This place has both pros and cons, which I'll list below.
Pros: the location is right in the center of town, convenient walking distance to everything; the room is unique with beautiful artistic touches, including a waterfall with minnows right outside the back door near an outdoor shower.
Cons: I'm guessing this used to be a storefront so the front door connects directly to the sidewalk, so passerbys are right outside your window; we noticed a pretty constant smell of ganja outside; the outdoor shower temp is tepid at best which can make for a semi-cold shower outdoors in Hilo. Finally, the first night strangers entered our room at 2 am waking our surprised baby up with a flashlight in the face. It was not good! Turns out it was guests checking in to another room who went to the wrong door. The owner changed the lock afterwards but had been unaware that the same key opened doors to multiple guests' rooms. I could see this room being good for a single guy wanting convenience to town but as a couple with a one year old it was not ideal.
