Very ‘old school’ facility that’s been around 50+ years… but, is simple, clean and very nice staff!!! Close by to downtown Hilo and is in a residential area. The fresh coffee, papaya & banana bread in the morning was very ono!!! We’ll definitely stay here again with our ohana on our next weekend trip to Hilo.

We love staying at the Dolphin Bay Hotel. It is conveniently located near many places we visit, the staff is wonderful, and the rooms are simple but roomy. We also enjoy how peaceful the neighborhood is and a big bonus is getting fresh coffee, banana bread and fruit every morning. Parking is easy, the WiFi is 5G so accessing devices is super quick.

Neighborhood is a little questionable. Some possible homelessness. Staff are kind and attentive. The building has maintained a sense of culture. Coffee banana bread and a whole papaya for breakfast was appreciated. Appliances are old but functional. Noise carries but it's ok because it's part of the experience.
