I made my reservation two months before our stay in late October. When we arrived late that evening, we were told that our room was being renoated and so we were being "upgraded" to a larger room. The catch--our reservation was for 3... read more

Innkeeper Response
I deeply regret any unpleasant feelings this has caused our guests. We were renovating our property and adding a private Jacuzzi and full wet bar. Upon checking in we informed them that there had been some delays in the renovations and that the Jacuzzi room was not done yet. We did not tell them that the new addition would be ready by their 3rd night. We told them that for 2 nights we could give them the Legacy Suite, which is a huge upgrade from the room they had reserved (Sky Room), but on their last night, we would have to move them to the Sky Room because the Suite was already booked. We showed them both the Sky Room which had a tarp covering the doorway entrance to the Jacuzzi room and the Suite and they said that was fine. The first 2 nights went by and everything was fine, but on the 3rd day when it was time for them to move to the Sky Room, they refused. I wish we had an opening in the Suite for their last night too. We put a tarp between the doorway from the Sky Room to the new addition. We did not do any renovations inside the Sky Room. We refunded them in full for their last night. However her sister who was traveling with her stayed and had no problems at all. I will put pictures of the Sky Room with the new addition. On our web site, We clearly stated that breakfast would not be served for our discounted rates. We usually unlock the main entrance for our guests convenience. This property is in a very prestigious and safe neighborhood. It's too bad we couldn't finish the new addition just a few days earlier so they could enjoy the private Jacuzzi and wet bar. We would like to make it up to our future guests by keeping the Sky Room rate the same $85/ night for now even though the addition is complete. Please see our totally worry free reservation policy on our web site. After a day of exploring the Big Island, have a cocktail and soak in the Jacuzzi. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn from your review so we can improve.

We stopped at Hilltop Legacy for just one night. We arrived at 2 a.m. but as we e-mailed them about this there was a young man waiting for us to let us in. Despite late hour he was extremely kind. Room was very nice. We were a bit surprised that the... read more

We made a hasty reservation for the Legacy Suite at $95/night. We left after being there for about an hour and received no refund (to be fair, that's the policy stated on the site). The website advertises amenities that do not seem to exist, such... read more

A super nice team of father and son. Very friendly but low key, the Lees give you lots of space yet are willing to chat and offer suggestions when asked. We stayed in the Legacy Suite, which had a great view of Hilo Bay. The room was... read more

I feel that anyone coming to Hilo should stop here. The owner and his son comprise two of the nicest and most humble people I have met in the islands. They are willing to talk, joke, and help whenever they can. If I ever go back to Hilo, I will stay... read more
