Staff was kind, room was clean and in great condition. Breakfast was good. The best part was the hotel didn’t charge me a million hidden fees like the resorts in Kona do. As locals it’s hard to find somewhere affordable in Kona, so this was a lovely surprise.

Room AC was quiet unlike many hotels in Hawaii. Shower had strong water pressure, very rare. Front desk staff very friendly. Breakfast was decent. I notified front desk re problem with weight room (parade of guests come in to fill up water bottles, one guy filled up 6 half gallon bottles during my workout). Maybe move the filtered water station to the lobby? Hard to find hotel at night in the dark due to one way streets. Apple maps send you the wrong way. Great location to walk to shops and restaurants. I would stay here again.

In general, the room was good but perhaps not worth the price. The best thing was that the location is good because it's just a short walk to restaurants, bars, shops and the beach. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. And the room had a good layout, microwave, refrig, and small coffee maker. The windows had darkening shades. But there were a few faults. There were several black hairs on the floors and bedspreads even though we don't have black hair. The breakfast room attendent would not allow guests to access the coffee dispensers until the 6:30am official breakfast start time. We were disappointed to have to go to Starbucks instead. The mattresses were firm. The air conditioner thermostat would not permit us to raise the temp higher than 66 degrees, so a bit cold for sleeping. On the other hand, turning it off would have made the room much too warm. Also, there should have been more hooks to hang wet swimsuits and clothing (it rained). The only hooks were in the bathroom on the back of the door.
