Front desk staff were polite and helpful. Asked for extra blankets and the staff member was cordial and accommodating. The Wild Ginger Inn is a gem and is a pleasant stay. We have stayed here many times. We really like it.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
If I could are the hotel 0 stars, I would. The check in staff were very friendly. But….the shower faucet was a vise grip. The tile looked gross. No blanket, only 1 sheet. The windows did not close, so we heard the traffic from the highway on the backside of the hotel all night. The walls are paper thin, so we heard a screaming kid for hours. We would never stay here again.

Difficult after-hour check-in. Open door was hiding the key lock box, no instructions on how to use the room door security plus it hadn’t been set up properly according to a staff member who was staying late for another project and happily helped me out.

The sanitation is very poor, the environment is too bad, if it is not booked online, no one will find it. I looked at it, but did not stay, the environment is too bad.

Very convenient spot to swim the turtles by driving for a few minutes towards the airport, a great breakfast with fruits and homemade cakes, overall a very good deal if you enjoy staying in a vintage building with a bit reduced comfort

Location good. Good Price. Room is ok. Nice friendly staff. Cons: Only 2 towels in bathroom. Stairs too steep for seniors-should have been given room on street level. ( Was on lower level.) Ran out of food at breakfast. Was advised in advance that hot water was slow to arrive at shower but not available after running tap 5 minutes.

Did not have expectations. Needed a place to stay on short notice. Would give one more star had the price been more reasonable. The place is old and run down. Flooring peeling up, paint peeling, rooms its self is unlevel. That being said bedding, towels clean, comfortable enough beds. Would stay at hostel in town next time.

Lovely staff who were very helpful. The property was built in 1920 by the grandfather of the young lady who managed the hotel during our visit. She told us that plans are being made to refurbish the hotel. We stayed in the ocean view room where the views are stunning. The hotel does need some modenisation in some parts.

This is an old property that is a great retreat in spite of it's foibles. Three years ago when I stayed he my concern was the safety of the neighborhood. There has been a remarkable change for the better. For the price you can't beat it. The staff is wonderful.

I enjoyed my first night, so i extended my stay by two days. Don't listen to the folks who prefer a sterile "downtown" hotel experience - The Wild Ginger IS Hawai'i. Historic building, amazing staff, and the convenience of being right on the edge of downtown Hilo. Minutes from lava tubes, waterfalls, and beaches. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm on the Big Island!
