This is a nice option for a stay in Hilo. The building is an older property, and there is no air conditioning, but this is common for Hawaii and HIlo in particular. However, the apartment itself is clean, well-stocked, comfortable, and there is good security with the need for an elevator key. It is situated in a bit more of an industrial area near the airport, but faces a lovely beach park and was a short drive to many restaurants. As far as drawbacks, the apartment faces the side, rather than the back as many other apartments in the building, so there is a bit more traffic noise. There are also no window coverings in the living room, and the shades in the bedroom allow in a lot of light. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
