Gabby is a great host. He and his staff were around to greet us when we arrived and someone was always on hand to answer questions or offer helpful local tips.
The Inn is centrally located in Hana, a short walk to Hana Bay and Red Sand beach as well as the limited number of restaurants and grocery stores in town.
After talking to Gabby, we learned he recently acquired the Inn and is working on updates on an ongoing basis. We appreciated the updated to the bathrooms (new flooring, sink/vanity and toilet), which were kept clean.
When we walked in our bedroom, it was tidy, with a set of towels set out on each bed. Potential guests should be aware that the rooms are small and don't have any seating in them so their main function will be for sleeping, so if you are seeking a place to relax and lounge in privacy indoors, you would be disappointed. To make up for the lack of private seating in your bedroom, there is a nice outdoor seating area as well as an indoor dining area and a kitchenette with everything you'll need to make a simple meal, including a nice newer fridge with plenty of room to store your food and beverages. We appreciated that coffee was brewed in the kitchenette during the morning.
One of the best things about staying at the Inn was meeting other travelers and sharing a beer or meal together.
Gabby thoughtfully provides sunscreen and bug spray and some traveling guides in the dining area. He also has a grill that you can use upon request.
Given how expensive lodging is in Hana, the Inn is a good bargain. It is clear that Gabby and his family are putting a lot of effort into making the guest experience as good as possible. We appreciated that he emailed us and asked for our feedback on our stay and ways to make it better. As a new owner, this shows tremendous initiative and attention to customer satisfaction.
Overall, we had a good stay. As introverts, our only "wish list' item is a private seating area in our room.
