The staff here tried to make sure that you had the best time possible while in Hilo and really made you want to come back to visit. I enjoyed every time that I bumped into them and knew that I was gettting an honest answer when I was asking them about what they thought of the things I had planned... More

The hotel is reasonably priced and very close to the airport, the room was clean. The carpet in the room made me nostalgic for the 1960s turquoise sea green carpet in my parent's basement. The rooms were tired and the beds were uncomfortable. The light for the bathroom also turned on the room light so if you got up in... More

didn't really enjoy my stay here because the hotel disappointed in more ways than one. the rooms are not sound-proof so you could here people from the adjacent rooms talking! the windows are window panes facing the corridor, so you could hear people walking past. felt uncomfortable about the lack of privacy. some power plugs in my room were also...

Don't miss snokeling with the turtles at the park beside Richardson Park. It is the parking area right before you get to Richardson Park. I have... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in November 2011. People on reception very friendly. The bed was really, really comfortable. There was AC unit fitted in the window but I did not use this – had the windows open and ceiling fan on. Room was nice and clean. Coffee maker and small fridge in the room. There is a well equipped,... More

As others have written, this is not the 5 star Hawaii resort experience, but it is a very good value for money kind of place. If you can get a room overlooking the bay (vs. one facing into the back parking lot) it's a fabulous view, well worth the price. Room includes a free breakfast at Coconut Restaurant, in same... More
