This was a lovely place to stay, very peaceful. It was really well decorated, and I could tell Joy put a lot of care into making sure everything that you'd need is there. It's a waaaay better deal than staying at a hotel - cheaper, nicer, and a full kitchen. It's also right next to one of the prettiest and least crowded parks around, with several walking bridges over the river, a mountain and ocean view, and incredible flowering trees - perfect for a jog or morning walk. Joy was also kind enough to let me check out a little later. You should definitely stay here when in Hilo.
