If you are looking for a small place close to town, this place would work fine. I probably would recommend to a solo male traveler or a couple since it is located in a bit rough part of Hilo, or at least it seemed that way with homelessness, abandoned vehicles, etc especially in the evening. It was quite smaller than the pictures shown. Shower is very very tight. I’m 5’0”, 113lb and I still thought it was small. Unfortunately with humidity and how the shower is designed, there are a lot of water damage in the bathroom. Towels were stained. My allergy did flare up while staying, possibly due to molds or mildew. Unfortunately the bedding and the closet heavily smelled like mildew.
Kitchen definitely didn’t provide enough space for cooking. Toaster had used foils in it, so we never felt comfortable using it. We didn’t feel comfortable using the sponge either. Just hand washed everything we used or used plastic utensils when it was possible.
Unfortunately we will look for a bit more comfortable place when we visit Hilo next time. But if you are looking for a very accesible place to sleep at night, I believe this place works great!
