We stayed here for 4 nights for a friend's destination wedding. Since hotels are pretty expensive in the area, the positive reviews of this hotel on Trip Advisor convinced us to stay here. In hindsight, we wish we opted to pay a little more and stayed at a nicer hotel. Overall, we were surprised that this hotel is very dated... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights on the way from the mainland to The Big Island. We were told the continental breakfast was discontinued so I'm surprised to see the other reviewers staying at a similar time reviewed the breakfast. The staff was friendly, the rooms clean (but small as others have said). The location is good and... More

We chose this as a reasonably priced hotel away from the hustle and bustle, but sufficiently close to the shopping and beach. This took 10 minutes to get to the centre. Our room was on the 9th floor and nice size and clean. It didn't have much of a view, but this didn't bother us as we only used it... More

I booked this hotel based on the reviews. Then I realized I knew very little about what it had to offer. Little did I know I was going to be staying at such a marvelous hotel. It is very cute and quaint compared to the massive skyscrapers on the beach and it was only a 5 minute walk to the... More

At first blush, this hotel presented the impression that it was a somewhat dated and worn older hotel which was spruced up with a selection of vivid colors on the walls and furnishings to look more like a boutique hotel. However, the helpful staff, location, and cost compared to other hotels made one appreciate this facility the longer one stayed.... More

This former "Best Western" has new owners, and has been renovated in recent months. It has a fresh, lively look compared to the cooler, more sedate appearance of "The Shoreline", its sister hotel a few blocks away. The staff is absolutely delightful, and the renovations truly give it a small "boutique" hotel appearance. Unfortunately, they couldn't change all the room... More
