Disliked: Cleanliness
I stayed here for a week and was less than impressed when it came to cleanliness. In the room it’s like the floor was never swept or mopped while I was there and even right when I arrived it was so dirty and you could see the dust under things as well. The little kuerig was never restocked with cups. The shower drain had a weird smell to it and the fan inside the bathroom barely worked. Pretty good soundproofing between walls but you can hear people above you when they walk around. I had a room that faced a parking lot/street so not the quietest at all times. There were some hiccups with the complimentary breakfast where one day the oven wasn’t working, the toasters sometimes worked or just burned whatever you put in it.

Parking should be free for hotel guest only (that's my biggest peeve) Our bathroom fan did not work, the Internet was fickle, going in and out all the time ( TV). I will say, the staff was great, especially during the morning breakfast rush. Kudos to them

Our family of 5 had a very nice stay at this hotel. The AC was nice and strong in the rooms and the buffet breakfast was a bonus. The young lady that works at the front desk in the mornings (Apr 29 and Apr 30th), didn't get her name and wish i did was super helpful and nice. My hands were full from helping my kids grab the breakfast and i needed to open the door that leads back to the rooms and she right away went to grab the door for me. Very alert! She was always smiling and she has amazing memory! Told her once my room number, she remembered it each time. Location is amazing. 1 min walk into Ali'i drive (main downtown area). Thank you for making our trip relax.

Basic but fitted our needs

Nicely located hotel in the centre of the town. Staff were friendly, even after having to deal with an irate customer, before me! We were woken up at 5am by a fire alarm, which was a new experience! Breakfast was basic, but acceptable and differed slightly everyday. Small fitness room and pool but didnt utilise, others did and looked ok. Car park fee is charged

It’s a nice place to enjoy Kona. For us it was nice because we live far so booking a night was very easy and convenient and good price for local family. We will sure be staying again soon. Clean and friendly

The hotel was short of towels so we had to wait for the hotel to finish drying the towels. Very limited parking stalls. Complementary breakfast was good. The fire alarm went off at 5:15am and we (and most guests) evacuated the property. It was a false alarm but someone couldn’t find the key to turn off the alarm. We were not ready to get up that early as we had a late night. It was very inconvenient for everyone.
