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.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms are essentially modeled on 1950s motels of Florida, cozy but small, and may be located too close to the road.

Service

The staff, including the maid and grounds staff, were all extremely friendly, helpful, and professional, making my experience delightful.

Location

8.0

The location was perfect as a central hub around the island, with breathtaking views and live music in the bar. It's directly positioned on the beach, offering a nostalgic feel of old Hawaii.

Dining

6.0

The dining options were limited, but it was nice to have coffee and a pastry to start the day, especially when the closest restaurant is a bit far away.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were good, though nothing extraordinary, but accessible vending machines were a convenient touch.

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.
