"Good"

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Microwave oven needs to be rented as 5$ per day"

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Our room unfortunately has little ants crawling around in the bathtub and bar area. Our carpet was also stained. The restaurant was good and had happy hour. We definitely utilized the complementary drinks. Staff and valet were very helpful. The gift shop was closed due to construction or something."

Arnott's Lodge

8/10 Good

"Very nice stay room was clean and I loved the kitchen. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was no TV ...but that's probably a plus to some. Ocean is a 5 minute walk.. beautiful property 🏝️"

Hilo Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and wonderful, quiet and clean room."

The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls

8/10 Good

"Flies in the barn was an extreme nuisance. Uncut grass from cabin 5 to the barn was annoying. The falls was a amazing. However, be extremely careful if you take the short hike because the uneven rocks is a challenge especially if it rain (9 out 10 times it'll rain). Despite that, Jordan, Abby, & Cady (not in order) was top of line from hospitality, interaction, professionalism, tidiness, etc. & they wasn't ugly :-)"

Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"Gracious Host, great location, comfortable bed, Clean set-up. Quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend."

SCP Hilo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is great, room was clean and they have access to a laundry room. There are fees for the laundry room, but it can be very convenient. The best part of this hotel is how nice the staff is and how welcoming they are."
