We stayed in Robin's lovely Avocado Room, and thoroughly enjoyed the amenities of her beautiful, historical B&B, including a big comfortable bed, private bathroom, relaxing lanai, large library, free wifi, free secure on-site parking, fresh coffee, and engaging fun conversation. Robin is a fantastic host, and she generously shared her knowledge of Hilo and the Big Island with us. We savored delicious, fresh avocados and other fruit from Robin's trees daily, and walked from Hale Lanikaula to downtown Hilo's shopping, dining, and outdoor market hot spots. We would absolutely stay there again, and would recommend Hale Lanikaula to everyone exploring the friendly town of Hilo, or the Big Island's other incredible east-side destinations such as Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Puna District's snorkeling and surfing spots, and the Hamakau Coast's waterfalls, beaches, and stunning scenery. Enjoy your stay! Jim and Kay Haggenjos, from Portland, OR, October 2013
