We stayed in this hotel 5 nights. We arrived in a rental car. Location is great, close to shops and restaurants, opposite Kona Inn Shopping Village. Walking distance to Kailua Pier, park, churches, sea is just on the other side of the road. Checking went well, parking was either 10 USD/night or free in the lot right behind the hotel and its paid parking area. We chose the free parking and didn't have any issues. From there you can walk to the hotel across the paid parking lot (3 mins) and enter staircase or elevator.
There is no free breakfast offered anymore. Instead, the hotel gives you free vouchers valid in the Keoki's Donkey Balls touristic shop which seemed like nobody knew in the hotel where it was. It took us about 4 tries and 3 asks, till we found it. The answers were vague, like "opposite the hotel the coffee place". Eventually, at last somebody came up with the name and better directions, "walk out the road, walk right and look for it on the left side. It is a bit hidden.
Free breakfast! The voucher entitles 2 people to 2 pieces of sweet danish bakery/muffin, or a coffee and bakery, the rest has to be paid for. The shop does not have any good breakfast choice! We paid for hotel with breakfast, but no-real breakfast. When we inquired about this at the hotel, they were surprised that it is what it is but nothing happend.
The room! Our room was on first floor, roadside wing (closer to the sea). All that end of the wing looked like falling apart and in disrepair. The room was cleaned but looked worn down, so was the bathroom area and floor. Bathtub very old, shower curtain dirty, ceiling in the shower area had cracks and nice brown mushroom-like outgrows. We stayed 1 night because next day when I was taking shower, water was dripping from the ceiling light fixture. It was a bit scary as the light was on. I went to the reception and told them what happend. We were moved to another room on the third floor on the right wing, closer to the parking lot.
This room was slightly bigger, looked old but in somewhat better condition. No major problems there.
The courtyard of the hotel and the reception buildings in the middle are nice. There is a pool and in front what probably used to be the breakfast area. Lot of flowers, trees and greenery. Very nice and enjoyable.
It is a shame that a hotel in such great location and pleasant courtyard seems to be left to slowly deteriorate and does not get any updates.
