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.

Fantastic!

The overall experience at the hotel was good. Everything was really good and the food. The service clerk was so kind and helpful. I would only suggest to make it a little bit faster when receiving refunds or payments back to one's personal debit card and maybe to have transportation to airport to hotel.Thank you!

A nice hotel in Kailua-Kona. A small pool area, bar, vending machines. Within 4-5 min walk to Alii Drive, the main strip in town. However immediately outside the hotel, it is somewhat limited. There is only one elevator and it can get busy at certain times of the day (eg. breakfast hour). Room rate included free breakfast ... in my case, biscuits & gravy, portugese sausage, scrambled egg, pancakes, bagels, cereals, yoghurt, juices, water, coffee. Reminded me of something you see at the Fairfield Inn breakfast. Room was pretty big, nice king sized bed, convenient outlets for recharging things. All in all, a very decent place to stay.

Spent one night on a 2 day excursion to the big island. Difficult to find because we used the address on the GPS but should have used the one on here. (Our directions took us the area NEXT to it but with one ways and fences we couldn’t get TO it). Once we figured it out, we were good. Parking was limited but the front desk helped us find a spot. Hotel was clean. Front desk was helpful. Felt safe. Breakfast was delicious!
