This spot is such a great find for longer stays (and I'm sure shorter ones too!) I was there for 3 weeks and it was a perfect home base for my work trip. Having AC in the summer in Hilo is a must if you're going to be there during the day, or to have a nicer sleep at night. Having stayed in Hawaii before, I knew bugs are an issue everywhere so I kept all my food either in the fridge or in ziplock bags on the counter. Because of this I saw minimal bugs. The shower is HUGE and fantastic, and the bed is comfortable.
