Property located in central Kona and a close walk to shops and grocery stores. Good breakfast for a Holiday Inn. Be aware that parking spots are a little tight if you have a van or large SUV. Washing machines and dryer onsite are a little tired and could be replaced. Took two cycles in the dryer to get the job done. Overall would definitely stay again.

Good service and perfect location.we appreciated being able to get beach towels. The floors of the room could have been cleaner, but the room was made every day with fresh towels. The breakfast was just ok. Often out of coffee. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. There is a small pool and gym but we didn’t used the facilities.
