Our stay at MOlly's hotel room was a very mixed experience. We had been attracted by its very promising advertising, which we found partly misleading.

The place is not an apartment but a standard hotel room (confirmed by the very friendly and helpful hotel receptionists). The room itself was clean and well equipped (we just missed plates and the like). Instead of claiming: "The ocean view room is located on the quiet side of the hotel", it would have been more correct to write "the small balcony overlooks green woodland and to the right part of the resort's parking space and its central trash area, with an adjacent large concrete box exhibiting refrigerator sounds day and night". The host promised to us a correction of her description, yet at the time of this writing this has not been done.

When booking it was not clear to us that various mandatory fees are added by the resort: check-in fee ($25) and cleaning fee ($55), both of which were not mentioned in the ad, as well as a parking fee ($16.95/day) charged in case one brings a car. This not only hit us by bad surprise (also because extra fees are only mentioned in a section initially hidden by a "+ More" button) but even if adequately stated does not allow for a realistic initial price comparison with other places offered via Airbnb. Internet access in the room is optional for $9.95 per day.

Beware that the cancellation policy is strict (and also switching to a different room of the resort is impossible). Otherwise we would have left the place for good the morning after our arrival, paying the respective one-day portion of the total price including fees.

After some dispute with the owner and quite some forth and back by email, MOlly took over all the extra fees the hotel would have required from us, and we received some compensation for our other complaints (mostly) mentioned above. So in the end we felt satisfied with the cost/benefit ratio we obtained, except that the process of sorting out all this did cost us a number precious hours, and the trouble we had took, say, half of the enjoyment the resort could have provided to us as its guests.

We did like the arrangement of the resort with its pools and its beachfront. Its restaurant was not fully convincing to us (we tried the $20/person breakfast buffet once), yet the island offers a great choice of attractive alternatives.
The location of the resort is indeed conveniently close to the airport, shopping (we found Wal-Mart in Lihue excellent value) etc., and absolutely central for excursions by car to Kauai's wonderful nature on both its south and north shores.
