Book a hotel near University of Hawaii at Hilo Botanical Gardens, Hilo

"Ants and coakroaches in the room. Mould and AC leaking. Wet carpet. Microwave not working. Toileteries missing and not replenished. Rooms were not serviced for towels and replishment. Service was poor. Ac door was vibrating when you set fan at high speed and vents were blocked with dirt. We changed 3 rooms 650/210/810 and all room had issue. Not worth money they charged for the trip. We even couldnt sleep 4 nights we stayed there."

"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."

"A little bit old but you have everything you need"

"Great location and clean. Will definitely stay there again. "

"Very clean and well taken care of VRBO. We booked this last minute as our other VRBO cancelled on us due to an emergency a few days before our stay. Easy check in and check out and host was easy to communicate with. In a great part of town for visiting attractions around Hilo. We were in close proximity to Rainbow Falls, tour groups for Mauna Kea and the botanical garden (which was amazing). Plenty of food/stores nearby as well. Beach is a short drive and fun to watch surfers at! It is on the bottom floor of a building though and the upstairs group was a little loud but that’s not the hosts fault. But if you’re looking for a completely quiet place be aware that there are people upstairs above the VRBO. Overall a wonderful stay and we were very happy! "

"This room was perfect for my stay in Hilo. It was clean and had all the amenities I needed. It was also a very quiet area but one would need a car for getting around as there was really no way to walk to stores/food etc, I had to rely on others in my reunion group to pick me up(which worked out OK! I would certainly stay here again(can't beat the price)!"
