The grounds were lovely, with an exquisite garden. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was close to the center of town and I would definitely recommend the hotel.

The hotel is super cute and retro but clean, with a great surrounding garden. Staff was amazing!

10/10

Very nice property just outside the Hilo downtown. Lots of walkable restaurants, bars and shops, and very friendly staff willing to help you out with just about anything you need during your stay.

10/10

Older hotel tucked away in a neighborhood, but we had a very comfortable stay. We hit Walmart for some groceries since the rooms have full kitchens, and we loved the banana bread and papaya in the lobby for breakfast. The office cat was a bonus too. They also have books and games to borrow. Convenient to downtown, UH-Hilo, and not far from the beaches.

Driving through the neighborhood to the hotel I was thinking we made a bad call, but once we walked in the room and I checked for cleanliness (the bud bug check, always), I think it's a nice, albeit retro, place. The office staff was very friendly and accomodating. There was fresh coffee early every morning, with delicious banana bread and tropical fruit. The shower was wonderful and the room felt very clean. I'd recommend!

Convenient location to Hilo, walkable. No AC which didn’t bother us because it wasn’t hot. Mattress was not good for my chronic back problem. Shower was great. Plenty of off street parking.

Kelly was so welcoming and allowed us to check in early and provuded us with a lovely room. Delicious fresh fruit and bannana bread in the morning was a big plus. Would definitely stay again.

Staff was friendly. Room layout could have been better and kitchen was pretty small for hosting 5 or 6 people. Needs some upgrades. One complaint was bed linens. They did not smell clean as if they had not been changed from previous guests.

Not a fancy place, but the staff are amazing - they know the island, and can always guide you to interesting places/events. 12 out of 10 for the friendly, knowledgeable staff

Neighborhood is a little questionable. Some possible homelessness. Staff are kind and attentive. The building has maintained a sense of culture. Coffee banana bread and a whole papaya for breakfast was appreciated. Appliances are old but functional. Noise carries but it's ok because it's part of the experience.
