I highly recommend staying at Arnott’s. Not only was the lodge clean and comfortable. The staff was absolutely amazing. They go out of their way to make sure you have the best experience here in Hilo. If you have the chance to sit and coffee with Doug (the owner), you won’t regret it!

I was here for a work conference and needed a clean, safe place while spending the day at my meetings. My room was one of six in a cottage. Immaculate, everything worked fine, bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge and coffee maker, but the cottage also had a full kitchen. Other folks shared the common space and kitchen, but quiet at night.

Arnott's Lodge is a quiet, cozy home away from home. The staff were so friendly. We stayed in a studio. Parking was right outside your private entrance so very easy to unload luggage. The studio had air conditioning, a large kitchen island, a 2 burner stovetop, mini fridge, toaster, microwave and utensils. It was so nice to be able to cook our own meals. The private bathroom had a large shower. The bed was our favorite part. Firm but oh so comfortable after a long day of exploring. The beach is a 3 minute walk down to the end of the road. It's a tiny beach entrance and was never crowded. This lodge is extremely close to the Hilo airport and it can be very loud when planes are landing so be aware if you are a light sleeper. We will definitely be staying here again when in Hilo.

Well it was okay, but did not like the fact you are suppose to leave a 200 dollar deposit upon arrival that was not mentioned when you book the room, n it's shared kitchen, n tv, and the room was musty smelling. And then you are afraid of using the bathroom toilette b cuz it might come unattached from the wall.

This is a property well suited for campers and backpackers, who seem to be their target clientele. It offers yard space for pitching a tent, plus outdoor showers and toilets for them. I had a one bedroom suite with living room, kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom. Very clean but dated furnishings and decor. Not even a single TV in the place. Never encountered that before. And very limited amenities in the bathroom. No facial tissues, one tiny bar of soap that disintegrated the first shower, left me using liquid hand soap to shower with the second day, and I ran out of toilet paper. At check-in, I was told the trash would be removed from my room daily. That didn’t happen for me. My biggest issue is location. There is nothing to walk to from the property except a seaside park. Shopping and dining are a ride away. Unless you’re fine walking a couple miles to go eat.
