I booked the room by the pool. I loved that the room, pool, and laundry were right next to each other. Made it so easy to wash and pack on my last day. Plus, the restaurant next to the hotel had the best fried rice 😋

This is a great hotel in a wonderful location! The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in answering questions. They had nice amenities including the pool, free use of bikes, and free use of stand-up paddleboards. The hotel is adjacent to the Hilo airport, so you do get noise from an occasional jet during the day and into the evening, but if you're visiting Hawaii, why on earth would you spend the day in your hotel room! There are several restaurants within easy walking distance to the hotel. Personally, I really liked Ken's House of Pancakes. (Yes, they serve dinner as well.) Both the food and the staff were great.

We loved staying here for the convenient location near U Hawaii Hilo and all the Hilo sites. It’s a great walk around Banyan Dr and the park in the morning. And there is plenty of shade for pool time later in the day once beach time is done. It’s only 7 min drive to the main shopping and dining in Hilo. Great location, clean rooms, and helpful staff!

Staff was great and very accommodating as I needed to modify my stay after checkin. Property is clean but it is a little dated (although that seems common on the Big Island). Easy to get to the national Park from this hotel. There is also a nearby park within walking distance for easy access to the ocean. Recommended for a stay in Hilo.

Basic room - property is old construction and they’ve just put in new floors and painted it. The staff is really nice, but not always the most helpful or responsive. No complaints, but also not impressed.
