Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel
"I liked the fact the ocean front rooms had a beautiful view of the bay. The only downfall I had a problem with was the cleanliness of the kitchen. It smelled like rat piss, the shower smelled of mildew. Other than that the stay was perfect and convenient for me and my family."
