The accommodations are basic (just like the photo), but it is uniquely situated in Hilo; the room has two windows overlooking trees and the sound of tree frogs will lull you to sleep. Michael, the host, put out extra shampoo, shave, and a vase of flowers. He is very active in the local horticultural community which adds an interesting dimension to the stay. It is a bit difficult to find and the approach makes you think you are in the country.
