A nice hotel in Kailua-Kona. A small pool area, bar, vending machines. Within 4-5 min walk to Alii Drive, the main strip in town. However immediately outside the hotel, it is somewhat limited. There is only one elevator and it can get busy at certain times of the day (eg. breakfast hour). Room rate included free breakfast ... in my case, biscuits & gravy, portugese sausage, scrambled egg, pancakes, bagels, cereals, yoghurt, juices, water, coffee. Reminded me of something you see at the Fairfield Inn breakfast. Room was pretty big, nice king sized bed, convenient outlets for recharging things. All in all, a very decent place to stay.

Spent one night on a 2 day excursion to the big island. Difficult to find because we used the address on the GPS but should have used the one on here. (Our directions took us the area NEXT to it but with one ways and fences we couldn’t get TO it). Once we figured it out, we were good. Parking was limited but the front desk helped us find a spot. Hotel was clean. Front desk was helpful. Felt safe. Breakfast was delicious!

Had a very nice stay!

I really enjoyed this hotel! The staff were very friendly and the breakfast is good. My only suggestion is that they get carpet in the rooms - I could hear the people upstairs walking around all of the time loudly. I had an issue with my first room and the staff was very nice and helped me get a new room. The pool is also very refreshing when it’s hot! I highly recommend staying here.
