Location is everything. The deluxe ocean view is just incredible. Right across is coconut island and next to is Liliuokalani garden. The market is a 20 minute walk or 4 minute drive. It’s an older hotel so it doesn’t have the best amenities, but it was clean and enjoyable. I would stay here again. If you want something really nice maybe stay at the Hilton next door. I loved the Hilo Hawaiian.
