I really enjoyed the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel. It’s an older hotel that’s being taken care of and has that old Hawaiian charm. The restaurant was excellent. Never had the continental breakfast, we always ate in the restaurant. Didn’t look like much though. Stay on the 4th floor and up on the coconut island side.
