SCP Hilo Hotel

Property is old and needs drastic renovation

I had a nice stay at the SCP Hotel in Hilo on a recent trip. The hotel has several different areas/wings and I was in the peaceful wing, which did seem pretty quiet. The rooms are on two floors and there isn't a readily available elevator so something to note for people who don't get around that well - you may want to request a ground floor room. The bed was comfortable and the room was good sized. The pool area was very nice. The location was convenient - it was just a few minutes drive to the downtown area and was also well-situated to drive out to Volcanoes National Park. One thing I wasn't aware of is its proximity to the airport - it's basically across the street - you can hear airplanes from time to time, but I never found it an issue. One other thing was that my room didn't have a TV - which isn't a huge deal for me - I didn't go on vacation to Hawaii to watch TV - but could be for others. Not sure if that was because I was in the peaceful wing or if none of the rooms have TVs, but that was something I hadn't seen in a hotel room in a while. All in all a very good stay.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The common areas were very nice and well cared for. The Koi fish pond was relaxing and beautiful. I loved that you could ride a bike and paddle board for free. Those were nice little touches. They also had board games and books to read in a little “library” area.

The rooms left a lot to be desired. They were bare and bleak, small and at one point I was put in a room in what I felt was like a dungeon. I asked for another room that was a bit nicer but still not that nice. This is an old motel that they are trying to make into a resort. They charged a resort fee for a boutique motel. There is no room service. The Coconut Grill that is next door was good but it was not part of the motel. You could not order drinks while you lounged at the pool. For the price, resort fee and from pictures, I expected more. I made the most out of my stay but I would not recommend this motel to anyone for the price that is being charged. There was also construction going on all day.

Didn’t eat breakfast

Great humans working there, cool activities, nice vibes.

Wifi could have been a bit better for a digital nomad.

Décoration des parties communes.

Rien à signaler

The location is wonderful, just in front of the bay where you can see turtles eating breakfast each morning. We borrowed bicycles and paddles from the front desk for free. The staff are super nice and helpful. Bedding and facilities are comfortable, even though the whole property is a little old. Will visit SCP again.

スタッフの雰囲気が良い。フロントにコーヒー、熱湯、水、電子レンジがあり。フロント前の開放的なエリアで、買ってきたご飯を食べる事ができます。コインランドリー（洗濯機、$3.5 乾燥機、$3.5）有。目の前の海はカメがいますし、隣にはレストラン、徒歩数分の場所にピザやコーヒーのフードトラック（数件）もあります。SUP、自転車は無料で借りる事ができるので、ファーマーズマーケットまで１０分で行く事ができました。

良く掃除されているが、場所がらなのか、小さい虫が多い。廊下やランドリーコーナーにゴキブリがでる。部屋の中に小さな虫もいる。おそらく、換気口や、窓に取り付けらている空調設備付近から入ると思われる。空調もクーラーはあるが、暖房は無いと思われる。温度設定したが、温風は出なかったし、パワーが弱い。私が宿泊した日は気温が低かったので、夜は寒かった。洗面台が使いずらいです。エレベーターがないので、人によっては１階を希望した方が良い。虫と音に敏感な人は無理なホテル。立地条件を見ればわかりますが、飛行機の音は大きいです。シンクがフラットで水が流れにくく、棚の位置が悪い。日本人には馴染みのない自転車。逆回転がブレーキです。通常、停止した時に逆回転させてペダル位置を合わせるのですが、静止した状態で逆回転できません。走行中に逆回転させようとするとブレーキです。

I did not like the rooms, even though I upgraded to Premium (with balcony), the room looked cheap and of minor quality
