Away from everyone but won't miss fun
This is a second time staying this hotel. While the building may be older, the inside and inside of the room has been very comfortable. The view from the run is excellent from both partial and full ocean view. Farmers market, bar, restaurant, ABC store, everything is in walking distance and feels safe to do so. Great place to stay

Mediocre at Best
Really disappointed. Amazing view but rooms looked super run down and not high end what so ever. We have stayed at better motels. Also very loud and you can hear neighbors and those below. Not super eager to come back anytime soon.

Pay a little more and get a different hotel.
This is a very run down hotel. Our first room smelled terrible and the bed was all springs. When we requested another room, security led us up to check it. While walking, he expressed that tbis was very common. Once in our room, we decided to going buy a bedding set at Walmart as we were disgusted.

Corner Room with wrap around balcony
Overall, our stay at this hotel was very nice, however, I felt the price we paid was excessive for what we received. I was hoping to have a nice romantic trip with my wife, so I paid about $200 extra for an oceanfront corner room with a wraparound balcony. We were really hoping to be able to sit outside on the balcony to enjoy the views, but the barstools were too uncomfortable. The total cost for this room was about $500 a night midweek. When we arrived at our room, the views were stunning, but the room and the balcony lacked furnishings. The wraparound balcony was approximately 300 ft.² and only provided a pub table and two barstools to sit at. That’s the same furniture that they provide on their standard room balconies. In the main living/bedroom there wasn’t any real lamps or any type of reading light by bedside. There was only one lamp to light the entire room There was also a sofa and one chair. It would have been nice to have a coffee table or end table to put my cup of coffee down on instead of on the floor. There’s plenty of space to add a table. The bed was comfortable, but they didn’t have any extra blankets or pillows in the closet like you will find at most other hotels. The bathroom and the room was clean, and they did provide daily housekeeping which was nice, considering most hotels no longer do this. This hotel also only offers one restaurant with a pretty limited menu.

Great, convenient location with amazing views
We stayed 6 nights here, loved the location - very convenient to restaurants and shopping. There is an ABC convenience store just a few minutes walk away with food, drink, clothing, and souvenirs. We splurged and got an ocean view room, worth every penny! We didn't rent a car; we used Lyft and/or walked instead and that worked perfectly for us. No microwave but was nice to have a small refrigerator. Room in need of some updating, but our main complaint was choppy, unreliable WiFi which made uploading and sharing photos difficult. We threw away a lot of empty plastic bottles, hope the resort recycles but we saw no bins specific for that. We would definitely stay here again if we get the chance to go back to Kona!
