A classic Kona Hotel. Clean and well located. Service at the restaurant was inconsistent. Hotel is in need of a refresh. A bit dated. Work was being done on another building during our stay. Assuming entire hotel will eventually be updated.

Renovations have started in one of the three towers from what we understand. They are all desperately in need of upgrades and a refresh. Our tower had a great view of the ocean bay front, however the room was old with worn out faded carpeting along with a musty urine smell. 2 small double beds that were very low to the ground. Not suitable bed sizes for a couple to sleep in the same bed. Wobbly balcony furniture. Spots of black mold in bathroom on the ceiling and around the tub drain and fixtures. Small tub/shower. Cramped bathroom.

there should be a trash can by the TV, working shower… it was always WAY to hot or WAY to cold, no matter what we did the temperature was either one or the other. The no fan in the bathroom for steam kine sucked too.. maybe some mirrors in the bedroom area… other then just the bathroom. Some art would be kinda nice. As much as it was for 3 days, I expected it to be a lot better.
