I had a last-minute change of plans and booked a same-day reservation, which worked out great. While the facilities are a bit older, they were well-maintained and very clean. The staffs were incredibly friendly, and the location was convenient with an ABC Store nearby. We would definitely stay here again if we have the chance!

We really appreciated the welcoming staff & drinks on arrival after a delayed travel day. They really helped set the mood for a great stay. The location is close to ABC Stores & great restaurant options. This hotel provided real coffee mugs and glassware in our room…a small touch but very nice! We will be back! Aloha!
