We enjoyed spending time in Waimea, which is a small, quiet town located on the beach and next to Waimea Canyon. There was not much to do at night and restaurants close early, but it was relaxing and seeing sunset from the beach was beautiful. Patrick was not at the inn when we checked in, but the housekeeper have us the key. Patrick greeted us the next day and was very friendly, offering advice about things to do on the island. The front door of the inn was always unlocked, and we just locked the door to our room. The neighborhood seemed very safe. The room was fine but a little run-down. The bathroom felt a little dirty and old, and the shower floor was brown and worn. The bed was comfortable, but we had difficulty sleeping since it was hot when we went to bed (even with AC blasting) but got cold in the middle of the night (we woke up several times to change the temperature). We enjoyed the ocean view from our room!
