This is an old run down motel. There was trash out front when we checked in and it’s really old looking and not well maintained.The room was really dirty with peeling paint in the tub/shower, corroded sink faucet, lots of dust and dirt on the bathroom counter edges. Areas that were half repainted on walls in the bathroom and around the beds. Lobby, hallways and room carpet all had multiple large noticeable stains. Rusting ice machine in the hallway on our floor. Lots of dust around the wall AC unit in the room. AC unit was so loud that I needed earplugs. Free breakfast was not very good at all. They charge $15/night for parking and the parking is not in any way secure. It’s an open lot that anyone can walk or drive into. Front desk staff let us know on check in that there are no housekeeping services. The one positive was the location, it’s right on the marina which was nice.

The hotel was clean, but tattered and very dated and plain. However, rates were very reasonable for area. But the staff at the front desk were surly and, at times, were downright rude. There was one exception, a fellow during the evening. I don't have his name but I believe he was middle eastern. The manager was especially unpleasant.

This hotel is tired, but staff was friendly, and the location was perfect for attending the Ohana Festival (onsite parking and walking distance, can't be beat). The price, for the conditon, etc. was insane, but I am well aware we were paying festival prices. I would stay here again for Ohana.
