Great Weekend Getaway

This weekend was great to get away from the hustle and bustle of home and work. Complimentary breakfast at Tante's Restraunt with the view of the ocean right across the street. It was nothing like fine dining but it was relaxing, food was good, and workers were friendly. Overall, this hotel was comfortable. The only disappointment was the parking. Although I got a parking pass, there wasn't any parking in the evening so I had to park down the street in a public parking area and walk to the hotel.

Clean and sufficient

A good budget option! Everything was clean and comfortable, parking was a lot cheaper than other places ($5), and there was a comfortable lobby with internet access (so that you don't have to pay to get it in your room). The only minor annoyance was that I had a hard time finding outlets to plug in my cell and laptop in the room.

Fabulous hotel

Our flight arrived early from Honolulu to Kona. We decided to check in to our hotel at the Kona Seaside, at around 11:15am. We were told by the front desk staff that check in is at 3pm. They gave us the option to pre-check in and we can call in several hours to see if our room is ready. This hotel does not have an early check in policy (which i think they should consider for a small fee). We Pre-Checked in and paid $5 a night for parking. Parking must be fully paid at the time of check in. You will need to display the parking pass on your windshield. We received a call form the hotel about an hour after we left, saying that our room was ready. We checked in with no problems and received three complimentary breakfast coupons (this is a major plus). We were assigned room 1012. The room was very clean. The carpet looked like an 80's blue shag carpet, but was very clean, clean enough to walk on without slippers or shoes. The room came with a coffee pot with tea/coffee bags, a mini icebox and a GE window a/c and a ceiling fan, and two queen beds. The balcony was HUGE equip with a small table and two chairs. All-in-all we had a wonderful stay at the Kona Seaside Hotel. I would definitely stay their again, and I personally recommend this hotel. Its close to shopping, dinning, and outdoor activities.
