    The breakfast was outstanding. The only couple of negatives weren't serious, but bear mentioning. The first was that non-gay people were staying there also. In fact, I and my partner were the only gay people there. I don't believe that we should exercise "reverse discrimination" by not allowing straight people to come to our establishments, but it would have been nice simply to know this was a possibility ahead of time. The second thing was that our bed wasn't made and the room wasn't cleaned up. Again, no big deal. It simply would have been nice to know this ahead of time (and perhaps it is mentioned in your blurb, because I know that I skipped over some other important information which I should have read about before our arrival). In spite of these two minor things, I would definitely come again because of the friendly and homey atmosphere.

    Wonderful place to stay

    Recently spent 2 nights at the Hilo Bay Hale.....clean room, very nice bed, excellent breakfasts and wonderful innkeepers. The kitchen reminded me of my grandma's kitchen, which was comforting. If I ever return to Hilo, I will stay here again. Even the frogs at night were fun to listen to.

    Hilo Bay Hale is fantastic B+B right downtown. The Lava Room is spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the tropical deluge showerhead in the shower. The breakfasts were amazing! We'll definitely stay again.

    Is there a better word than Awesome??? Not ones who usually stay in B&B's so wasn't sure what to excpect. The room was very private and relaxing with it's own private lanai that overlooked the Koi pond. Decorated with lots of island history and antiques. Location to downtown... just 3 blocks with lots of restaurants. Now for the breakfast...it was worth the price of the room itself! Matthew is fun and has lots of info re: Hilo and all kinds of places to visit on your way to and from. Only regret is that we did not stay another night and explore more of Hilo.

    Terrific B&B in Hilo

    My husband and I spent our first night here before heading out to discover the rest of the island. It was a terrific choice. The room was comfortable, nicely decorated with a pleasant private lanai. The house is charmingly restored with nice attention to details. Even though we arrived late in the evening everything was perfectly set up for our arrival, and in the morning we met our host, Matthew. The breakfast was delicious, beautiful and substantial. Matthew was welcoming and willing to answer any request. He even offered to drive us to the rental car place when we were not able to get a cab. That's service!
