Pros +

  • Nothing
  • hotel employee was very hospitable & accommodating. She made sure that we had everything we needed. Super nice personality, great PR. Room was very clean, as was the kitchen & sitting area. The location was great, close to Hilo & 30 min from Volcano State Park.
  • Location was great for shopping and marketing and Cynthia is a very sweet host.

Cons -

  • Everything. No air conditioning, no private bath, only a bed in a room slightly larger than the bed. Not at all how it was described in the listing. We could not stay there and had to find hotel.
  • There was nothing we didn't like about our stay, we definitely will go back. I'm not sure why anyone would give their review less than a 10:-) unless they were already having a not so good day themselves.
  • Pictures were a little deceptive and needs to be updated. I thought I booked a B & B type establishment and expected breakfast.
