Inn Waimea was great! Patrick was nice and very easy to work with. We stayed here so that we could have easy access into Waimea Canyon and to some south shore beaches. It was quiet, our room was clean and had AC, which was really nice. Patrick provides beach towels too, which was also a nice touch. The location was perfect for getting into the canyon, and for exploring Polihale beach. There are not a ton of good food options in Waimea, but we hit up Ishihara market daily for poke, bread pudding and marinated meats to grill (all were very tasty), Jo Jo's for shave ice and had a good dinner (and really good drinks!) at Wranglers. If you're looking for a quiet area to start adventures from, Inn Waimea is a great place!
