the location cannot be beaten. earplugs are provided to drown out any traffic noise at night. you are walking distance to everything in downtown hilo - kta, the farmers market, lyman museum, local shopping, brealfast, lunch, dinner. as i had been traveling so much, it was nice to have a place that felt like home. delbert is an excellent host and his hospitality cannot be beaten. you will not find a kinder guy! the space is certainly cute and cozy and i loved my stay.
