Front desk staff were polite and helpful. Asked for extra blankets and the staff member was cordial and accommodating. The Wild Ginger Inn is a gem and is a pleasant stay. We have stayed here many times. We really like it.

The place is very old and in need of repair- which they appear to be working on. The room they gave us had no curtains and windows that would not close. They did move us to a room where these 2 things were taken care of but the rooms had no hot water. We were told we could shower in a lobby bathroom for hot water. They did provide a small breakfast in a comfortable area but would not stay here again.

I stayed in a renovated room. the room itself was very nice and appointed well with a good mattress. there was a blanket but no sheet, just a bed sheet and blanket. no A/C - but didn't matter with a fan and windows open at night in hilo - very comfortable (and i sleep hot). the bathroom has a screen opening you can't shut - you will hear birds and frogs! the grounds and façade of the hotel are terrible so just be ready when you pull in because it looks dumpy. the staff was friendly. A big pro was I was a 5-10 min walk from Friday night market and restaurants so it was nice to not have to drive to get food and drinks. overall I recommend but know that it is old school property with few amenities but a good room for the price.

Very convenient spot to swim the turtles by driving for a few minutes towards the airport, a great breakfast with fruits and homemade cakes, overall a very good deal if you enjoy staying in a vintage building with a bit reduced comfort

If I could are the hotel 0 stars, I would. The check in staff were very friendly. But….the shower faucet was a vise grip. The tile looked gross. No blanket, only 1 sheet. The windows did not close, so we heard the traffic from the highway on the backside of the hotel all night. The walls are paper thin, so we heard a screaming kid for hours. We would never stay here again.

Difficult after-hour check-in. Open door was hiding the key lock box, no instructions on how to use the room door security plus it hadn’t been set up properly according to a staff member who was staying late for another project and happily helped me out.

Location good. Good Price. Room is ok. Nice friendly staff. Cons: Only 2 towels in bathroom. Stairs too steep for seniors-should have been given room on street level. ( Was on lower level.) Ran out of food at breakfast. Was advised in advance that hot water was slow to arrive at shower but not available after running tap 5 minutes.

Did not have expectations. Needed a place to stay on short notice. Would give one more star had the price been more reasonable. The place is old and run down. Flooring peeling up, paint peeling, rooms its self is unlevel. That being said bedding, towels clean, comfortable enough beds. Would stay at hostel in town next time.

Lovely staff who were very helpful. The property was built in 1920 by the grandfather of the young lady who managed the hotel during our visit. She told us that plans are being made to refurbish the hotel. We stayed in the ocean view room where the views are stunning. The hotel does need some modenisation in some parts.
