The cost to stay here is high but given how close it is to everything, the amenities, and the awesome staff who let us store our luggage and chill until our flight after check out, it was worth it to me. Very clean and comfy stay.

No complaints for this low-key hotel room. The rooms were clean and the mattresses were comfortable and not "bombed out and depleted". The morning's free continental breakfast isn't bad either as I've had way worse.

The location is great. It’s expensive for what it is but it’s Hawaii. The pool and hot tub are small but nice. The rooms are clean and the front desk staff is super nice.
The breakfast needs some help - please have more vegetarian and healthier options

Giving this hotel 5 stars for convenience especially traveling with my elderly parents. Located not too far from the main area, their handicap parking is super close to the entrance, check in was easy and I was able to add to my IHG account. It’s the only hotel in Kona that comes with complimentary breakfast, it can get busy but our room was on the first floor so it was so easy to go back and forth. Continental with a good amount of options to start your day. The room is huge with 2 queen beds and even a pull out couch. Comes with a hotel room, coffee maker, sink, and microwave. AC works well and very spacious for a large family and so close to walk by shops and easy to get in and out. Made it very easy to gf around and check in and check out was really easy. WiFi worked, small gym, and a pool.
