Top Hilo Hotel Reviews

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."

"Host was very responsive, property was very comfy and remarkably equipped for our family stay. We hope to be back in November and possibly April of next year! Thank you for such a seamless experience. One suggestion, a monthly or bi-monthly pest treatment for the beetles would be a well spent effort. But it didn’t stop us from enjoying the home. We’re from here and are used to it."
