Hilo University of Hawaii at Hilo Hotels

"This hotel is right on the beach and caters to tourists. It is very clean and the room was very comfortable."

"Location is good for a short driving to Walmart for grocery, adding gas and eating at McDonald. But we heard two planes flew over around 6am which woke us up. The room has no air conditioning (most small hotels have no air conditioning in Hawaii). and it can be difficult to sleep if you go to bed early. Parking is good and room is big and has a simple kitchen to use."

"Wonderful short stay. Came for a graduation so didn’t really use the property amenities but staff and room were great. Enjoyed food at restaurant next door."

"I thought it was good that the hotel was near the airport. The hotel generally looked old and dingy, parking spaces are too small, tile trim falling off, shower curtain didn’t extend the length of the shower, the complimentary soap next to the sink was hard to wash off, the lanai furniture was old and felt dirty. We were located on the beach side 4th floor of the hotel and it was unappealing to see the roof below with the paint peeling. I understand that your hotel was sold out on the day we arrived and I’m not sure if the demand determines the price per night, but at $355 per night, I’ll probably go to an Airbnb next time."

"I loved staying at Maggie’s studio in Hilo. It was really clean and spacious. There were plenty of parking and I like the usage of having a kitchen and the convenience of a washer and dryer. I would come back and stay here again the next time I’m back at the big island. "

"Very clean and comfortable. Not having a kitchen sink was difficult to wash dishes used for takeout."

"Unfortunately, our stay was seriously affected by a persistent noise issue. There was a constant metallic banging sound coming from above the entrance-side room, almost every second, and the high ceiling made it even louder. Even with earplugs, it was very difficult to sleep. The noise continued and seemed to get worse during the stay. It also affected another room, as my colleague was woken up by the same noise and had to use earplugs as well. This confirmed that it was not just personal sensitivity, but a real issue affecting proper rest. We reported the problem, but felt it was not taken seriously. The response was that “people sleep differently,” and moving rooms was treated as our personal request rather than a response to a serious problem. Because of this, I had to stay somewhere else after the second day.The room layout was also very strange. The main entrance opens directly into one of the rooms instead of a normal living room or entry area. It felt like the room had been converted from an entrance compartment, which made it less comfortable and private.Considering the unresolved noise, unusual layout, and the need to find another place to sleep, this property was not worth the money for us."

"Everything was exactly as described, comfortable, close proximity to downtown, and far enough away from the busyness. It’s not two separate bedrooms but rather one bedroom and pullout bed in the family room."

"Convenient to everything: downtown, grocery, beaches, etc.The construction going on at night upstairs was loud, we had to approach the guy working at night to please stop. He did."
