Honestly, we didn’t want to leave this place, it felt like home from the moment we arrived. The room is huge, with plenty of space and a cozy living area where you can truly relax. Everything was immaculate. The property is beautifully maintained, with a pool and a lovely terrace where you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast. We didn’t have much time to get to know the owners since they were out of town for most of our stay, but the few interactions we had were warm and friendly. The location is perfect. The property is in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood just 10–15 minutes from downtown Hilo. At first, we were unsure about not being right in the city center, but honestly, you wouldn’t want to be once you see this place. It offers the best of both worlds: tranquility and easy access to town.

Brian and his wife were amazing hosts providing us with lots of ideas and tips re what to do. Breakfast was amazing (can basically have anything you’d like!), provided a beautiful fruit plate, juice, tea/coffee. The macadamia and coconut pancakes were amazing. Everything is there for you for a great stay - beach towels, binoculars and headlamps for visiting the volcano, umbrellas, boogie boards, snacks, fresh fruit… you name it - nothing is a problem!

Beautifully recently updated former oldest hotel in Hilo. Great value, superb customer service, spare but very nicely minimally decorated king room with local woodwork and wall art, gorgeous entryway and lobby area, free coffee and tea 24/7, beautiful pool. Yes, some airport noise and parking on street or in free lot around the corner. But we will definitely stay here again when we return to Hilo in 2027.

It was an excellent room. We had the king with private bathroom. Small problem getting the tv working but it was settled quickly. The staff was very helpful. Has a full kitchen and dining area that we did not know about that was a big plus. We would be happy to stay there again next time.

We book the property due to a tour we have to join around Hilo. We did not have any high expectation but this place was really nice. The room is basic, but clean. I like the fact that you can open the windows to get more of fresh air when needed. The staff are really nice. The location is close to a lagoon which is a nice sight. The lobby is breezy and relaxing!

The room was spacious, the private bathroom was beautiful. Large shower, double vanity sinks. The room and house were very clean. There was a small comfortable setting room and a very nice Lanai. There were two spacious closets. A large flat-screen TV with good reception. The owner was very gracious. The guest parking was at the front door, very convenient. The location is close to town, a plus.
