Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Was there for a conference and stayed through the hurricane. I cannot express enough gratitude for the excellent staff at Grand Naniloa. From the kitchen - yes still catering and offering clean water, to the engineers to the front desk to the valet and cleaning crews. This was a stressful time for everyone around the islands and especially for Hawaii! This hotel did a great job keeping us all informed, safe, fed and hydrated through a wild weekend. Sure it would have been nice to "use more amenities," but watching the hotel operate as a well oiled machine during a storm was magic. Glow sticks during the power outage was cherry on top! Thank you for welcoming evacuees and guests with aloha and flexibility! You have my business for life!"

"This is a dated property. But the staff make up for it. The amenities are solid. The power went out but that was due to the hurricane. They didn't have a generator. That needs to be addressed. I would stay here again."

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was absolute perfection. There was plenty of space for the entire family, accompanied by gorgeous ocean views and daily visits from local sea turtles. The location could not be better—it served as a convenient base for day trips to both Hilo and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The property had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and effortless vacation. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

"From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. The room was great and spacious. It does get cold at night, but there is a portable heater in the room. The staff was literally a text away. I didn't want for anything. John was very pleasant and a joy to talk to. I will definitely put this on my hotels to stay at again."
