My stay at the Hilo Bay Hotel had its ups and downs. While the staff were friendly and the location was perfect, the overall condition of the hotel and the amenities were disappointing (not at all what was promised). The rooms were basic and rundown, which really did affect my experience.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had beautiful wood floors and a lovely view of the bay. However, it lacked many amenities that were advertised, such as cups and a functional kitchenette, which left me feeling underwhelmed. I also faced issues like a broken sliding door and bugs in the room.

My stay at Hilo Bay Hotel had its ups and downs. On one hand, the location is fantastic—right on the bay and central to everything. However, the accommodations didn't live up to expectations, falling short of what was advertised. The staff was genuinely friendly and tried their best to assist, but the overall condition of the hotel really needs improvement.

My stay at Hilo Bay Hotel was a mixed bag. The location was perfect, right on the bay with a stunning view, but the hotel itself is in dire need of renovation. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who went above and beyond, especially in helping with the air conditioning situation. Overall, while I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the hospitality, the facility had too many issues for me to give it a higher rating.
