The Lotus Garden was an amazing place to stay in downtown Hilo. Close to the market, various restaurants, and downtown nightlife. The hosts, Megan and Jasper, were also quite amazing. They are very friendly, helpful, enjoyable to talk to, and very accommodating. Their place is quite the oasis in an urban setting and very peaceful and tranquil. Be prepared to hear all sorts of wildlife sounds during the night, early in the morning, and during the day. It is quite an amazing place they have set up.
