Fantastic property! Check-in great. Friendly, professional staff. Hotel has more amenities in the room than many "fancier" (and more expensive ) hotels we've stayed at. HIGHLY recommend. We'll come back. Thank you!

I appreciated this cosy comfortable apartment. It has a complete functional kitchen, sitting options, and a lanai with a garden view. Morning coffee and fresh banana bread was a treat. It's a short walk into town.

Staff are welcoming and helpful. We arrived at 8 pm and I was struggling with the key lockbox on our room since we were arriving after hours. Thankfully, a staff woman was still present at the front desk and helped us get into our room. She was so nice it was a relief after 13 hours of traveling from Boston. Beautiful grounds and garden. Rooms are clean and near but old school - 70’s vibe, quaint. The coqui frogs at night can be loud but we have peepers in Maine in the spring and summer so we’re used to the noise. Felt like home in the summer. The only downside is the lack of soundproofing between rooms. You can hear the person in the next room coughing so just be aware they can hear you too. Neighborhood is mixed - some rough looking places but just use street smarts due to Hilo’s prevalent homeless population. Overall would recommend mainly due to the welcoming staff and motel cats. :)

The accommodation was on ground level. Parking was very easy and close to the room door. Our family room unit was very clean and spacious with everything we needed. We even had a nice sitting area out front with all kinds of shade it was very beautiful and peaceful. The grounds were very well kept up. I will definitely stay here again when visiting Hilo. Another good thing about it is you are walking distance from the downtown area!
