Friendly staff and great location.
10$ daily parking although we found free parking on an adjacent road.

The hotel is the nicest one on Ali'i drive, in the center of Kona. The decor has a 70's feel but the hotel is clean and staffed by friendly people. We were upgraded at no cost to a ocean view room in the main tower.

The grounds, ocean view and the buffet breakfast.
Bathroom needed to be cleaner and updated.

The hotel is a good value at the Priceline bidded price, but not at the hotel price on your regular site or others. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast and the view and location, next to restaurants and shops of Kailua Kona. We were in the bay tower. The alii tower has more upgrades, such as flat screen TV.

Location.
Old, needs some remodeling.

I stayed only one night but the bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. The ice machines were located on the 2nd floor and we were staying on the 5th floor, inconvenient.

Hotel staff members were friendly and helpful.
Upon entering the lobby area, the fish pond stunk; had to pay for parking ($10.00).

As a resident in the islands, this would be my first and last time we will stay there. Would not recommend it to family or friends. For sure this is not a three star hotel.

Location was great to walk to shops/restaurants.
Had to pay additional parking fee.

Excellent location in Kona for walking to shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly and were helpful with our upgrade request. Rooms were well maintained if not a little dated.

It looked like old Hawaii--we felt comfortable there.

The location was perfect, the openness of the lobby & pool area was So Old Hawaii, the 2 lanais, open to the ocean & the mountains, the friendliness of the staff, all makes us want to visit again, & stay longer. And, the price was great!!

Spectacular ocean front (not all rooms have ocean view).
Laundry room is in another tower.

Solid hotel for the money. They make a real effort to give discounts for the luau (25% for 2) and Don the Beachcomber's restaurant (20%).
