Hilo Wailoa River State Park Hawaii Hotels

"Balcony chair webbing was ripped open. There were tears in the drapery lining, Fridge and ice bin were in the bathroom > unpleasant double duty for bath vanity. NO MICROWAVE! The toilet/bathtub room was as dimly lit as a 15 watt lightbulb. The bathroom exhaust system wasn't working leaving the room soaked with moisture. The towel rack above the toilet had large areas of rusty bare metal. The grunge factor was everywhere. Upgrades have been done with new paint and tile but done on the cheap with unskilled labor. Tile corners were rough. Overpaint on doorknobs and towel hooks. Ceiling light by balcony door looks like it has been there since the 1970s. The very small desk area was directly under the TV. Power outlet on the desk lamp was so worn out a power cord would not stay in contact. The next closest power outlet was 8 feet away under the small table, or, it was in the mishmash of cords behind the desk that served the cable boxes. Wi-Fi was inconsistent and kept disconnecting. And after a power failure it never came back before we left. Why wasn't the hotel's system better surge protected? The noisy bar had an entertainer that thought distorted volume made up for lack of talent. The bar's Mai Tai was the worst EVER. I bottled cocktail would have been better. It tasted like canned orange juice. I ordered two Mai Tais and a French dip sandwich to go. Mai Tais were made right away. The drink ice had melted before the sandwich was served... with no dip sauce or napkins."

"Nasty shower. Dirty room. Staff was nice though…"

"Wonderful staff! Very close to the airport, downtown, and stadium. Room was clean. If you are traveling with anyone who has mobility issues, some rooms are located far from the lobby. There are no stairs for rooms on the upper level. We could hear people outside of our room passing by and talking and going up the stairs with their luggage. Hard to fall asleep with the noise. "

"The pool was a huge plus as the ocean is 10 min away. Plus you can walk around the lagoon or head uphill into neighborhoods. Great walking! Downtown is very accessible with a good variety of restaurants. Grocery store options are close as well (KTA, Cost-U-less). Farmers' market the best place to buy fruits and veggies and support local. Condo Management was The BEST."

"Our host, Terry, was very kind and welcoming. He is very well organized and had complimentary coffee, laundry soap and even a welcoming bottle of wine for us. I’m very grateful!"

"Great morning view and great location. You can walk to the farmers market and many restaurants. Great host! Clean and great layout"

"This is a nicely appointed condo for two couples to stay. It is squeaky clean! Lovely views of the lagoon. The host is very responsive too. We really enjoyed our time there and touring Hilo. Thanks for hosting us!"

"The host was extremely receptive and helpful! Such a breathtaking view that I would love to wake up to every morning! It was a very good price too!"

"Place was clean, roomy, and well equipped. Bed was excellent. Host checked in multiple times to confirm arrival, offer things to do/places to eat, and even made a point of introducing himself when we met outside the building to have a friendly chat. View from all patio doors is like a park - beatifiul. A very comfortable stay."
