I don't usually write hotel reviews, but this stay was memorable enough that I felt compelled to share my experience.

For the price, this hotel offers good value. The entire property - from the lobby and hallways to the guest rooms - is clearly dated, but everything was clean, functional, and well maintained. We stayed in a double queen room, which was surprisingly spacious. Our family of four was able to open all of our suitcases with plenty of room left to move around comfortably.

One thing I really appreciated was the soundproofing. Hilo is full of loud frogs and birds at night, but once the windows were closed, we couldn't hear them at all, making it easy to get a good night's sleep.

What really makes this hotel stand out, though, is its atmosphere. If you're familiar with the "backrooms" internet aesthetic, you'll know exactly what I mean. The hallways are lined with bright white fluorescent lights in a repetitive pattern, giving them an oddly endless appearance. Inside the room, the plain, faded yellow walls around the sink and bathroom add to the uncanny feeling. Combined with the excellent soundproofing and the quiet interior, the whole place has a surreal, liminal-space vibe.

For most people, this probably won't matter one way or the other. But if you're someone who enjoys the backrooms aesthetic, staying here becomes an unexpectedly fascinating experience. It's not luxurious or modern, but it's clean, affordable, comfortable, and strangely memorable.

It was quite a large oceanside room, with functioning cool air conditioning, that included free parking, free coffee, an room-sized refrigerator.

The location is excellent.

First time staying at Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, it was convenient, free parking and with costco package I got, received a larger food credit per day for their restaurant and bar than what they normally give ($25 for package, also received $10 credit but they couldn’t be combined). They all closed early so was only able to use one $25 credit for dinner. We ate in the bar which was a bit pricey but some items cheaper bc ala carte vs complete plates. It was also larger portions for sharing. We enjoyed our time here. Our room was nice, only issues were it wasn’t set up for 3 people to be in the room even though our reservation was for 3 people and where our room was, it was noisy because it was basically right above where all the extra couches were. There were kids sports teams staying at the hotel at the same time so they could get loud. I had a friend staying at another section of the hotel and she said kids were running up and down the hallways. This hotel caters to a lot more “local” people, meaning those who live in Hawaii. I still think it’s a great hotel especially since they renovated. I’m sure it’s probably not crazy or loud all the time. They also don’t have daily housekeeping, which we were fine with. If we needed anything, like another set of towels or more toilet paper we were able to get from the front desk. All the staff we came in contact with were very helpful and nice. Definitely recommend this hotel.
