i stayed here twice, once in sept 07 and in mar 08. this time i got an ocean view room (worth every penny). very clean. friendly people. great food in the restaurant.

Love the views, the people, all good. Wish there was a n option to have a ceiling fan on in the rooms rather than air conditioning.

While the hotel is older and the exterior gives the impression of a shabbier place, the inside is up to date and efficient. The rooms are very large (rare in most cases), the atmosphere is relaxed, the staff is extremely helpful.
We had a view of Hilo Bay from the 8th floor & it was beautiful. The hotel grounds are great (banyan trees, fish ...

Everything was fine except the odor and the maid I told about the odor. When the doors were closed, the room quickly and powerfully smelled like fried eggs. I finally discovered that the odor came from the vinyl drapes. When a maid came in to clean, I nicely mentioned it to her, and she rudely told me that it was impossible since the drapes had ...

We were at the Hilo Hawaiian for two nights, Oct 16-17, 2007. Our room looked out to the ocean and a couple of times were saw cruise ships go right past, my kids loved it!

One day a Hilton, Mariott, or other national chain will set up ...

My husband and I stayed one night and had breakfast there. The room was large and clean. Breakfast was average. We enjoyed the views and the park next door. Yes we would go back.

This was our last stop in Hawaii. This hotel is very close to the Hilo airport. It is next to the water on the bay. We had an ocean view that was beautiful. We saw a rainbow out our window in the morning. The room was standard size with two queen beds. It was clean and we were all comfortable. We had dinner at the restaurant downstairs. The ...

The location is excellent! Close to the airport (but no noisy planes), downtown, the bay and shoreline is right in front (get the ocean view...it is well worth waking up to), a beautiful park to enjoy. There is also a walking golf course (we didn't play but could see golfers enjoying their play) very close to the property. We found the open ...
