Our stay was truly exceptional,with a fantastic location, impeccable attention to detail, and a genuinely warm welcome. I do have one suggestion: considering adding Rubens Mexican to your recommened dining options, as it is a Hilo institution since1979. We actually made a special trip to Hilo to bring back a large order, and I highly recommend it to future guest. Mahalo for hosting us and we will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place.

The best place to stay in Hilo!

My partner and I loved staying here when we traveled through Hilo. The surrounding area is really nice to walk around, and the interiors are absolutely beautiful. The host was extremely accommodating to fulfill my last minute request to stay here, and was very communicative through the entire process. The use of the washer/dryer facility was a bonus, as we had been traveling and doing lots of hiking which meant we did a load while we stayed there for the night. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
