If you're looking for a Park Hyatt, then Hilo town isn't for you. BUT if you're seeking charm and can appreciate the Old Hawaii vibe and the easy-going, quirky lifestyle of Downtown Hilo, then this studio apartment is absolutely PERFECT! A five minute walk to the famous Hilo Farmers' Market and local restaurants offering fresh grilled fish or bowls of savory ramen. Every necessary amenity made my visit comfortable (and unfortunately the unit's WIFI ensured that I could still work while in Hawaii). Parking is easy and there's even a small coffee shop/deli below (though I did not go in). The unit was surprisingly quiet despite being on a busy intersection, but opening the windows allow the noise below to come through. Check in was a breeze and communication with your host is "just right".
