Great stay in Hilo

We were staying on the west side of the island most of the time, but stayed here one night to catch an early tour from Hilo the next morning. I saw in some reviews/descriptions that surfers like to stay here, so I was a little skeptical. There were 5 of us(all adults) so they put us in a family suite, and i was VERY pleasantly surprised how nice this is and very affordable. Its not fancy, and you can tell its an old building, but everything is very well maintained, clean, and a great front desk manager who took time to show us to the room. My only criticism of the room is not very many electrical sockets and some of those were worn so that the plugs would fall out. But, if we stay in Hilo again, this will definitely be a the top of our list.

This lodge is a little outdated. Room is small. Shared kitchen is convenient. Close to Hilo airport. Very loud when plane pass by. Close to the beaches which are really good for snorkeling. Can see lots of turtles.

The property is lovely, and the staff are hospitable. But the nearby airport noise was to much to take, only got an hour of sleep.

comfortable property with nice shared spaces for being able to lounge around. Walkable to the beach, but you need a car to get downtown to other attractions. Staff was very friendly and responsive.

I was here for a work conference and needed a clean, safe place while spending the day at my meetings. My room was one of six in a cottage. Immaculate, everything worked fine, bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge and coffee maker, but the cottage also had a full kitchen. Other folks shared the common space and kitchen, but quiet at night.

Quaint, clean, affordable, convenient friendly staff. This is ideal if you need a place to sleep with the basics and not a resort experience.

Arnott’s is a great getaway spot even though it is close to Hilo airport. It is rustic but very comfortable. Loved the laid back atmosphere.
