Top Mauna Kea Observatory Hotel Reviews
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"It was wonderful. The rooms were clean. We enjoyed the beach and the food was excellent."
Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"Check-in/Front desk and Valet staff are friendly, professional and efficient.
The room is clean, well appointed (mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker). The only two issues are the bathroom barn (door doesn’t glide well) and the patio door (only opened two inches wide). We did not inform staff as we managed to deal with it for our two night stay (one of which was pouring rain so moot point for the patio door).
Otherwise, stay was good. "
