The property is lovely, and the staff are hospitable. But the nearby airport noise was to much to take, only got an hour of sleep.

Quaint, clean, affordable, convenient friendly staff. This is ideal if you need a place to sleep with the basics and not a resort experience.

comfortable property with nice shared spaces for being able to lounge around. Walkable to the beach, but you need a car to get downtown to other attractions. Staff was very friendly and responsive.

This lodge is a little outdated. Room is small. Shared kitchen is convenient. Close to Hilo airport. Very loud when plane pass by. Close to the beaches which are really good for snorkeling. Can see lots of turtles.

No pool or hot tub. There is a sweet spot on the ocean right down the street though! Walking distance too.

Convenient place to stay for a family
Very clean, quiet, and comfortable stay. Staff was really friendly. Easy check in and check out. Beach towel service was a nice perk. We had the family suite which had a full kitchen with everything one would need to prepare a meal and dine in.

Great stay in Hilo
We were staying on the west side of the island most of the time, but stayed here one night to catch an early tour from Hilo the next morning. I saw in some reviews/descriptions that surfers like to stay here, so I was a little skeptical. There were 5 of us(all adults) so they put us in a family suite, and i was VERY pleasantly surprised how nice this is and very affordable. Its not fancy, and you can tell its an old building, but everything is very well maintained, clean, and a great front desk manager who took time to show us to the room. My only criticism of the room is not very many electrical sockets and some of those were worn so that the plugs would fall out. But, if we stay in Hilo again, this will definitely be a the top of our list.

I was here for a work conference and needed a clean, safe place while spending the day at my meetings. My room was one of six in a cottage. Immaculate, everything worked fine, bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge and coffee maker, but the cottage also had a full kitchen. Other folks shared the common space and kitchen, but quiet at night.

The property is set up similar to a hostel, with common areas. It is separated from town, but close enough for easy access. I would certainly stay again.
