Waimea Country Lodge is a charming and well-located place perfect for exploring Waimea. It offers clean, spacious rooms with many closets and very comfortable beds, making for a restful stay. The rooms are equipped with handy amenities like a fridge, body wash, soap, and even a kitchenette in some units. Guests appreciate the upcountry charm, mountain views, and the quiet atmosphere at night, only disturbed by early morning chickens. The lodge's location is ideal, with supermarkets, restaurants, and a Hawaiian-style cafe just a short walk away. The area is walkable and convenient for making day trips, with many local eateries nearby, although these are mostly small, local restaurants rather than upscale options. The staff is friendly and communicative, providing great service, including special requests like irons and ironing boards ahead of time. The lodge's reasonable prices and cleanliness make it a good value. Some minor issues include small gaps between mattresses and bedframes, which can cause minor bumps, and some awkward check-in times requiring guests to be available during staff hours. Overall, Waimea Country Lodge offers a clean, comfortable, and affordable stay with friendly service, making it a good base for visitors wanting to experience Waimea and its surroundings.
We enjoyed our stay here. Good level of cleanliness and the staff was very accommodating and kind. Waimea is a beautiful part of Hawaii. This location was central to many restaurants, grocery store and other stores (all within walking distance). Highly recommend.

We stayed for 2 nights over Christmas and had a great experience. The room was comfortable and the kitchenette super practical for meal prepping. The staff we interacted with were friendly, helpful, and communicative. If we are ever back in. Waimea again, this is for sure where we will stay.
