Fodor's Review:

Though it does show its age and some of the rooms are in dire need of a refresh, this older hotel, with large bay-front rooms offering spectacular views of Mauna Kea and Coconut Island, is one of the most pleasant lodgings on Hilo Bay. Streetside rooms overlook the golf course. Most accommodations have private lanai, and kitchenettes are available in some one-bedroom suites. Views of the bay are showcased in the Queen's Court dining room, and the Waioli Lounge has entertainment Thursday through Saturday. Pros: Hilo Bay views, private lanai, large rooms. Cons: rooms sorely in need of renovation, prices high for quality of rooms.
