Castle Hilo Hawaiian Hotel
The hotel is old and needs a total makeover - however given the economy and price per night it’s a good value - got to remember Hilo doesn’t get the attention or business ($) that the Kona side does. I was expecting worse but was surprised. The Castle Hilo was clean and functional - my room was on the seventh floor facing the bay. I choose Castle Hilo for my last nite on the Big Island because my departure flight is out of the HIlo Airport - very convenient 5 minute drive if you have an early morning flight.
two very good locally owned eateries for breakfast/lunch - Big Island Grill in Kailua Kona and Don’s Grill in Hilo - good size portions, value and good service.

Best of Hilo
Our first stay in Hilo was a great experience. Location of hotel is prime for base point of excursions. Staff service was great. Rooms are a little dated, but still adequate.

Good value for the price.
The hotel needs a new sign. I drove past it 2 times in the dark. And followed a friend who drove past it. The restaurant is too pricey for its food but the island does not offer much competition (my best food was native fruit bought in store). The cleaning staff was the best part. The front desk was helpful but occasionally inaccurate about the island.
