A very good deal in Hilo

A very nice hotel at a reasonable price. The beds were great but it would have been nice to have a microwave. I enjoyed the free welcome drink and the staff was great. Parking is free and very convenient and the hotel is close to town. A great place to stay for a couple of nights while you tour Hilo and Volcano, which is less than an hour away.

A little dated for the price and I wish there was a spa and that the pool was heated but a good quite hotel even with high school sporting team in the hotel. Restaurant was great. Continental breakfast was a joke Better off going to the store and buying granola bars. Kinda sad that Hilo looks weary and worn out.

Best in the city!

The staff far and away are what made our stay a pleasant one. From the reception area, to the concierge, to the Maintenace and cleaning staff to the bar staff, etc. everyone truly brought the Aloha spirit to our overall experience. They were the best! To make this an even better overall experience some simple things would bring an even better vibe, like tiki torches around the perimeter of where the water is (similar to the hotel next door). We have stayed at both and we prefer this one, but little things like that make a big difference for some. Overall, a great bang for the buck and best in the city of Hilo, based on our personal experience.

Property abuts beautiful Japanese garden & city park. Sunset was gorgeous. Staff friendly & professional. Would like a small light in bathroom instead of flooding the whole place in light when getting up during the night. BEST SHOWER you could want! Steak restaurant on premises is excellent but a little pricey. Nice people.

Didn't like that the door wasn't all the way to the floor so it let in the noise from the hallway. The breakfast packages weren't environmentally friendly. Should of use bio-gradable paper plates and only use plastic containers on request.

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel is fine.

The Hilo Hawaiian is a beautiful hotel with a sea side location. My only gripe was the included continental breakfast.

Terrible “continental breakfast” serving an unpeeled orange, stale croissant and Luke warm coffee in a plastic to go container. Not even a paper plate to help the environment, let alone a real plate. Carpets are stained, curtains ripped and generally rundown. Too bad because it’s a great location
