"We had the ocean view room on the second floor. It was newly renovated, with a beautiful private bathroom and beautiful wood work throughout. We were a bit spoiled when we were there, since there were no other guests on our floor during our stay. The kitchen and living room were spacious and well equipped, and Josh was always there to help us if we needed it. We would definitely stay here in the future"

Top University of Hawaii at Hilo Hotel Reviews

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"The room had a cockroach"

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful view!"

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel, no a/c or elevator, still uses keys, looks beat down from the hallway. Nice clean pool and direct access to some lava rock tide pools. TBH the view of the bay and the sound of the waves made it worth it- but I’d sleep in my car for that sound! Microwave and fridge came in handy. A low cost option for Hilo."

SCP Hilo Hotel

8/10 Good

"The SCP Hilo is a cute motel with a nice lobby and pool area. The staff are amazing-helpful and kind. The fitness area just has two Peloton bikes which is not great for those of us who don’t like biking, but I knew this before making a reservation. The bikes and paddle boards available for guests is a nice touch. The room itself is quite basic and a little small for more than two people, but it was comfortable."

Hilo Home Base - 3 Miles to State Park & Beach!

8/10 Good

"Property is a great location and home has alot of amenities you might need on a vacation."
