空港すぐ近くで、安かったので予約しました。かなり古く、ホテルというよりモーテル、民宿寄りです。エアコン、部屋着はありません。シャンプー、固形石鹸、ローション、天井ファン、冷凍冷蔵庫、各種タオルはあります。ドライヤーは備え付けはありませんが、言えば貸してくれます。水、お湯が出るウォーターサーバー、電子レンジがロビーにあり24時間使えます。Wi-Fiは部屋ではつながりにくいです。色々不便はありますが、今まで泊まったホテルのどこよりも、予約後の注意事項のメールやりとり等がスムーズで密でした。

We booked three rooms for six adults. Two of the three rooms had bed bugs. We immediately fled to another hotel. Even if there had been no infestation problems, the rooms were cramped and had no AC.

For being over 100 years old, it's exactly what you'd expect. She's old but has so much charm. The room and bathroom was clean, and met our expectations. The fans and no AC was okay with us. The breakfast was nice too!

Sheets was on stained blanket, with no sheets under and no bedspread. No hot water. Curtain was torn and couldn't close. Noisy frogs. They said I wouldn't be charged after we left.

This place is old and has lots of flavor. She is a 114 year old hotel. The floors aren't level, but her age shows us that uneven floors are cool! We will be back!

There are pests everywhere. No Ac and ripped window screens. No TV. When I was taking a shower it leaked to the room below. Frogs are jumping around . I poked a small whole on the wall and was shocked to see the wall behind was full of water. The floors are dirty and its location next to the highway makes it noisy all night. There is NO TV or AC. This is a terrible place.

This hotel was very quaint! As expected for an older hotel no ac and no tv but that was no problem. Hot water in the shower takes a little time to heat but I don’t think anyone would want to take a hot shower in an already warm room. Ceiling fan worked great in keeping cool during the night. Room was clean and maintained throughout the stay. Staff was lovely and very helpful. Would definitely recommend for a more down to earth experience in Hawai’i.

Unusual & Surprising
Checking in late seemed a bit sketchy. Could have been cleaner. However, Bed was clean & comfy. Upon rising, things looked better! Quirky & with an old Hawaiian motel setting! Interesting artifacts, amethyst rock, Hawaiian wood carvings & other arts! Surrounded by lots of green foliage, bamboo trees, relaxing lounge's & a quiet setting! Lots of Coqui’s singing, if you call it that!? Also, offered a free continental breakfast with coffee, juice, fresh hard boiled eggs, fruit, pastries, spam musubi…tasty & satisfying! As for returning to the “The Wild Ginger,” we want to bring our great grands back to get a feel of the Old Hawaiian Way🌺
