"We had the ocean view room on the second floor. It was newly renovated, with a beautiful private bathroom and beautiful wood work throughout. We were a bit spoiled when we were there, since there were no other guests on our floor during our stay. The kitchen and living room were spacious and well equipped, and Josh was always there to help us if we needed it. We would definitely stay here in the future"

"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 Reeds Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super nice and room was spacious even though there was no ac it was still breezy when we slept at night"

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We were situated in the older tower, but had a great view of bay. It was more difficult to find and navigate to hotel restaurant due to lack of any signage, and that our more obvious route was outside. Hilo is, after all, the rainiest city on the planet. Took us a wet try, and getting info to "maze" back to the older tower from restaurant staff. We suggest better signage, or info in room. The restaurant staff was okay...clearly overworked and understaffed. Front desk was adequate, but did exude the "Aloha Spirit". The older tower, although clean and sufficient, could use fresh paint, and new carpet in halls. The location and view, and lack of very many alternatives left this hotel as a good, and sufficient choice. Rooms were roomy, and beds/pillows/linen comfy."

Amazing Ocean & Park Views - Pool & AC

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time on the Big Island and this well-equipped property provided a great base to explore and enjoy all Hawai’i has to offer. Communications with the manager were very good, the beds were very comfortable, the apartment is well appointed and quiet. A big plus are the outside balconies overlooking the park, which provided a beautiful place for morning coffee and afternoon drinks."
