It is a Holiday Inn Express, not a 5 star resort. Good location, basic breakfast included. Parking is a bit tight when they are sold out.

Staff was kind, room was clean and in great condition. Breakfast was good. The best part was the hotel didn’t charge me a million hidden fees like the resorts in Kona do. As locals it’s hard to find somewhere affordable in Kona, so this was a lovely surprise.
