    Good location but needs MAJOR TLC
    Good location in the heart of Kona. This hotel is in major state of disrepair. You know you are in for it when even the outside of the hotel looks like it hasn’t seen cleaning or repairs in decades. You are paying for the location only - room was dirty, mismatched…

    Great place and great value!
    Very nice place; clean, friendly, low budget! It is right in the shopping area, great location to walk to everything! They did have a breakfast, but we didn't get to stay for it. Parking is in the back of the hotel.

    It gets 2 stars for location only
    I stayed at this hotel over 15 years ago when I was in school on a girl's trip and it was acceptable then--not great. Well, flash-forward over 15 years and the place hasn't changed AT ALL. This place is in need of a major refresh. The locations is so central and perfect right in…

    I see that the ocean view room is the kitchenette I don’t care about the kitchen I just want a dope view which room would that be?
    I don’t know as we were in the main hotel. There is a wing of the hotel across the street that’s right next to the ocean. I would assume an ocean view room would be there. The only way to see the ocean in the main hotel is over the roof tops of the Kona Inn which is across the street.

    Is this unit a kitchenette? And if it isn't, how much is a room with kitchenette? And are rooms smoking, available?
    We didn't have a kitchenette but we had a fridge and a microwave, but we didn't use it, We used Uncle Billy's as a one night stay until we were able to enter our room at another hotel.

    "Building close to ocean has rooms with kitchenette, but smaller than in other building"
    "Be aware that most of the air conditioning units are noisy"
    "We booked a deluxe room, on 4th floor - there is a lift. Great view form Lanai"
    "Go to another hotel...for $10 more, the air conditioner will work and it won't be filthy."
    "None - choose another hotel"
