Great place to stay right in the heart of Hilo. Whaler's Inn earns its name; part of the enjoyment of staying here is discovering all the little nautical details throughout the house. For example, the drainer basket in the kitchen sink has a little whale on it; later in the stay, I noticed that the TP dispenser was a whale's tail. Very fun, and always in good taste. Recommended.

Great stay, exactly what we needed for our time in Hilo. The A/C is window units, which worked well. We chose to have the windows closed and use the A/C since it was very rainy at night. Beautifully decorated, attention to detail, clean, and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
