Excellent Budget accommodations.
Excellent Budget accommodations. Freshly renovated, VERY clean, has all the amenities you need and are mentioned in the listing. Photos are very accurate, the room is even more spacious than the pictures make it look. Loved our stay there. Everything worked properly, shower, AC, Internet. Towels are very soft. Don’t forget that you are close to the airport (advantage) but occasionally, at night, you could hear an airplane landing. You can walk to several beaches nearby. But I recommend a car to see all that Big Island has to offer. Parking is available in front of the accommodations and free. There are restaurants not too far away, a Walmart. If you like Thai food try Nim's Chiang Mai Thai cuisine, they have a Tom Kha soup to die for. Just enjoy your stay in Hilo.
