Delbert’s place was perfect for our needs. We were looking to check out the sites and food of Hilo, and it was in a good location for that goal. Unlike other reviews, the unit itself was clean. The bathroom was clean and Delbert provided a lot of towels. Yes, the building is a bit old and dated, but you’re in downtown Hilo. The location is in the heart of the town, nearby great restaurants and local bars. There’s plenty of beaches within minutes as wells as beautiful waterfalls. We were fortunate to find parking right out front each night, and we were out and about before 8-10am. That saved a bit of money.
The best part of this place is Delbert’s attentiveness. It was a bit loud due to thin walls, local traffic, birds squawking into the night, and the rain. The wife asked our host if they had ear plugs. Delbert ran to the store and purchased a set for free. Great customer service and definitely made us feel the aloha! Sure the location may not be the best, but you also can’t expect to pay the price for a resort. Also, all the residents at the complex were all friendly and greeted us when we passed through the corridors.
All in all, great value and location. Super attentive and friendly hosts. Mahalo for a good stay!
