Clean and good amount of space for a motel.
We wished they had a small refrigerator in the room. Would have made breakfast a bit easier also nice to have some cool drinks.

Relatively inexpensive place to stay, Very convenient to the airport, clean spacious room. Good breakfast/lunch restaurant below the rooms. Management was kind enough to move a small refrigerator into our room, for my medicine.

We rented primarily to crash for the evening and freshen up before a late night flight back to the mainland. The outside of the motel was freshly painted, well kept up, clean. The room was very clean, nice tile “wood plank” floor, shower was walk-in/no tub, large/tiled and clean. no frills- no hairdryer, extra pillows etc. just a room, flat screen TV on a wall swing arm, good wifi, large nitro in the wall, window AC unit, plenty of outlets, and bathroom. The bed seemed on the firm side however we didn’t sleep overnight here, so will defer to other reviewers. Great communication Re: check-in after hrs which was smooth, never met the staff. Very close to the airport-3 min drive.
no hairdryer- but wasn’t expected at this price point.

Great location with easy access to the rest of the island. The staff was pleasant and quick to accommodate requests. It's a great choice if you're planning on getting down and dirty exploring the island and then coming back to crash for the night. Same location as the Tip Top Cafe, which is the local hotspot for breakfast and lunch (you have to try the pancakes!).
If your intention for visiting Kauai is to live in the lap of luxury and occasionally take a peek at the island, then this is not the place for you, and that's perfectly fine! If your intention is to have a place to crash after a full day of hiking/exploring, then I'm not sure you could do better. FYI; AC can be noisy, and the room doesn't have a mini fridge to keep drinks/snacks temperature controlled.

The place is simple but has 100 years of history. My wife and I enjoyed it very much, and we both slept well. I wished I had some blackening blinds, that's the one and only downside. If you are not looking for luxury, you'll surely appreciate it.
