Mountain View Hotels

The shared kitchen was great. It was nice to be able to cook meals.

It was a very clean hotel room. Comfortable settings.

I did not see anything that I did not like.

Nice staff

The hotel is under going renovation and should be quite nice when done. All in all a nice quiet clean place to stay. The staff was nice and the free parking was helpful.

The continental breakfast as extremely limited. You need more than cheap little muffins and cut pineapple every morning.

Close to the airport, on the water with beautiful views. The room was clean and recently renovated, plain but plenty of space with a large bathroom. Walking distance to a beautiful park and along the bay. Parking was free and no difficulty finding a spot. Hotel under construction, but that really didn't interfer with my stay. A/C worked great in my room. I would stay again.

Great room, friendly staff - Dan and Nikki were very kind and efficient. Breakfast portions were just right. Quick access to the park.( Also, Ohelo's restaurant right down the street was great for lunch and dinner.)

Wish the driveway were better. We almost didn't want to drive in at first, but once you're in front of the house it's beautiful.

The vibe.

The hostess goes out of her way to please and help her guests. The rooms very clean with fresh orchids. Breakfast very healthy with fresh home grown products. I gave her my laundry and she did it within the day (extra charge,which is OK for me)

We were very pleased with the accommodation and service. The unpaved road was a little rough but we drove carefully with our regular car and made it even after strong rain.

Rural setting. Nice well kept estate surrounded by rain forest.

Finding the Lava Tree state park sign at night is difficult. Restaurants and amenities are a few miles distant.

Top-notch room in the middle of a rain forest. The best room of our two- week trip.

Clean. Great breakfast, not just continental breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice laundry. Convenient to everything. Close to airport. Very Affordable. We will refer everyone to this Hotel.

The location next to the airport was nice. It is within a reasonable walk to downtown Hilo.

The hotel feels old and could use some renovation. It was also very hard to find our room. Breakfast doesn't start until 7am, so we missed it due to an 8am flight.

Off-season pretty much had the Lodge to ourselves. Felt like we were renting a really large house. Large room with comfortable bed (electric blanket much appreciated!).

Provided breakfast was filling, but high in carbs and missing in protein; eggs at least would have been nice. No access to laundry. Hot tub looked like it needed maintenance. There was no grill, which was advertised as available.

We came here for the location and left dissapointed at the lack of privacy and the unexpected shared bathroom. We booked with Chateau Kilauea, but were instead given a room at Volcano Hale which is a huge house with rentable rooms and shared common areas/bathrooms. The strict check in window of 3-5pm is also annoying. This place did have good cleanliness going for it, but we still were sharing a pot with non-flushers and stinky pee-ers. My recommendation: Be prepared to take your chances or stay elsewhere...

Inflexible check in policy Shared bathrooms Thin walls Lack of privacy

Price was good and reservation worked well. Old house has rustic charm.

Requested the highest room available and was given the basement with the noisy stairs cutting through the room right over the bed, even though many other rooms were available in the house. Was not expecting shared bathrooms.

Hostess was very helpful with local activities, and the B&B is close to good snorkeling beaches.

Our bathroom had an old tub that was more difficult to use.

place was nice until...(see cons)

Watch out for the paranoid, super-sensitive owner who claimed we smoked in the place...which we did NOT do...1 person smoked outside and didn't want to throw the butts on the ground so brought them in, put them under water, and then into the trash can. Owner claimed the smoke smell was so horrific that she had to wash everything in the place, including the curtains...and that the next night's renters refused to rent when they walked in so she lost rent...how can that be since we hadn't been gone very long and checkin isn't until 3:00PM and by 12:30 the owner had slapped our card with a $200 cleaning fee! She said the bathroom reeked, but the butts were placed in the trash near the front door. I am allergic to cigarette smoke, but had no reaction to any smoke inside because there was NONE.

I liked the private entrances, the hosts were very informative and gave great recommendations of what to see while on the island. The lava tube tour was really cool! It was amazing to have something like that in your backyard!

Everything was great.

The most hospitable, friendly, and down-to-earth family run hotel I've stayed at. Very clean and simple accommodations with an excellent light breakfast. Great location and atmosphere.

No complaints at all!

Still reminded us of Uncle Billy's, Happy to see the same hardworking staff!!

Air conditioner leaking in our room

Everything was great

Everything was great

It was cheapish. That's about it

Very small rooms. No lift. No aircon. Very dated. Airport noise. Wouldn't recommend.

The woman at the reception desk when we arrived was full of the aloha spirit and very helpful. Location overlooking the bay was pretty.

The hotel was worn and had seen better days.

Location Privacy Freshly baked bread Fruit

No sink in "kitchenette" Extra blanket would have been nice

It was very cute, homey, great ambience, nice rooms, nice landscaping and a working farm with a variety of animals. Great place for a romantic getaway, family vacation or business.

No complaints at all. I hope to stay there again. One minor drawback is it's 24 miles from Hilo but on the positive side very close to the volcano, sights and parks!

The location in Volcano was perfect. The owner welcomed us, had great suggestions, and was very friendly. Overall very warm and accommodating.
