Independent Hawaii Island hotels

"We were really happy with choosing this hotel. The only annoying thing was the number of flies that always came to eat with us. They really need to do a better job of managing that. There are plenty of eco friendly methods."

"I have stayed here many times and will continue to book here Love it"

"Very convenient location for everything in the area, it's easy to walk to all the bars and restaurants. The parking costs 25 dollars a day unless you gamble and try to find parking somewhere on the streets I found that to be slightly frustrating."

"Clean and nice staff."

"Amazing"

"Nice spot for a night. Enjoyed the pool and paddle board. You need to carry it across the street and down to the entry area (and it may have wake so sitting or kneeling might be better than standing). This is more motel and basic accommodations, but the service is very friendly and each booking removes trash from the island and helps local organizations. Location is good especially if you have a car to explore around Hilo proper. You’re not far from the airport so you may occasionally hear planes loudly over the hotel. I only noticed 3 so they didn’t wake me up (or maybe they don’t fly often during the night)."

"After coming here from Hilton GV, I finally felt welcomed (6 days after my arrival). The staff are professional yet sunny. They are also helpful. The hotel has some free activities (I'm going to learn hula dancing!). There are also plenty of paid activities that originate at this hotel. (I was aboard the Atlantis for the undersea adventure). The hotel has one of the best locations on Hawai'i's west coast. There are plenty of shops & restaurants within walking distance. "

"Very friendly, good food, room clean, good view, nice pool and location was great. "

"directly on the water, was gorgeous."
