I liked the friendliness of the staff, and the location was in a good spot for the places I wanted to go. I also really loved the fact that the Coconut Grill was attached to the lobby.

Reasonable price, nice location, onsite restaurant
We enjoyed our stay at Hilo Seaside hotel, which was conviniently located close to attractions and eating places. The on-site restaurant (Coconut Grill) was overpriced, but we liked the breakfast (traditional American) which we paid for in our booking. The lobby is beautiful, and so is the pond with a Japanese-ish garden next to the hotel. There is ample parking next to the hotel as well as in a lot ahead. The amenities in the room itself are nice, and the view is not bad. They have a nice museum of Hawaiian history on-site, and nice facilities like a beautiful garden, swimming pool and laundry facilities.Only thing which I wasnt very fond of was lack of elevator which entailed us having to carry up our luggage about 10 stairs. I also didnt like how we paid extra while booking for free breakfast & free parking but parking was already free. So we got tricked into paying extra assuming its waiving our parking fee.

Hilo Seaside is a quaint hotel -- I believe it's the only hotel on the island owned by a local, not a corporation. Staff were very nice. The lobby was clean and lovely. The garden was beautiful. The koa pond was a nice touch. It's walking distance from the ocean. But we had a room in the back part of the hotel that was not as nice. A little worn out and run down. Room was clean but nothing special. Free breakfast was marginal -- don't order the banana bread.

A real find in Hilo
We enjoyed this quirky, old-style motel. We were disappointed that the pool was closed (for maintenance, so understandable) one of our two days there, but other than that had a great time. We made use of the bikes available for free to ride through the nearby parks, where we spotted several nene geese. The staff was very nice and helpful and we liked the Paya toiletries that came with the room. We had a great breakfast in the attached Coconut Grill (not affiliated with the hotel). Weve told people about this place and would stay there again. We recommend the nearby Hilo Bay Cafe for sunset dinner and Richardson Ocean Park 4 miles south for snorkeling.

Great staff. CLEAN rooms. Laundry room. Nice pool. BEAUTIFUL Koi Pond. Coconut Grill restaurant is attached (loved the food). I recommend adding breakfast to your package. Close to everything. Reeds Beach Park is across the street. I can’t say enough about this place.
