The Dolphin Bay Hotel was a great place to stay in Hilo! We were really pleased with the (1) complimentary coffee/tea, fruit and banana bread; (2) great location with walking distance to downtown and farmer's market; (3) nice rooms with kitchenette and parking; (4) cleanliness of the room and property. John is a excellent host with plenty of local knowledge about Hilo and the Big Island. We definitely recommend it and hope to be back!
