Staff members gave my family and I excellent customer service! The morning continental breakfast was just ok. The overall quality was great for convenience and centralization of the property for the nearby shopping and dining. The only thing was we couldn’t stay longer for our short visit.

Very friendly staff. Easy check-in. Plenty of aloha. The only downside, and not that big a deal to me, was the bed is a bit on the hard side. Could use a better mattress. Otherwise, this is a very good cheap stay in Kona.

It serves our needs

I chose this hotel due to its location and it is close to the pier where most of our activities happen so it serves our needs. It also provides breakfast so we save some dine out expenses.

Very bad place. Rooms smell very humid, cockroach inside the rooms and very dirty place. Also the personnel from the breakfast never changed the gloves from changing the trash to replenishing the food, I was checking her for almost the 40 mins we were having breakfast and I was very discussed. They charged me $90 for extra guests after we left the hotel without me knowing and they saw we were only 4 and my mom got the room next to mine so they knew we weren’t together. They also charged my mom $30 for extra guests as well and they were only 3.
