This Hotel is quite old, it needs an update. The rooms were huge, but had very little furniture so it was mostly empty. It had some really old wallpaper from the 90s or older and it was starting to peel in most corners. It looked and felt old. On the other side, it was clean, I wiped my finger on the furniture and there was little to no dust on either the desk or the bed frame. The bed was comfy enough, I've slept on worse. The shower had good pressure and the towels were pretty soft and clean. We had a great view of coconut island, which was fun to wake up and see every morning. The breakfast was a joke, it was a pot of oatmeal and bread. We got it for free with our room, but there was a fee if you did want it. We ate it the first day then skipped it the rest. Food was centered around the expensive steak house that was inside the hotel, so if you wanted a breakfast buffet, it would set you back even more. The location was great, 10 minutes from the Airport & Seaport; about 5 minutes away from downtown Hilo. Parking was free and pretty full on the weekend, but had plenty of parking during the week in their garage. I think if they invested in some new furniture and paint, this place would truly earn it's title of best place in Hilo, that they've won for like the last 5 years. Compared to other hotels in the area, I have no idea, so the others could be a lot worse.
