"Family friendly property with nice pool that has view of the bay. Large restaurant on lobby floor with nice view. Easy walk to the adjacent park. One thing I found odd was that it was a double bed room but only had one set of towels, I had to request more. Overall nice stay."

"What a great hotel. The best Front Desk staff and the best bartender in the lobby bar! Clean room and beautiful views. What else do you want. Oh ya Hilton points! Haha oh wait the morning coffee is no longer in the lobby where it’s convenient, and not down at the service desk a few miles away!"

Hilo is a great little town - lots of variety. Handful of locations were closed or closing due to COVID19 but we lucked out with food options - kens pancakes, pineapples, and Ocean sushi (so good). Will be coming back ;)
