We can only recommend Cody‘s place. The room is super nice and comfy (including the soft bed). The view is gorgeous and you can walk into downtown Hilo from there (about 20 min). With the easy access to the highway you can also go quickly to North (Akaka Falls) and South (Volcano Park) of Hilo (or wherever you want to go) by car. The breakfast was great with fresh fruit and baked goods. We really enjoyed this place and would be delighted to come back.
