An excellent stay in the heart of Kailua-Kona. A lower star rating due to less elaborate facilities; the only thing missing is the onsite bar and sauna. Great pool and spa, good gym and free breakfast! Restaurants and bars a minute’s walk away. Will book again.

Great hotel in the heart of Kona! Walkable to Kona Brewery, shopping, and more. Parking was paid but super convenient at the hotel. Rooms were large, clean, and had great amenities. Breakfast was the perfect way to start the day and every staff member we interacted with was kind and professional. We'll be back on our next trip to Big Island!

This hotel was fine for a one-night stay after a long day of travel before heading to Hilo. Be aware that parking costs $15 per night. The hotel tends to attract families and large groups, so it’s not the quietest option. The hot tub and pool could have been cleaner, but the free breakfast was a nice perk and helped save on dining costs. The room was adequate—questionably clean but manageable for a short stay. The highlight was the friendly and helpful front desk staff, who upgraded us to a suite when our original room wasn’t available. Plus, it’s a quick walk to the main part of town, which was convenient.
