Sadly, best of the three hotels I stayed at. Avoid Wild Ginger at all costs! This was just a a room. Biggest issue was the common kitchen area attached to the room. Noisy early. Less airport noise here. Cool cove down the street. No real issues.

Great cottage as a home base for Big Island touring. Close to airport and services like gas and grocery (walmart) and Kens Pancake House. Did not have a washrag so had to buy one but no big deal. Comfy bed mattresses in queen double #8. Good pillows. Has provided coffee maker and soap provided in shower with pumps. Communal Kitchenette in separate structure with all amenities. Could use some fresh paint from bumps and nicks on corners and trim but not bad; just regular use. AC blows could to dehumidify if needed. Tree peepers/frogs are quite present but I enjoyed their sound from dusk until dawn. Ample parking and easy to get in and out. Walls are a little thin so please be conscious of neighbours during quiet hours. No problems with our stay. If you want a Hilo stay without big crowds, Aarons Cottage fits the bill. Its all you without the hassle of people and crowds at a hotel.

There were 2 walkable beaches and it is located close to the airport. The community kitchen was convenient. The walls are a bit thin so you can hear neighbors. The staff was helpful.

We stayed in cottage number 4 and it was just what we needed. There were 3 of us, and there was plenty of room, a nice large bathroom, and air conditioning which we really appreciated on some days. The kitchen is small but we didn’t cook, only made coffee. The grounds are pretty, and the walk to the beach is short and the beach and offshore rocks are very pretty. Covered parking was available, and it was a nice quiet place.

I liked the personalized entry, easy parking and walking distant to the shoreline. Everyone was very nice.
