Located in Keaau, 20 km from Lava Tree State Monument, Ocean Breeze Inn provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities.

We came to visit family and this was the perfect place to spend the night but go to their house for gatherings. The ocean breeze and surf crashing was very calming. The walks along the cliffs were great.

    The room was spacious, the private bathroom was beautiful. Large shower, double vanity sinks. The room and house were very clean. There was a small comfortable setting room and a very nice Lanai. There were two spacious closets. A large flat-screen TV with good reception. The owner was very gracious. The guest parking was at the front door, very convenient. The location is close to town, a plus.

    The Hilo Hawaiian hotel had everything we needed for a great 3 night stay. We booked the cheapest room but it was still a big room with a good bed. We liked the bathroom setup, where the shower and toilet were separate from the basin. The air conditioner was a little noisy but it didn't affect our sleep. Heaps of free car parking, nice to not deal with a valet.

    The location and views were excellent. It's a great spot to sit outside and enjoy a beer in the late afternoon. From Hilltop we were a few minutes walk (downhill) to central Hilo and in under an hour drive to the Mauna Kea observatory, Waipi'o, Kalapan and Volcanoes National Park. The house was very clean and there was option for a daily room service. The resident cat was a wonderful host and one who, I like to think, became a good friend.
