    The Holiday Inn Express provided a productive setting for my work needs. The room was spacious, featuring a comfortable bed, a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee machine, which allowed for convenience during my stay. The staff was exceptionally helpful, ensuring that my check-in process was efficient and addressing any inquiries I had promptly. Additionally, the location was ideal for accessing local businesses and amenities.

    Parking availability was limited during peak hours.

    Had a great time! The location was perfect, just a short walk to shops and the ocean. The cozy breakfast area offered hot oatmeal and fresh fruit. Only downside was parking could be tricky. 👍

    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.

    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!

    Comfortable Stay with Unforgettable Breakfast Options!

    Enjoyed two nights in a spacious Queen Suite. Breakfast stole the show with various hot items and those famous cinnamon rolls! Staff were warm and welcoming. A tip, request extra hangers upon arrival to make unpacking smoother. Overall, a great family getaway!

    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.

    delicious cinnamon rolls
    comfy bed

    Solo traveler with some good memories

    The breakfast had some delicious cinnamon rolls, I mean seriously, to die for! 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.

    I truly appreciated the hotel's central location in Kailua-Kona, making it easy for me to explore local shops, restaurants, and beaches. The pool area was delightful for relaxation after a day of outings, and the staff were incredibly friendly.

    Breakfast area needs better pest control.

    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.
