I stayed there 2nights+2nights with my mother. I think hotel prices are high in the big island . I guess the Seaside is reasonable and gives you good impression for what you pay for. Nice, clean and comfortable room, and we both liked the turquoize floor. Mostly accessible to anywhere around KONA area. more

The Kona Seaside was a great experience. The staff were friendly and eager to accommodate us in a move from a double double room to a king, with no extra charge for cleaning. It is an older hotel and parking can be a little difficult, but it's location right across the street from the Kailua Pier is unbeatable. The $2... more

We stayed at the Kona Seaside Hotel for a one night stopover as part of a trip around the Big Island. The room was fairly basic but it was clean and quiet enough for us to sleep. The location is pretty ideal for Kona as it is very close to the waterfront but not actually on the seaside road itself,... more

The Big Island doesn't seem to have gone through the huge "hotel renovation" phase that Kauai went through. As such, all of the lower priced hotels (relatively speaking of course, I paid about $20 more a night here than in Kauai, for a much lower quality hotel) are very old. The wing of the hotel I stayed in, right above... more

The staff at the property were helpful in an honest way and not just because they are told to be. The rooms are clean, simple and filled our needs adequately. Location is great and easy to get to from any direction. We will return if visiting Kona again. more

Stay for the weekend to have family reunion. Staff there was very nice, room was very big, our stay there was very good. Even though the pool closed at 6pm the kids went walking in Kona town. A lot of places to eat at around the hotel. As for parking, the parking lot is small hopefully you don't rent a... more

The beds weren't really to my taste (jammed up next to the window isn't great if the sun comes up and there is more sleeping to do, or jammed up against a wall and had to climb off the end), the pools close at 6pm, which is when we wanted them, the ice machine closes at 5:30, the front desk... more

Great rates, no-frills hotel, lots of "local" employees and guests. No pretentious wannabee transplants trying to "represent". If you want luxury and wish to be pampered, go somewhere else and pay their high prices. If you just need a comfortable and clean place to stay, try this hotel. It's definitely from another era.. is that so bad? Restaurants on site... more

If the most important goal is to get a good night's sleep so that you're assured to have a great next day given it's your precious vacation time, you will not get it here. Note: I am a heavy sleeper. I stayed here on two separate weekends, on both the front and rear side of the building, upper and lower... more

This hotel was very outdated and dark , but clean and in a great location. The outside gardens were very nice. The best thing was the price-we paid $79 for the night. It is a good place if you are looking for a deal, and are not spending much time in the room. We went to the restaurant for breakfast.... more
