Stayed overnight to attend a family party in the area. Our party had 4 adults and 2 children and we stayed in the Executive Suite on the 2nd floor. The suite was spacious, cozy, cool country breezes and very peaceful. The only struggle was sharing 1 bathroom for 4 adults, but the full kitchen was convenient. Everything was clean and... More

I loved this place and will happily stay again. We were in a quiet room which was clean, cute and had everything you could need. The breakfast was good and accomodating. I LOVED the local jams and butters on offer to try. Sooooo good!

The room is basic, bed is comfortable and there is free wifi. However, the breakfast was poor. We were there at the breakfast rom at 8 and the fresh fruit plate was empty except for 3 strawberries. Asked for replenishment and was told there was no more. Fruits on big Hawaii are cheap , so cannot understand why they couldn't... More

We are disappointed that your breakfast experience was less than expected. We usually get rave reviews via guest survey forms for the generosity and quality of our continental breakfast. We serve a variety of locally-grown fruits to support our big island farmers and freshly baked goods. Your input is appreciated and will be reviewed with our staff for improved service. More

Lovely and clean! Great pride of ownership... Nice breakfast, and a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommended, uniquely Hawaiian. We stopped on our was from Hilo to Hawi and were pleasantly surprised. Much nicer than the chain hotels.

We stayed 3 nights at Kamuela Inn. The standard of accommodation is pretty basic but the rates are low. However, the rooms are clean and the shower was hot and powerful. Breakfast was a self service affair with plenty to choose from. One of the highlights of the hotel was the hotel staff who could not have been more friendly... More

A nice b/b motel set back a bit from a busy road, and very near Merriman's - a truly high end restaurant. Very friendly staff. Room quiet, cute and clean. One of our party said he had mold, so perhaps periodic sweeps with Clorox wipes re in order. After all, it's a humid area. Good WiFi and near a pleasant... More

The hotel is located near the intersection of 11 and 19. Since Hawaii limits road signage there was no road sign at the turn so it would be best to map it so you don't miss the turn. Nice clean ( except for one very large roach) room. Good value. We had to leave a day early and the hotel... More

Amazing value for money- the people couldn't have been nicer. Great price, very clean, delicious breakfast. Really cute town, so glad we stayed here. Thoroughly recommend it. Great place to visit Mauna Kea as well as the northern part of the Big Island.

Stayed here after visiting Mauna Kea- great location, nice, well kept grounds, friendly staff. We did have a few considerations, though. The room was very small, but clean. The walls are very thin- if the person in the next room has the hiccups, you'll know about it. Also, the breakfast was fine, but they ran out of a few things... More
