Wonderful

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.
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.
Staff are welcoming and helpful. We arrived at 8 pm and I was struggling with the key lockbox on our room since we were arriving after hours. Thankfully, a staff woman was still present at the front desk and helped us get into our room. She was so nice it was a relief after 13 hours of traveling from Boston. Beautiful grounds and garden. Rooms are clean and near but old school - 70’s vibe, quaint. The coqui frogs at night can be loud but we have peepers in Maine in the spring and summer so we’re used to the noise. Felt like home in the summer. The only downside is the lack of soundproofing between rooms. You can hear the person in the next room coughing so just be aware they can hear you too. Neighborhood is mixed - some rough looking places but just use street smarts due to Hilo’s prevalent homeless population. Overall would recommend mainly due to the welcoming staff and motel cats. :)
My stay was excellent…property is a little older, but cleaner than anywhere I’ve stayed before. The Staff is very friendly…would definitely stay here again.
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.
Sitting at the picnic table with my morning coffee, watching the sunrise over the lush hotel garden! Yesterday, walked 10 minutes to downtown, had breakfast at Booch Bar, then 3 more blocks to farmers market. Near market is the island public transportation stop (Hele on). Perfect location. Clean and quiet (except for all the birds and nighttime frogs!) Kitchen in room is a wonderful bonus.
Clean! Clean! Clean! Also, very walkable, reasonably priced, includes kitchen, quick breakfast, wonderful staff, and beautiful tropical views.

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.
Fantastic property! Check-in great. Friendly, professional staff. Hotel has more amenities in the room than many "fancier" (and more expensive ) hotels we've stayed at.
HIGHLY recommend. We'll come back. Thank you!
