You have the first church ever built in Hawaii located here in the village. Kamehameha the Great lived here adjacent to the heiau that is in front of the Kona Beach Hotel next to the pier.
Oops, I'm getting ahead of myself. Sorry.The four cheap Kona hotels are: Kona Beach Hotel, Kona Seaside Hotel, Uncle Billy's and the Royal Kona Resort.
My favorite of the four hotels is the King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel. Those that live here call it the "King Kam." I've stayed there a couple of times over the years and thought it was a very good value for the money.
Uncle Billy's is kind of like the Motel 6 of the Pacific. Located on Alii Dr. at the corner of Hualalai Rd. It's the third furthest of the three cheap hotels from the pier.
I'm showing you a picture, telling you where the hotel is, but I am not in any way recommending it. Read some online reviews of Uncle Billy's and make make your own decision.
