I needed a quick place to stay for the Hilo Marathon. This place is just under a mile from the start/finish and is conveniently located near a KTA market for groceries and last minute items. I reached out last minute and Michele was very responsive and accommodating - even allowing a little more time to checkout.
The room has all the amenities that I needed, including a refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine. The bathroom had two full sets of towels and body wash, shampoo, conditioner. There were even things that I didn't need like a hairdryer and hair straightener!
Her retail store above has some nice Hawaiian prints and I was tempted to get an aloha shirt. The area has lots of places to eat and hang out, is near to the Bay, etc. This was a tough marathon but if I do try it again I'll be back.
