Uncle Billy's is Alright.
This hotel is getting run down, but the staff are SO nice, and it has a nice location right on the bay, and close to the airport that fit our agenda perfectly. The complimentary breakfast is above average for what you would usually expect, and the woman who oversees it does a wonderful job. We were delighted to see several mongoose darting about the gardens. There is even a small swimming pool.Room had refrigerator. Overall good and priced fairly.

Good value and location
One of the most reasonably priced places to stay in the vicinity of Volcanoes National Park. Good location; 5 minutes from Hilo International Airport and about 30-40 minutes to Volcanoes National Park. Amenities are sparse, and it's not the cleanest hotel I've stayed in. Continental breakfast is pretty bare-bones. For folks like my wife and I, who were up and out at 6 AM each morning and back around 9 PM, it made for a completely adequate and well priced place to sleep, which is just what we needed, but nothing more.

Volcanoes National Park is a science geek's candy store. 30-40 minutes from the hotel.

Worst... hotel... ever....
You have to be kidding me. How this place remains in business is a mystery to me. It must be entirely first time guests, as the location is very close to the Hilo airport and Hilo Bay. Where to start? The "windows" to the outside are not in fact solid paned windows but rather slats that you can either open like blinds or attempt to close as far as possible. When "closed" they don't do the least bit to keep out the noise from outside. If you are a fan of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Hawaiian Night Frogs, this will not be a problem for you. If on the other hand you prefer sleep instead of the chirping of frogs all night you will be sorely disappointed by staying here. Next comes the air conditioners. One second it hums away quickly enough, then the next second it jacks into high gear and it's as if you are a spectator at a NASCAR race. How about the beds. The linens were not blatantly dirty but I certainly didn't feel like I was sleeping on a clean bed and my wife was disgusted. On our stay, we were the lucky recipients of a room with a door to an adjacent room where someone proceeded to turn the lights on and off repeatedly for hours. The bathrooms were acceptable and clean. The hotel staff was very friendly. As mentioned, the location is good. However there is another hotel next door that was I think $5 cheaper and I can't imagine it could be nearly as bad as this place. It almost ruined our honeymoon, as we barely slept at all and it caused my wife to get extremely upset with me for not paying attention to all of the terrible reviews. Don't make the same mistake I made. I would have rather stayed in our hotel in Kona for $100 more per night and woken at 3:30am to drive to Hilo to make our 8am flight. I certainly would have gotten more sleep. No amount of savings was worth the awful experience we had here.

The Per
what I expected and needed
This hotel was what I needed for a one-night stopover in Hilo. Nice staff, laundry facilities on site, A/C wall units in room, and overall the room was well-cleaned, despite everything needing an upgrade. Hotel is close to the Hilo Airport and on Banyan Drive. Shop next door if you need quick food, beverage or laundry detergent.
