Cute and quiet hotel next to the water! I didn’t get to use the amenities included with the resort fee, but it included paddle boards and bike rentals. The little mart in the lobby was open 24/7, offering snacks and refreshments. Ample amount of parking available. Friendly staff! Would stay here again.

We found the hotel to be clean, well kept landscaping for being an older established buildings. The pool area was beautiful, as well as, the Koi pond. The banyan park and Japanese garden, in the area, was beautiful to walk. The amenities suggested wouldn’t be something we would have been interested in trying. I thought the resort fee was too high and uncalled for.

My fiancé and I stayed in this property on our last day in Big Island. Conveniently located 5 min away from the airport, so we had plenty of time to savor up any time we had left over on the island. There are a few local places to eat within walking distance. There is a bay across the street where you can watch kids having fun and jumping off in the water or you can stroll for a nice sunset walk. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The experience overall felt really nostalgic. I grew up in a small town like Hilo, so it felt nice to feel a little piece of home there.

We had booked a room down the street at Reed’s Hotel, and it was so gross we left. My friend told us about the SCP and it was such a breath of fresh air! It was clean, everyone was super nice and they had great extras! We got up early and took the paddle boards out on the bay, came back and used the beach cruiser to go downtown for breakfast. The pool was pleasant, and the koi pond was lovely. I would definitely stay here again!

The staff on check in and check out are very friendly and made it a breeze. The lobby area is very nice and several guests and families chose of it to be their nightly hangout area playing cards and board games. The rooms are quiet with comfortable beds. There is on site free parking behind the hotel that makes if convenient and easy to get to your vehicle. They have free rentals on bikes and paddle boards for easy access to the bay and surrounding areas. This was a nice remodeled motel that adds modern touches to an old school charm.

As a family with two adults and two teenagers, we appreciated the room with three beds. We really enjoyed the pool and the standup paddle boards. Also enjoyed the complimentary coffee, which was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
