Spent a Friday night at this hotel. Had an ocean front deluxe room on the first floor. We were overlooking the pool area. At 2am some guests decided to go swimming and talk/laugh loudly, not very helpful when trying to get some sleep!! The room was ok, desperately needs updating, but the beds were comfortable. Complimentary breakfast was very basic,... More

We were in Hilo last week and stayed at this hotel for 3 days. At the price we paid (read really low rate), we didn't know what to expect. I must say we got exactly what we paid for. The room was clean but the furniture was getting pretty old. We also heard pretty much what happened in the other... More

From the reception area to the breakfast buffet area to housekeeping, everyone made us feel welcome and responded to our requests. We checked in at the same time with a group of 36 high school students and were concerned that the noise level might be higher than expected. Gotta love kids but they are human, too. Because we had to... More

An old hotel - a bit old, worn and dated. The rooms are spacious the beds good, the linens and towels clean and are serviced daily. You get aircon and a small fridge ans well as a continental breakfast. It is a conveniet location to explore the Volcanoes National Park, and the areas around Hilo. There are a number of... More

I didn't find the motel to be as run down as many people have stated although I did think the exterior of the building needed cleaning - but the rooms themselves were fine. The pool was OK but unheated. A complimentary continental breakfast buffet is unremarkable except that it includes all you can eat fresh papaya, which is delicious. I... More

Uncle Billy's is a one star hotel -so expect that. It is quaint. It is run down. It is a little dirty. It has not changed in probably 30 years. If you want more, pay more and go somewhere else. BUT we saved enough by going there instead of the tourist side of the island that we could afford to... More

We stayed 5 nights in Uncle Billy's Hotel in Hilo. We had booked a Deluxe Room with Kitchenette. Well, upon entering the room, we discovered there was nothing deluxe about it. Of course, at the price we paid (89 USD + tax) we did not expect the Four Seasons, but a decent, proper room. But what we got was a... More

Hilo town is not known for hotel luxury. This side offers a different experience as does Uncle Billy’s. Often the help is friendly. Sometimes they lack customer service skills that upscale hotels tout. Standard rooms are clean but sorely in need of updating. A room upgrade will give you amazing views and more attractive interiors. Expect deterioration in hallways and... More

This was the cheapest accommodations we found available in Hilo, and for the price it wasn't bad. The rooms were clean, the staff very friendly and reasonably comfortable. The continental breakfast was minimal but just fine. Great water pressure in the shower, through the temperature fluctuated somewhat as other people in the building used the shower. Walking distance to a... More
