    The location is just right next to the airport, beautiful next to the bay and 5 minutes drive to Hilo downtown. The room is clean and the amenities are nice and relaxing.

    No elevator. No porter to help take luggage upstairs. No breakfast. Coffee complementary in lobby but no coffee maker in room. Stairs into pool are treacherous especially for seniors. Very noisy on a busy road.

    Great location. Old Hawaii ambience. Recently refurbished. Umbrellas available. Lovely Walks on Banyan Drive and in Queen Liliuokalani Park. Nice ocean vote from front rooms.

    Baby cot (crib) was a little small and dated. Shop promised amenities but would be better described as a gift shop. Pool was very cold which made swimming with child quite difficult.

    The doors were not super solid, so as we were poolside we did hear quite a bit of noise when people were swimming late. Fortunately, most nights people were done before 10pm so not a major impact for us.

    The simplicity of the hotel, the basics like free coffee, tea and water 24/7. We loved hanging out on the lanai and the short walk to the Liliʻuokalani Gardens was great. The staff was always helpful, and we enjoyed the live music and events they offered.

    The hotel is located right next to the airport, so you can hear quite clearly the aircraft noise which is - at times - excessive. Thankfully, though, Hilo airport is rather small so there are not so many planes per day. There were some bugs in our bathroom which managed to get in through the broken window. The bathroom was relatively small and I didn't find the mattress or pillows (flat) to be very comfortable (but personal taste).

    The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was clean. There was ample parking. I really appreciated the free water, coffee, tea and other amenities. The rooms were very big and the a/c worked well. I appreciate the social responsibility aspect and approach to providing accommodation!

    a restaurant and bar at the hotel would be a plus.

    clean and comfortable room in a small hotel, had a lovely carp filled pond and turtles in the water just across the road. you need a car to get around as there are only a couple of restaurants within walking distance and nothing at the hotel, and most places seemed to close at 9pm.

    The room was adequate, but no better. Wash the duck droppings off the rocks and bridges in the Koi pond once in a while. You sit there, and at certain times of the day, it is all you see. Other than that, it is a really pretty place.

    Facilities and common areas clean and top notch. The most helpful and friendly staff I have ever encountered in 50 tears of traveling. Every one of them. These people were almost unbelievable.

    Not too much to complain about. You will hear airplanes because of the area, but that would be the same with any hotel around there. Laundry was expensive, but the washers are industrial size so you can fit a double load in.

    The absolutely most wonderful staff. Free coffee, water, tea, hot chocolate 24/7. Complementary bikes and paddleboards. Yoga and other classes available in the morning. Hotel has been recently updated. The courtyard and pool are open air, which is truly lovely. We had a great stay and will go back if in Hilo.
