Hilo Hawaiian Hotel is fine.
The Hilo Hawaiian is a beautiful hotel with a sea side location. My only gripe was the included continental breakfast.

2 night stay
This was a very quick trip so the room served its purpose as a home base. I don’t feel like I could have stayed any longer.

A very good deal in Hilo
A very nice hotel at a reasonable price. The beds were great but it would have been nice to have a microwave. I enjoyed the free welcome drink and the staff was great. Parking is free and very convenient and the hotel is close to town. A great place to stay for a couple of nights while you tour Hilo and Volcano, which is less than an hour away.

Decent
The room was decent, it met our needs but it was showing its age. The floor needed to be vacuumed, so did the elevators and hallways. The staff was very nice. The continental breakfast was okay. It was fine for an overnight stay.

Excellent hotel for our needs. Best view and easy access to Coconut Island for a swim. Super comfy beds, spacious room. Continental breakfast was a little disappointing but everything else was awesome!

Friendly check-in
Extremely friendly and helpful check-in. I forgot to ask for a room close to the elevator for my elderly mother and they were very accommodating. The hotel, while a little dated - is right on the water and the sea side has a great view. The elevator are very fast, and the restaurant and bar have great food.

Comfortable stay in Hilo
We loved the space of the room on the garden side of the hotel. We were given an end room with windows on the side as well as the patio. Our concern was with cleanliness. Around high touch areas like door knobs were a lot of noticeable finger prints and the window sill in the bathroom had insects. Luckily we always carry disinfectant wipes and were able to clean light switches, door knobs etc. The beds were fine. The bathtub really needs resurfacing or replacing. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
