We stayed here for 5 days and loved every minute of it This hotel matched the description online perfectly, the grounds are stunning, and the staff is excellent Check in took <5 minutes and that included talking with staff about where best to visit in Hilo

We stayed in a corner lanai room with panoramic ocean views Our room was quiet and any noise we heard was typical hotel noise The room was clean, nice sized, and we had no issue getting more towels and toiletries when we needed them The parking lot is directly across a quiet street (two lane road, average speed 10-15 mph) from the hotel and decently lit at night It is very easy to cross and does have some pot holes at the entrance, but there were not an issue at all We ate at the restaurant once and it was delicious with great service Prior to coming I read a lot of negative reviews on this place and after staying here for almost a week I can confidently say they were all wrong This is definitely up to the Hilton standard and such a steal for the price We can’t wait to return here and beautiful Hilo We will be telling everyone we know to come check out this hotel and Hilo- a hidden gem of the Hawaiian islands!

Chose this venue for my wedding, and it was absolutely beautiful here! The photos came out like a dream I loved staying here and it was a location close to different restaurants and not far from the downtown area The only thing I’d caution on would be that we got charged a little more than we should for the hotel stay, but I called the hotel and they helped clear it up

As for the wedding venue, it really is a beautiful location I do have to say it did take some time and persistence on my part to get certain details finalized while overseas, but the day-of, the staff were super helpful and caring, and for that we are grateful A big thank you to this hotel We will be back again

1) Only difficulty we encountered was finding the hotel on Banyan Road Hotel Sign was very difficult to see due to a very large tree casting a dark shadow, making it hard to read as well as see it during day time hours Suggest to have proper contrast of colors to make hotel name more easily seen and readable from the road

2) Hotel restaurant offered nice vegetarian breakfast and vegetarian pizza selection with wonderful service Staff with big smiles!3) Hotel location is nice secluded area with park as well Coconut Island within walking distance Hotel grounds are well maintained with nice walk pathsOverall very good hotel Congratulations to staff for offering us wonderful experience

We stayed here one or two weeks after the new owner bought this place The new owner is a vacation company, so they help you remotely Because it was during a transitional time, there were some confusion in the communication

The check in didn’t go very smooth However, despite some of the troubles, we loved this place so much! The room was comfortable The patio area is gorgeous The garden is well taken care of Great access to downtown Hilo It’s also located right next to the most popular surfing bay in the Hilo area There is no AC but you can sleep with your window and door open The sound of waves will help you sleep deeply

The reviews on trip advisor are more reflective of recent experiences … they all say just about the same thing I copied and pasted mine belowThis is not your classic bed and breakfast… more like air B and B Based on previous reviews, it seems there was a change in Management recently

They don’t serve breakfast, with Covid as an excuse which I can understand But if you are going to do a prepacked breakfast at least put decent granola bars, yogurt, fresh fruit Everything was the cheapest quality food Their bread looked like one of those packed breads at Walmart The coffee grounds were not good and tasted like the cheapest coffee from Walmart … which in hawaii I would expect only amazing kona coffee If I worked at a bed and breakfast, and had to do prepacked meals I would at least make overnight oats or something that seems more homemade! Breakfast was very disappointing and not appetizing They also did not refill the eggs my husband ate our second nightsThere was an odd stench in our kitchen like as if food was stuck in cracks Also food from the previous tenets was left in the sinkThere was hair in bathroom from previous tenetsSome fruit fliesParking lot was a little difficult to fit inOnly pro was the ocean view and sunrisesI wish we could have stayed when the old owners were there

The B&B owners Maria and Ricardo are fantastic They made us feel welcome and comfortable Our room, the Pele suite, was exactly the way it looked in the pictures online

The view of the water was awesome! Very comfortable bed We loved the food served at breakfast Each morning, Maria and Ricardo would make sure we’re pointed in the right direction with suggestions of things to do and the best way to get to things My wife and I highly recommend staying here!

Brian was very helpful when we spent 10 days at Aarons Cottage The place is outdated needs some tender care The refrigerator was rusted and the clothing dryer you needed a screw driver to operate and to open

There was no children pool, barbecue and parking was limited But nevertheless the cottage was clean and a great place to just sleep

Was not impressed with the house keeping, used this place before and was treated well, but was not impressed this time common area kitchen was for guest use or was to be, employee had food in refrigerator age of food unknown and the refrigerator was dirty, I had to sweep the floors in the room and bathroom because of dirty floors, floors needed cleaning/mopping, had to wear shoes inside, which is a go no And I would get up in the middle of the night because the kitchen lights were turned on and the back door leading to the kitchen was wide open, employee would go in and cook leaving the door open when he would leave the cottage, that’s not good customer service, my family and I did not appreciate this treatment

A whole star, NO! half a star for customer service and safety is being generous

Who complains about frogs??? Wow 🤯 I’m sad NOT about frogs which I loved, but about cockroaches The room was full of them, even in a sink I saw long black whiskers Bed linen and mattresses were old and grey

Floor dirty Microwave, fridge and w&d – rusty Walls – thin And Alan wasn’t helpful, he was unfriendly, distant, cold and overall inconsiderate Aside from these, everything else was ok 😐🥴
