Work and Play in Hilo

Location is facing Wailoa River State Recreation Area with short walk to park and across great bridges of the Wailoa River. Within walking distance of many great restaurants; Hawaiian Style Cafe, Ola Brew, Kamana Kitchen, et cetera. Enjoyed location being more kama'aina than resort style.
