This was a great place to stay for a night, very close to downtown Hilo! As other reviewers mentioned, the noise level from nearby animals was intense, and I definitely needed ear plugs. Also the layout was a little strange - the "bathroom" is really a separate toilet and shower, and then a kitchen sink in the main area. So if you turn on the sink while someone else is sleeping, there's no door or curtain to help block the noise. (Of course with earplugs this didn't actually matter too much!) I don't think I would do a really long stay here since the shared laundry, sink setup, and lack of a couch made it hard to feel totally comfortable, but for a night it was exactly what we needed.
