Book a hotel near Kalakaua Park, Hilo

"The checking staff was extremely inefficient, and unfriendly. The room, especially bathroom is completely outdated. Sink rusty paint coming off. How are we noisy, swimming pool merch. Way overpriced for the quality and service. The location is great though."

"Overall good location with good amenities. However, all of the pillows (2 for sleeping) provided are too soft and not firm enough. Bed sheets’ thread count is very low which in combination leads to uncomfortable sleeping conditions. Otherwise, solid."

"Room was clean and beds were comfortable. The price was great for staying in a nice hotel on the water with a beautiful surrounding area. It was better than I expected based on their review score. The little gym was decent with nice weights and other equipment. Restaurant was good too."

"Parking was great! Staff was through the roof kind and accommodating. Little older place but very clean room."

"Spacious accommodations and gracious host. We arrived earlier than anticipated and host allowed us to enter early. The place was tidy, and we were provided with welcome coffee and cookies. A/C was great in the bedrooms but none dedicated to Living/Dining area which was a bit warmer. It suited our needs nicely. Two drawbacks were things outside of host control - noisy birds/frogs/wildlife and the neighborhood was a bit sketch (but we did not feel unsafe). Highly recommend."

"Live like a local. It was cool to be in a local neighborhood with close proximity to downtown. The place was spotless and well appointed. Very clever whale theme throughout. Very prompt response of management when any issue surfaced. Loved the sound of the songbirds, the plumeria tree streetside, even the neighbors cheering games nearby. Only downside was the streetlight shining in the front bedroom window at night. Overall this was a charming spot. Even the front porch is nice with the cafe table and chairs. There were snorkeling equipment and beach towels available and a few beach chairs. We enjoyed many local eateries and the Farmers Market along with the nearby Hawaiian Tropical Botanical Gardens. "
