I was expecting the worst possible accommodations after the reviews I read about this hotel but it honestly wasn't bad. It is old, like every other hotel in Hilo, and very small but it was extremely clean and quiet. There was some weird looking empty lot at the rear of the hotel but as this was not near our room,... more

.............. I cannot believe some of the reviews on .......... on this motel (it is not a hotel), were ....... were we in a different motel or are these people standards that low? There are a NUMBER of problems with this motel, parking being the biggest, the rooms are old and out dated and smell. Many of the rooms were... more

We stayed here because it was one of the cheapest hotels in Hilo where we needed to be to visit Volcanoes Park. The hotel was less than 5 min-drive from the airport, conveniently right by the gas station and pancake place opened 24 hours. The hotel itself looks like motel but has hotel facilities.

The rooms were very clean and for the price it was just what we were looking for as far as location and amenities. The landscaping... more

This is a really nice hotel..clean with a happy staff. The owners are nice folks too. more

I stayed here as an alternative to camping outdoors in a flooded and rainy campsite. So obviously this hotel was better than sleeping there. The room was very small, outdated, but provided a room at a bargain price. I wouldn't return here again. more

So there are not many options of houseing when it comes to Hilo (volcano side of the big island) so in those terms this place was pretty good. The price was very reasonable but you do get what you pay for. The expedia pictures make this place look a little more nicer then it is. To picture it think mainland... more
