It is like a time machine back to the 80's going to this hotel room. Dated decor, dated amenities and in need of an overhaul. That being said, the price is great and the location is amazing. The...

Ideal location if you want to be on the dry-west coast of Big Island. The ocean front rooms are nice, and the private laguna is a good each solution at 5 mins from your hotel room. But neither...
