We had left in the early morning. I loved the fact that we had our own space and especially our own bathroom and shower. The only downside is the fact that its on a busy street and that were a lot of loud noise from the street below. Other than that, it was comfortable & Curt was very polite and an excellent host. I would love to stay there again. Mahalo Nui Loa

    The view was great. If you can get an ocean front room on floors 6-8 you won't be disappointed with the view. The hotel was close to Mauna Kea, the Volcano National Park, the zoo, and many other attractions on the Hilo side of the Big Island. There also were many great beach parks nearby that were good for seeing fish and sea turtles. We loved the little convenience store right outside the hotel and Coconut Island.

    The bed is comfortable, and the balcony has a pretty view of the sunset in morning, it was overall a nice stay. The walls are thin so you can hear through them, but it was not an issue during our stay because the other travelers who were also renting a room were quiet and respectful.

    We felt right at home at the B&B thanks to our wonderfull hosts Brian and Tomomi. They were super helpfull and good-spirited. Breakfast was great and delicious, with plant-based options as well. Beautifull view of the ocean! Perfectly nice room and bed as well. Beach towels, equipment and day snacks were a nice bonus too! Warm contact and communication with owners as well.

    - Good breakfast and on-site restaurant - Quiet (I read that birds could be noisy but it was OK for us, maybe we were lucky?) - Although the hotel starts to be old (or look old), it is in a good state - Big onsite parking - Nice view if you have a room with sea view (not our case) - Relatively spacious room + terrace and comfy beds - Not too far from main tourist attractions (waterfalls and tropical gardens, surfer's beach, Mauna Kea and Volcano park, and others)
