Oh what a gem! Perfect location if your visiting Hilo for vacay or business. We were here on business so this fit the bill! They said 'road noise" but, I didn't hear anything..lol maybe cuz were from Oahu and used to traffic/sirens...I would say if my sons were with us they would have to duck down in order to not hit their heads on the roof/beam. Lucky, I'm short and I had only my babys. lol so we were fine. So if you're 6ft+ tall you will have to be careful walking thru the living room area. Will def recommend to friends & family, and rent again.
