Great location! Easy walk to restaurants and the farmer's market. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Everything a person would need was in the house. There was always an open space right in front of the house to park our car. Overall, a great stay and would highly recommend.

Simone thought of everything! The kitchen had everything one would need during their stay. The towels were fluffy, there was plenty paper towels, TP, tissue etc. Even a flashlight to find your way to the bathroom at night. Comfortable beds, books about the island, food recommendations. I would definitely recommend this home for a stay in Hilo.

Great place to stay right in the heart of Hilo. Whaler's Inn earns its name; part of the enjoyment of staying here is discovering all the little nautical details throughout the house. For example, the drainer basket in the kitchen sink has a little whale on it; later in the stay, I noticed that the TP dispenser was a whale's tail. Very fun, and always in good taste. Recommended.
