This clean 2-bedroom condo is in a great location with easy access to Hilo and area attractions. The main building has businesses on the first 2 floors, and condos above. The long hallways are quite stark, dark and somewhat musty smelling. However the condo itself was bright and airy, and the lagoon view from large windows and 3 balconies is amazing. Condo decor is attractive, comfortable and mostly updated (one bathroom's tub/shower enclosure could use replacing). The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. AC and wifi worked well. The coin operated laundry is just steps away down the hall, and the allocated parking spot is under cover. Access to the room was with a keypad, so no "checkin" or "checkout" was needed. A helpful folder of information was provided in the unit. One issue we had was with parking, as we had 2 rental cars between the two couples, and there is only one allocated parking space. Fortunately the building security person gave us a temporary parking pass to use one of the "one hour only" spots. A few things would have made the stay even better: provide more toilet paper (only 2 rolls were in each bathroom and we stayed 9 days, so we had to purchase more), we had to buy bath soap as the tiny bars provided distintigrated quickly (shower gel dispensers would have been nice and more environmentally friendly), there were no extra kitchen garbage bags so we had to purchase some, luggage racks were not provided in the bedrooms, there was no kleenex and there were limited plugins. One of the bathrooms has no door in front of the sink and 's open to the main living area so there's no privacy for the couple using the attached bedroom. The kitchen space is cramped and there is no dishwasher. Despite these few negatives, the positives were the location, unit space, beds, decor and especially the view. For the price, it was a good stay.
