Pleasantly surprised by our spacious oceanfront kitchenette room which overlooked the pool. It was stocked really well and ... was very clean. Close to airport, restaurants, swimming places and everywhere we needed to be. Parking was okay even though the hotel was sold out. Continental breakfast was great. I would definitely stay here again. Only negative was the pool. It looked mossy green and uninviting even though we could smell the chlorine. Couldn't go in there. Our hotel neighbor's pool looked crystal clear out of our front door.

Several places to shop were within walking distance, as well as a small beach and a lovely park area.

There were lots of things to see, but most involved a drive of at least 45 minutes, some longer if you wanted to drive to the Kona side of the Island. You just have to get out and explore. The weather is nice, with the occasional shower.
--Charles, Los Angeles, CA Aug 9, 2007
The airport is only about 2 miles from the airport, but you would never know it because you don't hear the planes. This is also convient for acessessing the tour planes and helicopters that give flights over the island. We took a flight and I'm glad we did. It is the best way to see lava flowing and steaming craters on the island.

Wanted two beds. Got one bed and a sleeper sofa which was springs with a sheet on it. I had to beg for a different room and ... then they tried to put us in a smoking room. Finally got a room with two beds with no smoke smell. Then everything was pretty good.

Great location.
Janet Jun 17, 2008
The hotel is old and in disrepair, but comfortable enough. My visit there was not a bad experience, but I don't know that I ... would recommend it to any one else. The staff expected the guests to leave early and return late. They were a little rude when I tried napping every afternoon and they wanted three or four hours to wander in and out while they cleaned.

A Good Value
Charles Aug 9, 2007
Uncle Billy's was an enjoyable stay for the most part. The room had a nice view, partial ocean, and of the greenery outside. ... The only drawback to the room was the size and firmness of the beds. A little short, and on the soft side. The Continental breakfast was very nice, it provided all I needed for busy mornings. The restaurant had excellent food for evening dining, at competitive prices. It was nice having the General Store on the premises to purchase necessities. Banyon Drive was a very scenic area. The only problem on the outside was the lack of parking. It would be nice if Uncle Billy's could share the underground lot of the Hilo Hawaiian nextdoor.

Welcome to Old Hawaii
Kim Aug 5, 2007
We arrived at the hotel past midnight so there was no parking at the hotel. We had to park on the street about a half block ... away. Get there early if possible. It seems to be a common problem with all the hotels in this area. The room was clean and comfortable with a small balcony. The beds were comfortable and we got a good night's rest. Breakfast was filling and complementary to hotel guests. There was lots of fresh papaya and Kona Coffee! There were baskets of flowers with signs that said Take one and We did. Be sure to take a walk around the grounds. There are lots of ponds and flowering plants to look at. At the back of the hotel is Hilo Bay where you can stand and lets the waves lap on your feet. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I will stay again when I make it back to Hilo. The hotel is a bit of what I think Old Hawaii must have been like with lots of wicker, tropical prints, and personality. It definitely is not your standard chain hotel! Thank goodness!

Robert Jul 25, 2007
I travel on business and tend to stay at less expensive hotels. This hotel is cheap and it reflects cheap. Mold and rust in ... the bathroon, stained carpet and water damaged ceiling. Walls between rooms were paper thin. Like the old Paul Simon's song, the people in the next room were bound to win a prize, they were going at it all night long i am very hard of hearing, I wear hearing aids, and if I can hear people talking in the next room without my hearing aids in, then there is not any sound insulation between the rooms. The only thing that saved the night was that the airconditioner was so noisy that it helped drown out the neighbors. I have stayed at many other hotels in Hawaii in the same price range but this was the worse. I would only stay there again if it were the last resort available.

The a/c was a tiny noisy wall unit and I had no view .The place felt unsafe and cheap. the breakfast was a joke and I could'nt wait to get to Kailua-Kona to our condo.

I liked the location, the hotel it self reminded me of a very old un-kept apartment. Parking is terrible, however the staff ... was very nice. The thing is I'd stay in a tent if I had to because the island is so beautiful. I found spots there that I swear I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

My advice would just drive and get yourself lost. It is how I found the most stunning spots on the island. There are far to many cool places to name.
