This place was fantastic. Very efficient for a quick stay on the island, clean, plenty of parking, and the restaurant downstairs was delicious and very fast even when crowded. The staff was kind and helpful. Lots of things to do within walking distance.

Only positive thing-room was clean. Overall view-the accommodations looked like a jail cell. No windows to speak of. The air conditioner lacked controls. Would not recommend this motel to my worst enemy. Have second thoughts of using Expedia in the future.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This motel is only staffed for a few hours a day morning and afternoon. Everything is done online and you are sent a code to get into the door. It felt more like a dorm room than a motel. I have stayed in far worse places, though so it gets 2 stars. I did not think it was worth the cost but I understand that this is Kauai and everything costs more. Saw no evidence of bugs and the towels and beds were clean.

We were pleasantly surprised with the room and would return again. We stayed on the 1st floor so parking was right there. And free! The room was upgraded and clean. Would have liked a mini fridge in the room, though. Accessing the room via code was very convenient. Great location and easy to stroll over to the cafe for yummy breakfast.

It was fine, room was clean, bed was tiny, very spartan, if you need somewhere to stay for a night it's ok, but don't expect anything remotely luxurious. We didn't get the breakfast, parking was available and free.

This is a basic accommodation for a budget traveler. It was clean and fine for us. The fact that the cafe was a local favorite increased the rating. Its proximity to the airport and primary roadways also was a plus.
