If you are seeking a budget-friendly place in super close proximity to all of Hilo's beaches, look no further! This place is perfect if you are just wanting a simple place to crash after exploring and beaching all day. There is a secret beach about a 3 minute walk down to the end of residential street. Alan is absolutely filled with the aloha and was very helpful. The bathroom was clean and the bedding freshly laundered and still warm. It's a cozy little spot with coquis frogs singing you to sleep and cardinals welcoming the new day. There are some comfy outside seats to relax in if you don't want to stay in your room. Bed was comfortable.
I came here seeking solace from my new neighbors' domestic disputes, while I look for a new place to live, so I was not vacationing per say, but I felt comfortable, safe, and GRATEFUL to have found that little spot after all the unexpected drama! When spirit says move, you move! <3 lol
I would absolutely stay there again if the need arose considering I already live in Hilo. Kitchen is right next door which is super convenient, if planning to cook, snack, or even just to discard your carryout boxes in the larger kitchen trash bag like I did! lol All in All I give this place two Big SHAKAS! ALOHA! <3
