I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying its convenience and friendly atmosphere. The location was great for exploring nearby attractions and dining options, which I really appreciated. The rooms were clean, albeit a bit small and dated, but the common areas helped to offset that. While the service was generally good, there was a small hiccup when our room wasn’t serviced one day. Overall, it felt like a good deal for the location.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, especially for early flights at Hilo airport. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. However, the rooms were quite small and minimally furnished, which wasn't ideal. Also, the dining options were limited and could definitely use some variety.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, thanks to its excellent location just a stone's throw from the airport and beautiful parks. The staff treated me like family, which was lovely! However, I was a bit disappointed with the room's lack of a view, and I found it to be a little dark. Overall, it was a good value for the price, but there's definitely room for improvement in the rooms.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location was super convenient for exploring the area and getting to Volcano National Park, I did have a few issues. The room felt cramped and wasn't serviced one day, which wasn't ideal. Plus, the dining experience left a bit to be desired. However, for the most part, I felt I got good value for my money.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, plus the friendly staff really made a difference.

The rooms were clean, but quite small and a bit dated, yet the common areas really helped elevate the experience.
