This was a great place to stay in Kona. it's obvious the building is old, but the owner has done a great job keeping it nice. communication with the owner was very good. it's obvious she wants everyone to have a good time. there were plenty of towels and sheets, sunscreen and other essentials, including pots and pans available. They have a small assortment of books including the ultimate guide to The Big Island which I had purchased two days before going to the island. so if you're looking for that book don't buy one, just book this place. very happy with our stay here and we will stay again if we ever come back
