The best selling guide to the Big Island... Hawaii "I don't normally write these sorts of letters (I often intend to, but I usually never get around to it!) but I just had to say how much I appreciated your guidebook on the Big Island. My book is bedraggled and looks as if I've been studying for final exams (bookmarks and notes abound!). Also, it's noteworthy that all the locals who saw my book commented on what a great book it is...you either have a lot of friends in Kona or word has gotten around that your guidebook on the Big Island is the best!" |
Hilo Hawiian Hotel (800) 367-5004 or (808) 935-9361 71 Banyan Dr. ![]() 284 rooms, conference room, coin-op laundry, empty fridge, coffee makers in room and free coffee daily, Wi-Fi in suites, hi-speed Internet access in some, pool. This is the nicest hotel in Hilo (though that in itself is not worth tons of bragging rights). Built in 1973, their location on Banyan Drive overlooking Coconut Island affords them nice views. Their lounge has karaoke some nights, live music others, but the drinks are small and anemic. The hotel was sold at press time, so changes may be planned. Rooms are comfortable but dated; the buildings are well-maintained. Check for specials. Local calls are $1. Rooms (345 sq. ft.) are $161-$211. Jr. suites (a good deal) are $247. Other suites are $346-$405. |
