Pros
The staff are very friendly. Very much a cooperative spirit throughout the hospital. Lots of travelers here.There is a dedicated Facebook page, KCH Travelers, to help you find transportation and lodging nearby.
Cons
Minimal public transport--not really feasible for hospital shift hours. KCH is somewhat remote...At least a 10 mile drive from the main part of Kona to the hospital. Ten miles might not sound like a lot, but the road is mostly one lane in either direction and can get very congested in points. I'm staying in a 2-room efficiency apartment which is, in my view, sadly lacking amenities that I have had to purchase and I will leave behind for the next person.
