Staying at this hotel was fantastic! The proximity to Lihue airport was super convenient, especially for travelers like me who love easy access. The rooms were cozy and clean, making for a comfortable stay overall. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, with low-quality food at reasonable prices. Despite that, the service was top-notch, and the facilities were well-kept.

The hotel is conveniently close to the Lihue airport in the three Hawaiian islands I've visited or lived in, offering a great location for travelers. The rooms are equipped with a small fridge, providing added convenience. The dining experience comes with reasonable prices but might lack in quality, especially for those craving steaks.
