Hotels with Restaurants in Hawaii Island

"This is an old hotel but it was very clean and we loved the location in downtown Kona. We could walk to restaurants and bars. We paid for a very nice corner room with a huge lanai. The surf crashed below. We also made use of the tennis courts. The Mai Tai bar was good and the food while not high end was well prepared. Staff were nice."

"The ocean was visible from my room which was the best part of the room. The toilet creaked and the seat would slide off. The tub needs to be redone. During the daytime I was inside the room there was slow construction going on for the new restaurant. My stay was not relaxing because of the constant noise. Apparently this hotel has been under construction for years so this is a constant issue if you want daytime quiet. The food options here are lacking and over priced. Once Dukes opens it’ll be an improvement. Kids running around the slide area without parental supervision. I got food poisoning from the main restaurant here my first night. The stores here are double the cost of what you can get at the local market or ABC store. That’s a big convenience fee. I unfortunately met a few unfriendly staff. There is no access to the beach from this hotel. I would not recommend staying here."

"The overall hotel wasn’t bad but not very good. The disappointment was that our room and other visitors rooms were not ready and we arrived two hours past check in. They moved us to another room (downgrade) that had no scenery and was at the end of a service corridor (room 017). We had to pass by the workers lunch room, go by all the laundry carts that are stored in the corridor, and had a hidden entry at the end. Noisy due to the activity and maintenance area being right outside our door. Although this was the least expensive room on the property we did not receive a credit for the involuntary downgrade. Room smelled strongly of mold. One staff member said, “are you sure you want to give them that room”. Staff was ok but not inviting. We moved to a different property the following day which was a great experience. "
