Arnott's Lodge & Hiking Adventures

The facility was clean and quiet. It is in a nice neighborhood within close driving distance to all of the Hilo attractions. The desk person had helpful suggestions for local restaurants and activities. My wife and I stayed for a weekend, and recommend Arnott's. It's a great pace for under $200 per night.

Great location between beaches and town center; tranquil; clean and well taken care of;lack of TV in suite allowed us to disconnect from world and spend time together;well equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare and enjoy home made meals

A comfortable stay in our campervan. Great amenities and all clean. The staff were all friendly and super helpful. A stone's throw away from the beach. A quiet road off the main road, so pretty peaceful at night.

Great fit for our trip with college students! Outdoor and indoor accommodation was just as we needed. We were are group of 23 and all tours we went to were great! Mauna Kea is a must, as well as Volcano National Park and Lava fields.

Hilo to me is an agreeably funky place and this accommodation is perfectly in line with that impression. It is set a bit away from the city's downtown, such as it is, in a residential area. The property itself must have once been a residence itself, and is divided into two parts, the original lodge and an annex across the street. We stayed our one night in the annex in a double room, which was equipped with its own bathroom, a microwave and lots of storage space, but no television--for that you had to access a common area, which also had a small kitchen. Definitely the place must have once been a house. The front desk is not open all hours and you have to time your arrival to accommodate this, but the staff member we met was extremely friendly and helpful. Arnott's also runs tours to various parts of the island that leave from the premises, one of which (up Mauna Kea to the observatories) we'd accessed several years prior. All in all Arnott's would probably not be your cup of tea if your idea of a Big Island vacation is the glamorous resorts on the Kona side, but for us the laid-back, peaceful atmosphere was perfect.

Very accommodating and friendly service. Perfect for our large student group. Kitchenettes convenient for student group dinners, and walking distance to a few beaches. There is also a great common area for group dinners, group meetings, and evening chill-time. We will be coming back!

Don’t have any because I can’t explain in My own word how wonderful my stay at the Lodge was. Everything I need was there and the place was clean and peaceful. Thanks to the all working hard employee and the management.
