Good service and perfect location.we appreciated being able to get beach towels. The floors of the room could have been cleaner, but the room was made every day with fresh towels. The breakfast was just ok. Often out of coffee. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. There is a small pool and gym but we didn’t used the facilities.

Very friendly staff. Easy check-in. Plenty of aloha. The only downside, and not that big a deal to me, was the bed is a bit on the hard side. Could use a better mattress. Otherwise, this is a very good cheap stay in Kona.
