"The staff were so nice, with so much aloha! We have never met nicer staff. But the property is definitely older, and apparently scheduled to be torn down, something to do with the land lease not being renewed & plans for a marina in this location. Our room on 1st floor was spotlessly clean, with many nice little touches by caring staff, pretty folded towels, and our room included a small fridge with a freezer. The room is older — painted cement blocks — think college dorm room. The sliding glass door on first floor to our lanai did not lock or even latch. And — there was no AC. There was a ceiling fan, & a nice big room fan. But no window except the sliding glass door, which we kept shut all night, & put things in front of, for security, with many homeless in the nearby park. It was hot & humid & miserable all night. I think if we could have had an open window, it might have helped. If you know what you are getting — painted cement block walls like a college dorm room, & no AC, only fans, & no way to leave a window open on first floor, & no elevator & no ramp even to wheel up luggage — but absolutely wonderful staff & spotlessly clean — including a tiny kitchenette — you can make a better decision. Perhaps 2nd floor rooms would be better. It wasn’t for us. But Aloha, to the wonderful staff … "

"Wonderful hotel! Welcoming, friendly, clean, good bed, wonderful view! The extra money for the ocean view with the view of Mauna Kea over the harbor is totally worth it. We enjoyed sitting on our lanai & watching the fishermen down below, & the sailboats & canoes, & even the freighters. Enjoy! "

"Nice hotel, close to Volcano National Park. Comfortable room, but fairly basic. Excellent, friendly staff and the food was excellent for dinner. Includes a free breakfast too. Had a hottub and a really nice hiking trail. Overall, great place to stay while visiting the park and would go back."

"Staff were very friendly and helpful. The coffee is the lobby was delicious and always available."

"If you like quiet, remote and clean with friendly hosts- this is your place. The bed was super comfortable. The stars can be vividly seen at night and the coqi frogs lull you to sleep. The outdoor shower is awesome. Glen and Lisa were very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. You can’t beat the accommodations for the price. "

"Staff was great across the board - everyone helpful and nice! We were there during Merrie Monarch. Shopping the vendors at hotel was good too. Mahalo nui!"

"Location great. Clean room but carpet stains everywhere. Bathroom sink meant for a 6 ft person. Needs updates. Not worth almost $200/night. "

"Very convenient location.self check in. No reception."

"The house was clean; beds and pillows were comfortable; host was fabulous - communicated very well, helpful with local information; while there were homes close you could not hear or see them, very "peace"-ful area; out of town Hilo, but not far; Foodland & Safeway is Kroger(midwest); kitchen and frig well stocked; the observation loft was too scary for us to venture up; the grill and fire pit were wonderful; enjoyed the back deck daily. Frogs of all sizes were vocal at night which was nice and visible during the day. The feral cats added a nice home feel to the property. The fans in the rooms were great. Full sized Washer and Dryer worked great. Supplies were very helpful in kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and for water activities. There are family games which was nice to fill in down time. Only suggestion would be to manicure and add rock to the driveway but it was early in the season with spring growth. We cannot say enough great things about this host, Jenny. Very friendly, texts to check on things but leaves you alone to not feel "watched", but gives comfort that she is available when needed. 30 minutes from Volcano National Park and everything in Hilo. 2.5 hours from Kona (scenic route); almost 3 hours from Waimea. There is a "Cafe" on the SR going toward Hilo, right after you turn right onto the main road - very inviting. Farmers markets are not great this time of year because everything is starting to grow. Go to Phoenix Coffee, ABC for souvenirs, & Hapuna Beach."
