Mike was a great host and gave us easy ideas about entertaining kids. Also directions to find food and other services nearby. The place is like a dormitory, no frills, but everything you need for preparing you own food and getting a good nights rest. It’s an older lodge but everything was sparkling clean and well-maintained. I’d recommend it to friends.

Arnott's Lodge was a good place to spend the night. We were not at the hotel long as we had a start gazing tour and returned late and woke early in the morning for sunrise and then drive back to Kona.

Amazing! But you may want to include that your rooms do not have TVs. No in room television, only a common "tv room" that is open 24hrs.

The property is lovely, and the staff are hospitable. But the nearby airport noise was to much to take, only got an hour of sleep.

This is a property well suited for campers and backpackers, who seem to be their target clientele. It offers yard space for pitching a tent, plus outdoor showers and toilets for them. I had a one bedroom suite with living room, kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom. Very clean but dated furnishings and decor. Not even a single TV in the place. Never encountered that before. And very limited amenities in the bathroom. No facial tissues, one tiny bar of soap that disintegrated the first shower, left me using liquid hand soap to shower with the second day, and I ran out of toilet paper. At check-in, I was told the trash would be removed from my room daily. That didn’t happen for me. My biggest issue is location. There is nothing to walk to from the property except a seaside park. Shopping and dining are a ride away. Unless you’re fine walking a couple miles to go eat.
