We chose the Gardenia room for the first and last nights of our Hawaii trip due to its proximity to the airport. Although we were only minutes away from KOA, it felt like we were in the heart of Hawaii thanks to the lush, garden-like courtyard and porch with an ocean view, albeit over the rooftop of a neighboring house. The nearby street is a bit busy at times during the day, but traffic noise wasn’t a problem. We thoroughly enjoyed the porch where we listened to a multitude of birds while drinking our morning coffee and, later in the day, while watching the sunset. The room was clean and well-appointed with everything we needed including coffee and dishes as well as sunscreen , beach towels, insect repellant, and additional thoughtful items. We would definitely stay here again for the convenient location and the ambiance.
