Marlenes place is in a perfect, convenient location. Walking distance to some of the best places in Hilo. The place itself has just the basics and the beds aren’t the best. The walls are thin and you can hear the neighbors at night, but with that said, the neighbors are really nice!! I’d recommend staying here if you’re planning to spend a lot of time outside because the location is PERFECT! Marlene is super responsive and really nice. Thank you Marlene! We’ll definitely stay here again!
