Hamakua Coast hotel rooms a the Independent

"I paid a bit extra to have an ocean view and I believe I got the best view! There was a balcony with 2 chairs and a bench where I spent watching the sunrise & sunset. It was so beautiful. The only downside is there was no AC and the floors felt a bit dirty but overall a great place to stay for a quick trip to Hilo! There was a microwave and refrigerator as well so I got to store my leftovers from the night before and heat it up for breakfast. It was also nice watching locals out on the water. Theres some homeless walking along the road to get to the hotel — which made me feel a little skeptical but there is a security guard on property so that’s a plus!"

"Everything was fine"

"This property was great!"

"Nice location on the water with a pretty view. Rooms nice. Good water pressure in shower. Outlets on both sides of the bed. Would stay again."

"This was amazing! Great staff, great location AND there's even a swimming hole (5 min walk, if that) with a waterfall! I've never stayed in a shared house before, but this one has spoiled me! It's close enough to be able to drive to all the good tourist spots. Oh, and hopefully you're there for the "big" farmers market on Saturdays. If I get back to the Big Island I'll be coming back here! Thank you for the great time!"

"This is a beautiful, quiet property just above Hilo town. The view of Hilo from the property is AMAZING! Great value for the room we had for 5 days. The property is very relaxing and the sounds of the coqui frogs at night add to the feeling of relaxation and induction of sleep. I would highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Hilo."

"Mold in the room and the carpet was super Dirty. "

"It was nice surprise, clean newly renovated room, no tv and Kleenex in room. Have referarator, sleep sound machine, defuser and ac. Good place to chill."

"Very beautiful spot and the grounds Wei taken care of"
