The place is pretty old, need lots of updates. No dishwasher. No shampoo. No trash bags. No paper towels - had to request for them. Small rooms. Rusty door, rusty hinges, rusty dryer top. Our family were bitten by mosquitoes/ fire ants pretty much the entire time there. We were scratching all night, unable to sleep.
Location is great. Close to where we wanted to go ~ 10 mins drive to the waterfalls, downtown, etc.
Seeing as most of the houses in Hilo are pretty old looking, I would opt for hotel next time.
