If you want a hotel style place that’s close to the attractions of Hilo while still being peaceful and quiet? This is the place for you! We loved our stay at Mark’s and Alex’s. The loft was clean, had a small fridge which came in very handy and a coffee machine. It was amazing to be able to drink our morning coffee outside in the yard. If you like the sound of nature, I suggest you sleep with the windows open. The calming sounds of bugs, birds and rain is perfect after a day of exploring Hawaii. Communication with our hosts was amazing. They answered quickly and clearly. If we come back to the Big Island, we will definitely stay here again!
