Hard a very hard time finding the place despite being provided additional instructions and plus codes. Unit was remodeled with an update bathroom but the apartment was in a complex that was partially run down. We unintentionally surveyed the complex in search of the entry way and found some dilapidated units that have seen better days some with condemned and no trespassing signs. Parking lot was not well maintained. It is in Waiakea Village built in 1972, recently sold to new owners. It’s a mix of vacation units and regular tenants. We did not feel safe due to the run down nature of the other parts of the complex and some of the parked cars in the lot (garbage and stuff in the back of run down cars. Take note! Cars not car!!! Gate was not secured and had duct tape to prevent it from locking. There is no AC which we knew, however what we didn’t know was how little ventilation there was.
Smaller bedroom is essentially a closet with no windows. Only one bedroom had a window with a small opening. The lanai can be opened for ventilation at night, but because of the run down nature of the complex we didn’t feel safe to leave it open while we slept. May work for a party of 2 but not for a party of four. Not for people who require adequate ventilation with respiratory issues. Hilo weather in June was hot and humid. We left 2 hours after arriving and booked at the Grand Nan. Not a value for the money. After all the charges, total was more than 500$ for a one night stay. Our stay at the Grand Nan hotel with resort fees and taxes was $400 a day. Owner did agree to shorten our stay but didn’t reimburse the 500+. Our health and safety as a family was worth more than $500. I had to follow my gut feel about the place and leave as soon as we found alternative lodgings.
