5/5 Excellent

"This is an older property, but it is well maintained, very clean, and moderately priced. Beautiful oceanside location that is a short drive from Volcanoes National Park. Our only contact with staff was with the security person who took care of our late check in for our one night stay. He was very helpful and pleasant. We would absolutely stay here again. "

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

5/5 Excellent

"We have been having great experiences in Hawaii at every place we have stayed so far. But I have to mention something special about this property. We stayed here only for one night -but every bit of it was worth it. The staff at the reception desk on 20 th evening - her name is Ipo - was just amazing! We just mentioned that our younger one’s birthday is on 21 st and we wanted to know if there was an option of getting a cake somewhere. Not only she arranged a cake as a courtesy , she got beautiful garland and a cute birthday card signed by the staffs for our little one and had everything ready to be picked up at the front desk at 11 at night! We travel all around the world - this was so special ! We never experienced this kind of hospitality anywhere before ! They didn’t have to do any of it - we would still love the property - its location right on the water - beautiful view from the balcony - the excellent service by the staffs at the restaurant! We couldn’t ask for anything more ! It will be nice to come back again ! Thank you Ipo and thank you all the staffs ! "

Hawaiian Hideaway w/ Yard < 2 Miles to Hilo Bay!

4/5 Good

"Put this review off for awhile intending to dismiss it but was reminded again so here goes. Large home in convenient location, with all the necessities. Just a few things that would be better is if screens/windows were repaired or replaced so they can be opened to allow airflow and less use of a/c. Especially in the upstairs bathroom. We couldn’t figure out where the outside stairs light was, which would have been helpful as it was quite dark when getting back at night. Felt a little sheepish since there was a camera pointing right at us whenever outside the front door, which someone must have visual access to given the panel on interior wall. Also, fumigation every so often would definitely help with the “critter” issue. I was raised in Hilo with much of my family still there so didn’t have an issue with removing our trash from premises which is not something I’ve had to do in other vacation rentals I’ve stayed in. Usually there is clearly somewhere on site to dump it. Overall, good for a large group but not for those who are squeemish with insect or reptile type creatures or are used to “finer” lodgings. "
