"This was amazing! Great staff, great location AND there's even a swimming hole (5 min walk, if that) with a waterfall! I've never stayed in a shared house before, but this one has spoiled me! It's close enough to be able to drive to all the good tourist spots. Oh, and hopefully you're there for the "big" farmers market on Saturdays. If I get back to the Big Island I'll be coming back here! Thank you for the great time!"

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

6/10 Okay

"It was ok. Not really what I was expecting for the area but room was tiny, untidy, and ac made a lot of noise. Front desk agent was snippy, rating at best was mediocre, it was a place to sleep for a visit."

SCP Hilo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Older hotel, but very nicely maintained. Beautiful pool area and easy walk to a large number of excellent restaurants, park areas, and the bay. Room faced the front of the property and had a great view. Very eco friendly and offered free equipment use for paddle boarding in the bay across the street. As the building is quite old, some of the upper floors are likely not easily accessible if you have mobility issues, but the first floor rooms would be great. In room air conditioning worked well and the ceiling fan was excellent to keep the room comfortable. Had a small balcony with 2 chairs, but was big enough for 4 people to stand at the railing and enjoy the morning sun rise."

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My nephew Derek Adan loved it. He said it was close to everything and looks foward to staying there again."

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good value budget hotel right on the bay in Hilo. The property is quite old, showing wear but room was clean, comfortable with fresh towels, shampoo etc, all the basics you need. It's classic old school ceiling fan and air vents rather than AC. There is occassion airport noise. Hilos airport is close to town so you can hear it as many locations, but airport isnt that busy. The hotel is not flashy at all but good value for those on budget given location. My rooms balcony directly overlooked shoreline."

Stunning Views Best Locale Hilo 2BRCondo

8/10 Good

"The property was very nice. Great location. The only issue was the laundry room and the dryers not drying your clothes. The tv service was spotty which I think was due to unstable internet. Only one person in our party wanted a functional tv so he was unhappy with that. Everything else was perfect."

Amazing Ocean & Park Views - Pool & AC

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed a Hilo Lagoon Center numerous times the last 4 years. Several days before our arrival we were advised by our host that maintainance on the A/C for the building would be taking place while we were there. We do not come from a humid or hot climate so A/C is a must for us in Hilo. Our host offered to have extra fans in the unit for us. This unit also has ceiling fans which helped out a lot. The A/C was restored before the end of our stay. The unit is a corner unit so we had an extra window too which was nice. The unit was immaculate and very light and cheerful. Everything worked and I would stay there again. The building itself seemed a little more run down this visit."
