I like the room that provided a queen bed and two twin beds, also with full kitchen, which were very convenient. The hotel is old styled, no AC but fans, no room card but using the key, and small rooms. The worst was no sound proof at all especially we had a neighbor who was working as customer service for mainland US and started taking calls constantly at 2am every day.

I appreciated this cosy comfortable apartment. It has a complete functional kitchen, sitting options, and a lanai with a garden view. Morning coffee and fresh banana bread was a treat. It's a short walk into town.

Coming from a big condo in Waikaloa this property was kind of a disappointment. Maybe our fault not doing better research but the NO A\C was a big no-no, although weather was not that hot. Really tiny room etc.

Dolphin stay
one night only. room was big! and tidy. Bit dated but for me that was no problem. Frogs at night outside were a pain but hey if you elect to sleep in the burbs then one needs to appreciate that will be part of the landscape

Lovely local spot for getaway weekend
This was a weekend trip with my nieces so we got a family room, which allowed for 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen, very nice, at a very affordable price. The Hotel does not have A/C but has ceiling and other fans, and is in the tropical forest so it was comfortably cool. Low key, local, very friendly. Comes with motel cats for we cat lovers. 7-10 minute walk to Hilo town and the farmers market, very convenient. Overall a great stay. I may come again with my husband for a fall weekend getaway. Also Hilo is easy to access Volcano National Park.
