The hotel is a blast from the past, but it is the only real choice in Hawi, which is a worthwhile stop if you are exploring the island. This is my second stay at the hotel -- I was here for 1 night in 2006 and this time stayed 2 nights. The rooms are admittedly dated, though linens are up-to-date... More

My wife and I had a nice time during our stay. Very nice sheets on a great bed. Cost was high at $80.00 for a queen bed in a hotel where you can hear everything being spoken in the next room and every foot step in the hallway outside. Hallway lights on all night kept the room illuminated. The ceiling... More

There are only 2 places to stay in Hawi, the other place is a guest house. The bed was great. The room smelled very musty. The shower didn't drain well and I had water over my ankles during a short shower. There was a sign saying not to use too much toilet paper or the toilet would back up. At... More

We stayed in a two room suite and found it to be a great little place to rest. It was quiet and the guests and staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice clean and more than adequate. It was a neat location and we enjoyed the courtyard. It was Not resort like one of the big names but... More

Stayed here as part of the BIEA Zip Trip (zipline plus overnight stay). Pretty basic, somewhat tired old rooms. Our windows didn't lock, and because of the layout we could hear people talking in the courtyard/other rooms until at least 3 a.m. Although there is a "no noise" policy after 10 p.m., it is not enforced because the hotel staff...

I stayed here one night recently in order to go ziplining. This is a very reasonable place, &70 is what I paid, and I consider this a steal in Hawaii. The rooms and layout look like something out of 1950, with wooden floors and plantation style verandas. Quite basic, but really, no complaints. In fact, I intend to stay there... More

Loved dancing to the fun bands at Luke's Place next-door Friday and Saturday night, and liked watching the locals dance.  Luke's Place is going out of business end of January.  The waitress thinks someone will buy it.  I recommend staying at the Kohala Village Inn Friday and Saturday nights if the bar re-opens, or if the band at Bamboo restaurant a block away...

Online, this hotel looks like a quiet, elegant B&B. In reality, it's a somewhat rundown motel right smack in the middle of town, across from two gas stations. The smell of mold hit us as we entered the room for the first time, and the shower stall was a bit scary. On the plus side, it's only a short walk... More
