This place looks great from the outside. My first clue we had made a mistake was the worn out lobby. This was for real the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. It was dirty, old ,stained and just awful. They are remodeling parts of the hotel so maybe it will improve, but for now they should be ashamed... more

No, it isn't the prettiest hotel nor does it boast it's the best. It is what it is. An inexpensive hotel in a gorgeous location. Don't expect the Ritz and you won't be disappointed. Nice staff. more

Very disappointed with our decision to stay here. Hotel is very run down and out dated. We requested a "partial" ocean view room and paid the extra money for it. When we checked into our room we had a magnificant view of "Wal-Mart"!!!! I called down to the desk and ask why our partial ocean front room was facing Wal-Mart... more

We stayed at the KK for 10 nights from 1/10 thru 1/20 and found it to be acceptable with few hassles. The rooms were fine, the pool was super, and the location is great for walking down Ali'i drive for all the restaurants and shopping. We had an ocean view (room 404) facing the pier that provided views of luau... more

This is the dirtiest hotel we have ever stayed in. The bathroom was moldy, dirty, the toilet had pubic hair under the seat and fecal remnants in the bowl. This place should be closed down by the health department!! To top it off, we were charged $2.50 for one of the two bottles of water that came with the room.... more

I wish I had read these reviews before booking as we have just returned from a 2 week trip to the Big Island and spent two nights at the King Kam. Really, it was disgusting and the absolutely worst place we stayed at on our vacation. They really need to either fix the place up, close it down permanently or... more

I made my reservations at the hotel website. The pictures on the website show a beautiful modern room with clean carpet and nice furniture. Sadly to say, it is false advertising. The place stinks. It smells like urine and mold. The carpet in the hallways and in the room is stained and dirty. The carpet at the threshold between the... more

We have just returned from a two week trip to Hawaii, Oahu, and Maui. This hotel, one we have previously stayed in, has gone seriously downhill. If it were not for the town location, we would have chosen otherwise. The bathroom, especially, was a disgrace. The sink was actually pitted from use, the shower dirty with mildew, grout was applied... more
