Hilo Hawaiian Hotel Review
Though it does show its age and some of the rooms are in dire need of a refresh, this older hotel has large bay-front rooms offering spectacular views of Mauna Kea and Coconut Island on Hilo Bay. Street-side rooms overlook the golf course. Most accommodations have private lanai, and kitchenettes are available in the banyan and ocean suites. Views of the bay are showcased in the Queen's Court dining room, while at the Waiolii Cafe, you can get a grab-and-go lunch, enjoy cocktails and appetizers, or access free Wi-Fi.
