There is almost nothing to recommend this place. The fact that Hana Inn is more affordable than other exorbitantly priced lodging in Hana is the only reason to stay there. It is not attractive, it is not comfortable and it is not clean. I do not understand how Hana Inn received positive reviews.
The first red flag is that the photo of the building displayed on the website was taken at night. One cannot see any details in such a photo. The building is not attractive inside or out. This was not a nice looking place.
The bed was too small and barely large enough for two people. My feet hung off the edge of the bed and I’m only six feet tall. Somehow, I fit on almost every other bed. There were no chairs in the room, so no comfortable place to sit with privacy.
There were cockroaches in the bedroom and the bathroom. The introduction letter requested guests not eat in the room because food would attract “ants.” I do not believe ants are the problem. I have traveled to tropical locations and resided in sub-tropical environments. It is understandable roaches occasionally find their way into a building. But there were more than a couple.
My partner noticed, “It did not smell very good, either.”
The Hana Inn is labelled as a bed and breakfast. But they no longer serve breakfast. There is very little decent food to be found in Hana. The absence of breakfast at a “bed and breakfast” is not helpful. Guests are, however, allowed to use the kitchen at Hana Inn. The kitchen was far from clean. We did not want to touch the coffee maker, which appeared to never have been cleaned. The pressboard wood of the cabinets is expanding and the veneer peeling from the wood.
To make matters worse, other guests did not appear to understand that there are other people in the building. The walls are very thin. Doors slamming all night and neighbors laughing it up made sleep less than peaceful. It sounded like Frankenstein’s monster was dancing in wooden shoes in the room above.
It would be wonderful to see Hana Inn and its owners find great success as a business. But much needs to be done for that to happen.
