Easy access from the airport in the heart of Kailua. The minute we entered into the lobby we were welcomed with cozy lounging areas, beautifully decorated walls with Hawaiian quilts, beautiful flower arrangements and artifacts. The hotel is centrally located with astounding views of the ocean as well as the mountain. Surprisingly, the downtown traffic was not a distraction, it... more

I wasn't expecting much after reading some previous reviews, but it wasn't too bad. I had a room on the top floor of the "Tower Block" The whole hotel seems quite old, the room was a bit of a step back in time, it did have a king size bed though. Quite a nice view from the lanai, there was... more

We stayed at the Kona Seaside in early June and it was perfect for us. The rooms were clean, the staff friendly and helpful, they have 2 pools and a lush green lawn with a tropical garden.You can walk down steps at the back of the hotel that leads straight out to a big shopping and market type area and... more

Kona Seaside Hotel is OK if you're just looking for a place to hang your hat. Our room was very clean and spacious, overlooking a pool and the strip mall across the street.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel for 28 nights. We stayed in the deluxe room on the 5th floor of the tower. It was very clean, hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great for any excursions at the pier, catching the free open air trolley at the King Kam across the street, snorkleing, walking... more

We stayed at the Kona Seaside Inn October of 2006. Sorry I am just getting around to reviewing it. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if my husband happens to qualify for the race another time. It was clean although very dated. Our carpet was blue shag and I think the walls were painted cinder blocks. We were... more
