Book a hotel near University of Hawaii at Hilo, Hilo

"I found it quite noisy as you could hear people talking, top floors, tv’s."

"Balcony chair webbing was ripped open. There were tears in the drapery lining, Fridge and ice bin were in the bathroom > unpleasant double duty for bath vanity. NO MICROWAVE! The toilet/bathtub room was as dimly lit as a 15 watt lightbulb. The bathroom exhaust system wasn't working leaving the room soaked with moisture. The towel rack above the toilet had large areas of rusty bare metal. The grunge factor was everywhere. Upgrades have been done with new paint and tile but done on the cheap with unskilled labor. Tile corners were rough. Overpaint on doorknobs and towel hooks. Ceiling light by balcony door looks like it has been there since the 1970s. The very small desk area was directly under the TV. Power outlet on the desk lamp was so worn out a power cord would not stay in contact. The next closest power outlet was 8 feet away under the small table, or, it was in the mishmash of cords behind the desk that served the cable boxes. Wi-Fi was inconsistent and kept disconnecting. And after a power failure it never came back before we left. Why wasn't the hotel's system better surge protected? The noisy bar had an entertainer that thought distorted volume made up for lack of talent. The bar's Mai Tai was the worst EVER. I bottled cocktail would have been better. It tasted like canned orange juice. I ordered two Mai Tais and a French dip sandwich to go. Mai Tais were made right away. The drink ice had melted before the sandwich was served... with no dip sauce or napkins."

"Wonderful staff! Very close to the airport, downtown, and stadium. Room was clean. If you are traveling with anyone who has mobility issues, some rooms are located far from the lobby. There are no stairs for rooms on the upper level. We could hear people outside of our room passing by and talking and going up the stairs with their luggage. Hard to fall asleep with the noise. "

"Great location and clean. Will definitely stay there again. "

"Very clean and well taken care of VRBO. We booked this last minute as our other VRBO cancelled on us due to an emergency a few days before our stay. Easy check in and check out and host was easy to communicate with. In a great part of town for visiting attractions around Hilo. We were in close proximity to Rainbow Falls, tour groups for Mauna Kea and the botanical garden (which was amazing). Plenty of food/stores nearby as well. Beach is a short drive and fun to watch surfers at! It is on the bottom floor of a building though and the upstairs group was a little loud but that’s not the hosts fault. But if you’re looking for a completely quiet place be aware that there are people upstairs above the VRBO. Overall a wonderful stay and we were very happy! "

"Like new, very clean, great location"
