Top Wailoa River State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean comfortable room. It was cooler than I thought it was going to be so I didn’t have any problems. Just keep in mind they don’t have air-conditioning floor fans and ceiling fans. Wasn’t a bad place to stay for the price."

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"It would be nice to have a microwave oven in the room. That's the only additional amenities. Mahalo nui loa for such a wonderful place and hospitality. Staff showed the typical aloha spirit. I would recommend this place. Mahalo nui loa."

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Considering they just went through a bad storm, this hotel was clean and the staff were courteous and friendly. Room was clean and we enjoyed our getaway."

Hilo Town Inn

8/10 Good

"We liked the room and liked the location - just steps to the Farmer's Market. This is more of a note to Expedia than to the Hilo Downtown Inn. This is the second place we have rented through Expedia that didn't tell us we'd need to negotiate stairs. My wife has trouble navigating stairs. I think the property and Expedia have an ethical and perhaps legal obligation to inform potential renters about the stairs."

8/10 Good

"The property was very nice. Great location. The only issue was the laundry room and the dryers not drying your clothes. The tv service was spotty which I think was due to unstable internet. Only one person in our party wanted a functional tv so he was unhappy with that. Everything else was perfect."
