Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at this motel with 1950s Florida-style rooms which were cozy but a bit small, especially since I chose one with two full-sized beds. The proximity to the road was a downside, but I appreciated the special requests they accommodated during my stay.
Staying at Hotel Molokai was a mixed experience. The rooms had a great view but were impacted by a somewhat noisy air conditioner mounted too high on the wall. The service was friendly and helpful, in line with Molokai's 'Friendly Island' reputation. The location gave a very relaxing feeling with nice views but had some frayed edges. Dining options were limited, and guests had to look elsewhere for meals.
