SCP Hilo Hotel
Eco-friendly hotel with a beautiful view in front. We walked out with our morning coffee to look at the lagoon and saw a sea turtle swimming. I really appreciated the free filtered water filling station and the tester of Kombucha.

Plumeria Hilo Hotel
We were in Hawaii for 2 weeks, and stayed at several hotels, and the Plumeria Hilo Hotel had the best room by far because ut was more like an apartment than just a hotel room. There was a fridge, micorwave, hot plate, dishes, etc. A bit a road noise, but the beach was close by.
