There are alot of good things about this hotel. I hate to pay a bunch of money just for a bed to sleep in. This place shows its age but is clean enough. It is located close enough so that you can walk to the shops on Ali'i and the pier is just down the street. We got up early... More

We stayed here because ratings were decent and price was OK for a slightly late booking. High, hidden fees for parking took away much of the price advantage. It was a very small room, which was OK, but the window box air conditioner was placed to blow directly on our heads. It was not pleasant at all! Toast or freeze........ More

I stayed here three nights in late April and was pleased with the cost, the room, and the amenities. The downtown location made it possible to walk to a lot of shops and restaurants around the bay. The downside of this was the related traffic noise, which was loud if your window was open but barely audible if your window... More

The staff is very kind and helpful, good free wifi in the lobby with computer available, guest laundry (wash and dry), silent and wide room. Good breakfast nearby. you can walk to reach downtown. A free parking is very close to the hotel. The pool is small and not in a good position.

We were very happy with the Kona Seaside Hotel. The location is fantastic for easy access to beach, restaurants, shops and airport. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Elevators were fast. We purchased a breakfast plan with the room, and it was very convenient, tasty and filing. The only negatives were limited pool hours; could use darker curtains in... More

We stayed in this hotel in March. The hotel has an excellent value, central location with easy access to the beach, restaurants, shops, two hotel pools etc. We had a nice and quiet room on the top 5th floor facing the garden and the ocean, great views in all directions. However, be aware that the rooms on the street side... More

This hotel is in desperate need of a top to bottom renovation. The hotel was kept very clean and the staff was friendly, but this place is begging to be brought out of the 70's and into the new millenium. We paid $95.00 a night for a single queen room and the Marriott Hotel which was a stones throw away... More

We have stayed here many times. It's central location allows for easy access to the Kona Strip. The rooms are "basic Hawaiian" but do have air conditioning, a ceiling fan, small fridge and interesting blue shag carpet. There is also a drip coffee machine that allows you to try out the local coffee if you have your own filters. The... More
