Megan and Jasper we absolutely lovely hosts. What initially attracted us to the BnB was the great location in downtown Hilo. This room used to be an actual storefront and one of the entrances puts you right onto the sidewalk. Parking is easy and checkin took only a few minutes.

The Lotus garden (the rest of the BnB) has a very laid back vibe and is a quiet retreat from the downtown outside during the day.

That said, it may have been just a day of the week, but there is a noisy bar just down the street that you can hear at night and there is always the noisy Coqui Frogs may bother some guests in the night. As a New Yorker this wasn't a big deal and if this happens to you, I suggest you do as I did and take it all in stride for staying in a tropical downtown BnB.
