This place is a hidden gem! It's located 15 mins drive from Hilo. 5mins away from the Akaka fall. Which makes it easily accessible yet quiet and unique. The hotel seems newly renovated with a gorgeous design exactly as in the photos yet it's part of a building full of local history. We also love the self-serviced drink and breakfast from the pantry. Fun fact: apparently this neighborhood has a lot of coqui frogs making the not-too-loud but unique "coqui" sound at night. You don't really hear them in the room but the sound brings a unique atmosphere to the surrounding outdoor area.
