Spent one night on a 2 day excursion to the big island. Difficult to find because we used the address on the GPS but should have used the one on here. (Our directions took us the area NEXT to it but with one ways and fences we couldn’t get TO it). Once we figured it out, we were good. Parking was limited but the front desk helped us find a spot. Hotel was clean. Front desk was helpful. Felt safe. Breakfast was delicious!

Area was nice and room was as well. The only issue is that it sounded like something was chewing its way into or out of the air conditioner. This continued even when it was off but stopped for a while if I made noise.

Had a very nice stay!

I really enjoyed this hotel! The staff were very friendly and the breakfast is good. My only suggestion is that they get carpet in the rooms - I could hear the people upstairs walking around all of the time loudly. I had an issue with my first room and the staff was very nice and helped me get a new room. The pool is also very refreshing when it’s hot! I highly recommend staying here.

Not a good value for the price of almost $400 per night. I expected more and was appalled to have to pay for parking in addition to $370 for the night. Would not return

Comfortable, clean, quiet, convenient to restaurants and shops. Friendly check-in; called in advance and requested early check-in - they said they’d do their best to accommodate- and they did - was able to get keys to room a couple hours before official check in time. They also have locked luggage storage room for guests.
