I love the old Hawaiian look that the Wild Ginger Hotel provides. There were no fancy pictures or decorations but what they did have, gave me a sense of old Hawaii. I enjoyed every bit of staying there and I plan on staying there again.

It is very cute and old fashioned, with alot of Hawaiiana flavor but missing some important upgrades. Hot water is a problem, there's no tv and no air conditioning, although the fans were adequate. Staff is lovely and personable.

The worst Hotel I’ve ever been to. The sheets where dirty, dirty socks laying on the floor, no a/c, the door seem like with one push it will open up, no hot water in the room and no toilet paper. If you are use to living out side this is the economical hotel for you. I literally checked in and checked back out after 10 minutes.

We left immediately after check in to the room. the room was not nearly as shown from the picture. The lock does not really work, broken windows, no AC, the room looks terrible. My wife does not feel safe, we quickly booked another hotel and left. The money was totally wasted. We took some pictures of the room as painful reminders

The hotel is older and a little run down, but that was no surprise as they were very clear on the condition. Given that, it’s very clean and I had no concerns about the bed linens or towels. It all added to the character! It’s located just a few blocks from downtown which was fantastic, but I didn’t feel totally comfortable with the area to walk there by myself at night so I just drove.

Front desk staff were polite and helpful. Asked for extra blankets and the staff member was cordial and accommodating. The Wild Ginger Inn is a gem and is a pleasant stay. We have stayed here many times. We really like it.

I wish I were writing a different kind of review. Due to a flight delay and mechanical issue, I missed check-in at Wild Ginger. I called and messaged several times while stuck in Denver. I was told I’d only be charged for one night—which I understood—but I was billed for all three. Because the hotel doesn’t have 24-hour staff and their virtual check-in must be arranged ahead of time, driving two hours in the dark after nearly 20 hours of travel, with no guarantee of entry, wasn’t safe or realistic. Expedia tried contacting the hotel multiple times and received no response. I chose Wild Ginger to support a local, welcoming space instead of a big chain, but I was left out of pocket with no support—even with trip insurance. I did everything I could to communicate and resolve this. It’s incredibly disappointing.

Very convenient spot to swim the turtles by driving for a few minutes towards the airport, a great breakfast with fruits and homemade cakes, overall a very good deal if you enjoy staying in a vintage building with a bit reduced comfort
