Had a very nice stay at Maureen's Bed and Breakfast in Hilo. The house is huge, and if you don't mind sharing a bathroom, it's a great place to stay. Maureen makes a wonderful breakfast with juice, fresh fruit, and pancakes or waffles with a plethora of Hawaiian-inspired syrups to try. The house is in close proximity to local beaches with great snorkeling, waterfalls, the botanical gardens, and the downtown area. Maureen also supplies beach towels and other accouterments if you are planning to spend a day at the beach.
