Staff was kind, room was clean and in great condition. Breakfast was good. The best part was the hotel didn’t charge me a million hidden fees like the resorts in Kona do. As locals it’s hard to find somewhere affordable in Kona, so this was a lovely surprise.

The unexpected cost of $15.00 parking was not expected and was an added cost to my stay cost. I would have considered other options at other hotels. This cost of parking should have been known before booking stay. Another disappointing about stay is that the handwashing soap was completely empty when checking in the room and shower bath soap was 1/2 empty and blow dryer was damaged to where it can cause injury. This made me wonder if the room was checked before we got in the room. I have taken pictures to back my story. Please have housekeeping check everything before continuing to the next room.

Room AC was quiet unlike many hotels in Hawaii. Shower had strong water pressure, very rare. Front desk staff very friendly. Breakfast was decent. I notified front desk re problem with weight room (parade of guests come in to fill up water bottles, one guy filled up 6 half gallon bottles during my workout). Maybe move the filtered water station to the lobby? Hard to find hotel at night in the dark due to one way streets. Apple maps send you the wrong way. Great location to walk to shops and restaurants. I would stay here again.
