Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton
The location was great but the air conditioning kept making a buzzing sound all night. We let the staff know but it was a short notice to get ac fixed for a night stay.

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel
Good location, Bay view room worth the extra money. Older property with some deferred maintenance, but clean room and good service. The kitchenette with dishware is a nice extra.

Beautiful natural spaces! Mature, rare trees on the property, framing the hot tub. Make sure to know what you are booking. Other guests might not be as respectful as you (eg smoking cigs right outside your window)
