    spacious rooms
    outdoor amenities
    limited parking

    Spacious rooms with ample power outlets and kitchenettes make for a comfortable stay. The outdoor area features a hot tub and small pool, great for unwinding after a day on the go.

    The complimentary breakfast leaves much to be desired. it's mostly processed options that lack freshness and healthy choices. Parking is a hassle, with limited spaces available on-site, requiring use of an overflow lot that's a bit of a trek. Additionally, the single elevator can lead to delays, especially during busy times, as it gets crowded with housekeeping. While the bathroom did have a few cleanliness issues, including a small cockroach spotting and stickiness, it’s something worth mentioning for those sensitive to hygiene.

    The pancakes and P.O. G. juice for breakfast were a delightful way to start each day, and the spacious room accommodated my group perfectly. Plus, the convenience of borrowing beach towels was a nice touch!

    comfortable suite
    decent breakfast
    helpful check-in
    limited laundry
    crowded dining

    This hotel has a great location right in the heart of Kailua-Kona. My king suite was spacious and well-equipped, making the stay comfortable. Housekeeping kept the room clean, and I appreciated the pull-out desk for my laptop. The breakfast setup was decent, with options that filled me up, though it got a bit repetitive. The staff were friendly, especially at check-in, ensuring everything went smoothly. I did run into a few issues. the laundry facilities had a malfunctioning credit card reader, which was frustrating. Also, the breakfast area felt crowded during peak hours, making it hard to find a seat. Overall, these inconveniences didn’t ruin my experience, but a few improvements would make it even better.

    The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Kona, making it easy to explore local shops and restaurants. The room was spacious and well-equipped, which made our stay comfortable. However, the breakfast could use some improvement, especially in terms of food variety. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with friendly staff who were very helpful during our visit.

    tasty breakfast
    cozy jacuzzi
    crowded breakfast

    We had an amazing stay for two nights in a king suite, enjoying the lovely pool and the cozy jacuzzi to unwind after our busy days. The only hiccup was that the breakfast area got a bit crowded, but the food was tasty and made it worth it. I'd definitely suggest making time to enjoy the poolside vibe!

    great location
    difficult parking

    Had an amazing time with my friends! We explored the stunning beaches and played golf at a beautiful local course. The staff was super friendly, and we loved the convenient breakfast options. Plus, the location made it easy to check out shops and restaurants nearby. Don’t forget to grab a beach towel from the front desk. it was a lifesaver for our beach days!

    However, parking was a bit of a hassle. We often struggled to find a spot when returning late, and the $10 daily fee added up.

    spacious room
    varied breakfast
    cleanliness issue

    The room offered a solid amount of space and a practical layout, complete with a fridge and coffee machine for convenience. Breakfast options changed daily, providing a good variety that included warm items like eggs and many pastries, making it a pleasant start to the day.

    Encountered small pests in the bathroom shortly after check-in, which was less than desirable. The cleanliness of the tiled floors left something to be desired, as they felt sticky underfoot. Additionally, the lack of a sufficient number of hangers in the closet and minor maintenance issues with the amenities detracted from the overall experience, making it feel a bit neglected.

    delicious cinnamon rolls
    comfy bed

    The breakfast had some delicious cinnamon rolls, I mean seriously, to die for! Also, the comfy bed was exactly what I needed after a long day.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but still acceptable for what I got.
