old and worn

Hotel was old and needed a total update. Everything was worn to the point that it was years past needing replacement, and the room was musty smelling. Even the outside of the building needed repair.The location was very good. Continental breakfast was fine. Swimming pool was strange. Had no shallow end. Shaped like a big bowl-not children safe.

Location, Location, Location

The best thing was the location. The hotel staff was very nice and house keeping did a wonderful job. The rooms were "OK-ish" but the View from 3rd and 4th floors are gorgeous. The breakfast was not good at all. My wife and I stayed for 7 days, we just didnt have breakfast at the hotel... If you are looking for a good view of the ocean, you may want a 4th floor room, we were on the 3rd floor and we could see the ocean, but barely... hense the "Partial Ocean View" room. Overall between a 1-10, this hotel is a 7. definately not the hilton.

Get a 4th floor room

We paid for "superior" room & ended up w very dirty, moldy 3rd floor w/ "partial view". However, when I complained to the front desk, they immediately upgraded us to 4th floor where it was much cleaner, acceptable room w beds double-sheeted. All staff were helpful except 1 man on last day who was a bit grumpy. Overall, 4th floor was worth the stay but I would not have stayed one more minute if we had to stay in 3rd floor room.

Glass bottom dinner cruise was fun, but make sure you are clear on whether you're getting the coral view (not much to see) vs manta ray view.

Tobacco smoke only issue. Perfect location Kona. Good enough

You'll need to let the breeze in, but then the smoke from smokers in smoking rooms on their lanais will waft into your room. All else is good.

Turtles. But your sunscreen in the water is driving the turtles away. Could you do without the sunscreen here?

Very Good Value for the Money!

The Beds were very comfortable for this level of hotel. The Staff was very friendly. I would recomend to anyone on a budget who is not expecting Fine Dining on the premsies or a luxurious pool.
