The room was very clean and the staff members were very friendly and helpful.
We had a very relaxing few days stay.
But the property does need maintenance and repairs.
This was just the weekend of relaxation I needed!! The staff were very friendly, and the property itself was beautiful, clean, and quiet. The room was perfect, and the beds were beyond comfortable!! Would definitely stay here again!
Excellent location overlooking the ocean. The restaurant has an unbeatable view, great atmosphere and food and friendly staff. Room was very comfortable and clean. Wonderful place to stay on Molokai.

The room was very clean done by the Housekeeper. However, twice the water was turned off and the front office did not inform our room that the water was turned off. 😳😳😳 we could have used another room to take a shower and use the bathroom. Talking to the front desk was very helpful and pleasant.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The king bedroom we stayed in was spacious and had full kitchen utensils, pots, pans, microwave, fridge for making simple meals. Our room was # 215, an upstairs room which has a nice view of a garden area from the outside lanai area; and a bit of the ocean view. Across the ocean we could see Lanai island in the distance. The staff was also very friendly. Close to the small town area (5mins by car); 20 minutes from the airport. We would stay here again when coming to Moloka’i in the future.
Old but well kept. Was happy to have AC in the room. Close to town. Would definitely stay there again.

Hotel Moloka’i
Older hotel rooms, but very clean. Restaurant only open for breakfast Saturdays and Sundays lunch and dinner most days. On a small beach but not swim able.
We have lived on Oahu and wated to see parts of the islands we have not seen. Moloka'i is beautiful! More importantly, we felt like a welcomed part of the community from the moment we met our driver who transported us to the hotel ( shoutout to Moloka'i Outdoors) to check in through our stay. The nightly local musicians at the restaurant were all wonderful and the view of the sunset is awe inspiring!
The location was nice. The staff was friendly. Overall nice set up.
My biggest issue was the checkout time. Check out was at 9am and it cost $90 for a late check out time of noon. They charge $30 per hour for late check out. I was aware and paid for it, but that's the worst late checkout policy I've ever seen.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff is friendly. There is on property dining for lunch and dinner. Rooms need updating and better spot cleaning. Not many lodging options in the area other than condos.
Our waterfront unit was just that - within a few feet of very calm ocean waves. The onsite restaurant/bar was outstanding: the food, service, location, drinks and entertainment. the only complaint is that the a/c unit in the room was too small to get the temp down to where we like it.
1st visit to Molokai.
Hotel was great for a quick island *checkout*.
Nice apartment tyoe grounds layout and rooms.
Wife LOVED the mattress.
Solid food and cocktail service, modest but adequate pool and grounds.
Appreciated the coin laundry.
Would recommend and might return.
Much more to see on Molokai.
