We always chose Holiday Inn whenever possible during travels. This was a great surprise to find Holiday Inn on Big Island. Great location. Even though it’s not directly on a beach, it was just 10 minutes walk. In fact all shops and restaurants were on the same street along the ocean side and it was 10 minutes away. Rooms were always clean and the property was well kept. Complimentary breakfast is a huge plus. Every morning there were eggs, bacon or sausages, juices, coffees, pancakes, toasts, muffins, yogurts, cereals and more. It was always a great meal before we explored the island every day.You will not be disappointed in the location and price. In fact it was 15 minutes from the airport. The famous luau at the King’s resort is also 10 minutes walk, so drink as much as you want since no driving is needed. We love being out and exploring, had a rental for all our travels. We were so appreciative of the stuff to let us store our suitcases downstairs after later checkout because our flight was later in the evening. We spent our last hours on the beach and walking around the area while waiting for our time to leave. We were offered a shower and fresh towels before we left at the pool area, which was great after the last minutes at the beach before the flight. Highly recommend this location!

This was our 3rd stay at your hotel. We were very disappointed that we were not informed about the remodeling of your hotel. I’m sure it’ll be wonderful once it is completed however we were quite surprised that things we were accustomed to being able to use and access weren’t available. Our room wasn’t ready and we were offered another BUT at a higher price. Since we were missing out on things we were paying for it was disappointing that we couldn’t get another room for less. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and very welcoming. I’m very sad to give a disappointing experience review this time.

Very dirty property, around homeless population, not safe for kids. Beach dirty. Staff not friendly especially lady at the kitchen was rude. They cut out towels supplies. First we had 4 of each for 2 queen beds room, later ended up to 2 of each like for couple. We stayed 7 nights and they never changed our linens. Carpet old and was stinky. Air conditioner didn’t work properly, all the time had condensate leaking from the ceiling. Only front desk people provided good customer service.

The start was a little upsetting - We arrived 20min earlier than check-in time, but tried to check in and then were put through a room. This was great. But the room wasn't ocean view, although we booked it. So we came back to the check-in counter and told it to the staff who dealt with us then he said he didn't know we had reserved ocean-view room. He then put us back to unchecked and asked us to wait for a room to be ready, which was OK, but his behaviors clearly looked unhappy which was unpleasant and disappointing to me. Actually it seems he was a staff to work before the check-in time, so he just may not be familiar., and the lady who came in later and is probably the person to deal with check-ins let us re-check in and put us to an ocean view room. One more thing is that the toilet flushing stopped functioning in the next morning. It was fixed upon our request while we were having a breakfast but it was inconvenient at first of a day. Except for these, the room is clean and spacious. The room reminded me of a hotel room in the US mainland I have often used during a business trip. It was an ocean-view room, but it doesn't provide a clear view of the ocean actually.
