Given the price, hands down, this place rates 5 stars. It comes fully equipped with bottled hot and cold water, microwave, small refrigerator, and shampoo/conditioner/body lotion plus hair dryer and curler. The bed is oh, so comfortable! This unit is located in downtown Hilo, walking distance to a number of great restaurants, a grocery store, farmers market, chocolate and mochi stores, theater, Kava bar, and yoga studio. And free parking is right next store. Another plus is Michele's daughter, Kendra, who lives on the premises, and is a great source of information.
Given the price, you know this is not the Taj Mahal, right? It is a small, funky unit under a dress shop, and we loved it. Natural light comes through a mini sidewalk-level window that probably shouldn't be opened. Two fans help with circulation. If you want a beach-front balcony condo, you'll have to open up your wallets a tad more. This is not the Hilton.
