Uncle Billys Kona Bay Hotel

The view of this hotel at first was cool because loser to the entertainments. After we got into the room, we didn't like the way it advertised us - "You have been Upgrade to 2 STARS hotel!!" but it is like not star hotel. They didn't tell us upfront that we need to pay 5 dollars for a day for the parking space. We read the posted and we thought it is about guest as our friends not us as ourselves as guest. Overall it was just OK. We want our money back or half of the money back to us. ...read more

Uncle Billy's in Kailua-Kona exceeded my expectations for a one-star hotel! The room was clean, very spacious and quiet. There were two sinks - one for the bathroom and one was a kitchen sink. The bathroom sink was separate from the shower and toilet (a plus!). Also, there were some shelves in the closet and along the wall for additional storage space. For the budget traveler, I highly recommend Uncle Billy's! ...read more

This hotel is very run down, and only marginally clean. The maids appeared to do a good job cleaning--but many things that may not be considered their job were not done, i.e.: gum stuck to carpet, plastic table on balcony covered with what appeared to be old ice cream, smudges on walls. Maintenance was much in need, i.e.: broken light fixture, window glass replaced with plywood, cigarette burns in bedspread. Social atmosphere also bad, i.e.: surly folk at check-in, young thugs drinking beer and intimidating folks in the parking lot. This hotel is not a 2 star hotel. It barely qualifies as a one star hotel. It's only attribute is location (downtown Kona, convenient but noisy) and the fact that it is cheap. ...read more

Dear travelers, if you like a moles in the ceiling, walls and tables this hotel is for you. If you want a nice, clean and pleasant sleep find something else.

Nice people, good location, but run down and slightly dilapidated. Parking is $5 a day and not included in room rate.

Not bad, for the price.

I will never stay in this hotel even if it is free. It is so dirty and old. They even charge you for using their parking lot. It smells so bad and everything in the room is old. Leaky faucet. Lots of ants and insects in the room. ...read more

This hotel needs a major overhaul. It is showing its age when is the last time you stayed at a hotel that used a regular key and not a keycard. Still, it is cheap and clean, and located right in the middle of the action in Kona. ...read more

For what it is, it is just fine.

Pretty inexpensive for the location, but our experience was staying there on the night of our arrival to Hawaii and all we wanted to do was sleep. Sleep was difficult with all of the noise coming in the window, no AC which is ok comfort wise, but keeping the windows open made it too loud. ...read more
