• Nice pool. On the beach, Air-conditioned, Big enough, Comfortable.
• Limited parking.

“I was thrilled to awaken and find the pool out our back door. The beautiful beach was just past the pool. Coconut Market Place is right in front for shopping and there are several choices of dining.”

• The receptionist at the front desk was excellent-mentioned sites to see and good restaurants.
• Wish they had a restaurant on site and the parking area was not near our room.

“Had a wonderful time touring the island. The receptionist was so helpful. She pulled out a map and informed us of places to visit and named several good restaurants. I wish I knew her name just to say a personal thank you. She made our visit so enjoyable since she passed on to us what to see. The people in Hawaii are so friendly and polite. I will return for another visit in a year or two.”

• Great value. Only 2* rated b/c it's an older facility w/o all of the amenities of newer hotels. Central Island location very convenient.
• Beds were full size vs. queens. Mattress & pillows could have been more comfortable. Beach wasn't very good spot, best to drive elsewhere.

“Great Central Island location in a town that was a perfect mix of locals & tourists: not too much of one or the other. A lot of restaurant choices near by. Easy to explore N & S from this hotel as a midpoint home base. Rated 2* b/c it's an old facility, but the grounds were very nice if you don't mind looking past the dated decor in the rooms. Staff was VERY nice, friendly and exceptionally helpful. Very clean. The pool and beach were not up to my standards (both were small & crowded), but there were some much more beautiful beaches w/in a 10-20 min drive.”

“The Resort Quest Islander is in a beautiful location with generous sized rooms. The necessities and more are met in the rooms which provide a lanai, kitchenette and a comfortable place for eating, sleeping and relaxing.”

• The lobby and internet access there. The outside 'bar'.
• Rather cramped space, being put on parking lot.

“Very nice outdoors lobby area - probe the best thing about the hotel. Easy access to beach. Not that romantic, however.”

• Free wireless. Nice TV. Friendly staff.
• A little carpet might not hurt. A rug maybe.

“The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got a decent price compared to surrounding area. Nothing exceptional, but very nice.”

• Nicest room I have ever been in by far.
• Honestly nothing.

“I have lived in apartments smaller than the room I got for under 200 a night. Unbelievable view close to everything. The best hotel I have ever been to bar none.”

Cleanliness:[10] • Staff:[6] • Location:[8]

• The rooms were renovated and very clean.
• Some of the staff was friendly, but some weren't. Not a great choice if service is important.

“The hotel was in a convenient location although it is very windy on that particular side of the island. The rooms are all renovated and have a small kitchenette. The garden view and partial ocean view rooms do not have queen or king beds. The pool area was very small and often very crowded. The service was ok. Most of the staff were very friendly, but we came across one seasoned staff member who was not very helpful. Next time, I would rather pay more and stay at a resort hotel with better service and grounds.”

“We were very pleased with everything. The rooms were nice and clean and newly renovated. Big TV and remote air system were a plus. All rooms face the ocean. Loved it. Wish we would have stayed longer than the 2 days.”

• The location was pretty good, close to shopping and on the beach.
• The place is falling apart. It needs some serious remodeling.

“While the location was good, I wouldn't recommend staying here. The carpet felt damp, the rooms smelled moldy, the rooms weren't cleaned very well and there were big patches of ceiling texture and paint missing. It was being remodeled for condo sale units so there was construction daily as well.”
