It is on a busy road so it is noisy. They did provide ear plugs. Air conditioning works well. The shower is large.

We enjoyed our stay. Our room was very nice and clean, as was the bathroom. The location was very convenient to downtown Hilo, as well. I would recommend this as a great place to stay!

This is not a hotel stay
This is not a hotel and was presented as one. The price was the same as other local hotels with more amenities and fewer check out rules or a shared bathroom. Overall average clean stay.

Nice, spacious, clean room with private bath. Easy entry with good instructions. My only concern was the air freshener was very strong and caused some allergic reaction.

The general location of this house was great. Close to Hilo shoreline (not really walkable though, walkable to some sites like rainbow falls) and easy to get anywhere you want. Checking in was incredibly easy and check out was not demanding. The interior was what I expected for the price, comfortable. You also have access to general living areas which include a full shared kitchen. They also had some on-site parking.
The main issue I had was with the noise. Although it is only a two-lane road outside it is loud. And since there is no A/C (which is normally no problem in HI) you have to have the windows open to stay cool. Although they did provide ear plugs I ended up having to sleep with my noise-cancelling headphones. So if you are a light sleeper be prepared.
Overall I was satisfied with the experience and would stay again

My main concern was the ubiquitous presence of cameras in the common areas of the house. We were warned about that peculiarity when we checked in. Nonetheless, it felt very uncomfortable to be walking around knowing you were recorded on a continuous basis. Otherwise, the property was pleasant, in very good shape and clean. Support was available, if and when needed.

Pros:
1. The House is Very Clean, Spacious and Affordable.
2. The House is close to downtown Hilo i.e., The Hilo Farmer’s Market, Stores, Bars and Restaurants.
Cons:
1. The House is along Kaumana Drive, a very busy thoroughfare especially on weekdays at the early hours of the morning. We read other people’s review on the House concerning the Noise. We thought they were highly exaggerated. They were not. The House did provide earplugs in the room.
2. The House has cameras in the Common Areas. This was disclosed in the description of the House and in the Rental Agreement. One evening, my shoes were moved from one level of the shoe rack to another less than an hour of arrival. We were reminded via text to turn-off lights when leaving a room/space. We have no issue with shoes being moved or being reminded to turn-off lights. However, it left us with the feeling that our actions and movements were being watched and monitored constantly. In our opinion, it felt creepy!
In conclusion, will we ever stay in this place again? No.

The host should have given the check in instructions already since I fully paid and sent the verification form that I filled out prior to checking in. I have to text and call the host several times for the instructions since the host did not answer the phone until five minutes before the check in time. Instructions for the TV none. Password for the internet is not indicated. So frustrating.

It was my first time staying at the property. The shared bathroom and shared kitchen was concern at first, but I got used to after the first night. On the first night, there was another guest sleeping on the couch in the shared living room. That MF snored like a loud dying pig. The walls are not that thick and I could hear him from my room. But, liked that the room opened to the balcony. The room, Room 2, where I stayed was close to a highway so the traffic noise was bearable, but the traffic died down in the evening. The balcony also has two plastic Adirondack chairs where I sat every morning watching the sunrise, if you could look beyond the power cables that sometimes interfered with the view. The property was within 20 min of where I needed to go. There’s a McDonald’s with an all-day/all-night drive through; would get my coffee and breakfast and sit on the balcony waiting for the sunrise. It would be nice to have a Keurig that is connected to the plumbing so no need to refill. There’s also a full size fridge/freezer where you can store your leftovers.

Overall really good, the only thing that was a little frustrating was the bathroom and the shower, the water in the shower was either ice cold or burning hot it was impossible to find a middle temperature other than that was great
