The hotel is very clean, and the staffs are very friendly and helpful. It was weird that they don't have cups in the room. When the staff asked me about my stay, I told her there were no cups in the room. She told me it is for reducing waste. The attitude is more like teaching guests to learn. I paid for a comfortable stay, not for an environmental lesson, which is really annoying. She did smile to me, which almost like she is looking down on you who do not save for the environment. !_! How should I brush teeth or drink water? This really like reducing service. They provide two 800ml mason jugs for you to get free filtered water in the lobby. It was 4 minute walk from my room. After a long day, I rather stay in my room than walking 8 minutes just for water, every time. Especially the first night, I got there already exhausted and cannot find cups anywhere. Very frustrated. I pay $200 per night. No cups in the room? No coffee maker in the room. They do provide free coffee at the lobby, but it it really weak coffee, not much taste. No safe for important stuffs, like laptops. No extra power outlets. I have to unplug the TV to charge my laptop.

Pics make the property look nicer than it is. The hotel staff were kind to allow us to cancel our stay after 1 night without penalty. The 2-bed room was very small, and the beds were very soft, which made us decide to move to another hotel. The immediate vicinity is run down but not unsafe. Fitness center has free weights and 2 Peloton bikes that are in reasonably good shape.

We enjoyed out stay in Rm 231. However, we could not get solid internet connections on four of our newer Apple devices except in the pool area. A bit frustrating and probably a deal buster if we had known in advance.

Slick marketing photos hide the reality that this property is still a decades old motel with some surface, albeit lovely upgrades to lobby and pool area. Those upgrades and kind front desk staff can't completely make up for the very dated rooms, shoddy key card locks, old school shutterpane glass windows and the oh so lovely airline jets flying 100 feet overhead on approach to Hilo airport. Not saying don't stay here but I am saying know what you're buying.
