Independent Hilo hotels

"The hotel almost covers everything for a hotel in a Hawaiian Island. "

"Wonderful place to stay for the weekend of our wedding. Thank you for the chocolate, cookies treats and free drinks. Nice place for morning walks. "

"Easy check in and check out."

"The property was exactly as described. Great location and central to all we wanted to do. We slept great with ocean breezes and never had a problem with no a/c. The driveway was steep but we knew that from our instructions and we expected that with level where we parked and unloaded."

"Wonderful staff. We got a recently renovated room with a kitchenette which was great. This place is not new and it’s not fancy. But we don’t need that. It felt like home. And I must repeat: the staff was wonderful. "

"We had nine adults and six children under four and stayed for ten days. We literally sat on the deck and ate breakfast and we would spot sea turtles across the street. Great snorkeling and black sand beach right there. We will return again soon."

"This is a very economical but charming place to stay. It has more of an Airbnb feel to it. The setting is quite wonderful. I think for it to be convenient it helped a lot to have a vehicle. Good small refrigerator, small microwave and a Keureg coffee maker, but not much else for food preparation and eating. I enjoyed the chickens. "

"We have returned to Aaron's cottage for a third time and enjoyed our stay again. "

"The Thomas Guard house made it a memorable stay in Hilo, where we came for a special family celebration. There are four large upstairs bedrooms, plus one off the dining room and two on the lower floor where the children in our group slept. The large, open living room with its picture window was a magnet for everyone to be together. The entire house is welcoming and gracious, the kitchen is well outfitted, and the dining room is large and comfortable. Everyone was happy to be together in this very special place. "
