Uncle Billy's Kona Bay Hotel

You get what you pay for

Positiv: Great location, low cost for our last night in Hawaii. Front desk staff were nice and helpful. Management say a renovation is planned.

Negativ: Got two doubles instead of king bed we paid for. Arrived late in Kona and had to leave early for flight, so there was no time to change rooms — it was very uncomfortable night for two in tiny bed. Bathroom had awful smell. We're normally easygoing guests with few needs, but this was beyond the pale. Stay here only if you must, or else wait until after renovation (if it happens).

Positiv: Rooms were dirty Beds were old and uncomfortable Continental breakfast was a joke

Run down, should be condemned

Positiv: Location is good, right on Ali'i drive

Negativ: Our hotel room was on the ground floor, as soon as you enter the room it smells like mildew and wet carpet. The sink in the bathroom did not drain, there was a broken tile in the shower, there were roaches - both big and small, the lanai doors and the bathroom doors were unable to close or lock properly. Unfortunately this was the ONLY hotel available (for obvious reasons). Uncle Billy's is like a landmark, it's been here forever but it needs a serious renovation - will NEVER stay here again, we'd be better off camping

Very outdated

Positiv: I liked the location of the hotel it was in a great spot for all the shops and restaurants.

Negativ: The hotel was very outdated. Very low quality just a very cheap and old building that could be very beautiful if they would spend the money to update it. Also the "breakfast" was literally just toast. For over 100$ a night you could at least feed us in the morning.

Positiv: Personal was very family.

Negativ: Room wasn't ready . Checked in about 3:30 was told room is not ready to come back in 1 hour.

Positiv: Staff helpful and professional Love the feeling there, plants, flowers, old style Parking is good.

Negativ: Rooms desperately need renovating.
