Enjoyed the Island (very clean) with all the "different" Hawaiian activities. Must dos are the Volcanos National Park - outstanding, Dolphin experience at the Hilton - very educational, and the various great restaurants. Was disappointed to see the Chinese restaurant serve shark fin soup to a family - thought that was no longer happening - so sad. Staff was friendly... More

We stayed here only for one night, after arriving 9pm from the mainland US, and we left early the next morning around 9am, so my review is somewhat limited. The location is very nice, close to the ocean (somewhat obvious from the name) and the employees are very nice. We had a package that said it included free breakfast at... More

Just returned from our stay at this outdated hotel. The location is great being right around the corner from shops and resturants, however the only seaside part of this hotel is a common area balcony overlooking the ocean. The rooms are dull and warn out. The hawaiian art/photos need to be replaced. The hallways are decent in the day as... More

This was a good homebase for my daughter and I. We spent 3 days here, then went to Hilo, and spent 3 days here again. Beautiful Hawaiian lobby as pictured--nice to sit and cool off after shopping. Room 208 w/garden court has morning sun and can get warm if you don't pull the drapes. The garden view, quiet, and birds... More

Yes, as some of the reviewers have pointed out the hotel has a "worn" look and feel to it. However, I would be hard-pressed to find a hotel room as clean as the one we had. It was simple, decently appointed and close to everything. The pool area was nice to spend some time at. For the price of the... More

For me, it's a nice little place, but honestly, we weren't at the hotel much. It was clean and cheap for us than hostels, so it worked out for us. Clean rooms, friendly enough staff, enough restaurants nearby. More

Long hallways, in this double level older motel, close to the heart of commerce, but lacking the real Hawaiian feel, could be anywhere USA once you are in the room. clean and easy to bad they don't have more parking More

It's all right, but things seem a little run down. I feel like I've entered a set of a 50s TV show. More

Excellent location, close to bay and restaurants. Two nice pools, deck with view of harbor. Included breakfast very substantial. Free internet computers in lobby. Supermarkets, P. O. nearby. Kona Brewery, our favorite place to eat, a short walk. More

Old decor but not ratty or stained. Clean room. Most of desk staff friendly, but one not so much. Worth the money, but way less parking spaces than rooms! If it's full up, expect to park in the free municipal lot just south. If not, it's an additional $5 to park in the hotel's lot! After you already paid $100... More
