I can't say enough good stuff about our experience here. The room was gorgeous, quiet, comfortable and private, with cranking AC (a rarity in Hilo) and a truly beautiful location. Lovely breakfast of local fruit, coffee, and baked goods. Location v convenient to Hilo but feels like its own little world.
Hilo is not yet a travel destination for most visitors, aside from cruise ship day trippers. The hotels here suck. There's no Disney or Brady Bunch stuff happening. But if you want great food, so much access to nature, a slower pace of life...Hilo is magic and Cody's place is really the spot to be.
