The young lady (I think Mary) at the front desk was very helpful during the day. The gentleman in the evening was also helpful. The staff was very pleasant and our stay was enjoyable. The breakfast was good but would have like some yogurt that was Greek and diabetic friendly.

Property located in central Kona and a close walk to shops and grocery stores. Good breakfast for a Holiday Inn. Be aware that parking spots are a little tight if you have a van or large SUV. Washing machines and dryer onsite are a little tired and could be replaced. Took two cycles in the dryer to get the job done. Overall would definitely stay again.

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.
