  • Overall: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "I would strongly recommend the Kona Seaside, as would my mother (who at 86 greatly appreciated the central location), and would select this hotel above all the others for a return visit to the island." source Travelocity

    "the little restaurant attached is a great place for breakfast- the lady who sings every morning strumming the ukelele is a nice way to start the day." source Expedia

    "I would not recommend it if you were a person who sees the highlight of the trip being the spa, gym or other resort like activities." source Travelocity

    "Overall, it was a reasonable value if you're not looking to be pampered and want to have more money for dining and buying souvenirs." source Travelocity

    "No on-site restaurant and the one the hotel recommended was very dirty, there were however good restaurants close by." source Travelocity

  • Clean: Rating of 4.0 out of 5

    "The curtains weren't double-lined so the morning light shines in, but all in all, it was an inexpensive hotel in a good location and it was clean and quiet and well maintained." source Orbitz

    "room was clean, staff was very friendly - the only free parking is in a parking lot just down the street but it isn't too far and since we never got back until later in the evening when most the local shops were closed we never had a problem getting parking." source Hotels.com

    "Exceptionally pleasant and clean room, exceptionally friendly staff." source Priceline

    "Chose this hotel from internet opinions and so glad we did, clean, friendly, helpful service, very hawaiian like decor in the lobby we will go back." source Travelocity

    "The room was comfortable and clean; we were on the 2nd floor above the swimming pool which was nice." source Expedia

  • Service: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "Friendly staff and location was extremely convenient." source Hotels.com

    "Convenient location and helpful staff." source Priceline

    "It's an old hotel building but nice and friendly staff." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 4.2 out of 5

    "It's location to downtown Kona is nice, but Kona is small that it would be worth it to pay a few bucks more if you are staying for awhile." source Hotels.com

    "Very close to downtown Kona (great restaurants and shops) - I walked there in about three minutes." source Priceline

    "The mini fridge is located in the closet area, but honestly was big enough to hold all the fruit from the farmer's market and our morning necessities." source Travelocity

    "The hotel was located a centralized location for shopping, dinning, sight seeing, and getting to know the "real" locals." source Expedia

    "But the shops and the ocean side to walk and look at the different shops were great a little expensive, but the eating area was wonderful." source Hotels.com

  • Value: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Reasonably priced rooms with a great location; minimal amenities but is clean and has the basics." source Hotels.com

    "Can not beat the location for the price." source Priceline

    "Three ladies traveling together found that hard to deal with." source Travelocity

    "Mid cost hotel, would be advisable to include parking with the room." source Expedia
