Uncle Billy's Hilo Bay Hotel

Frommer's Review

Uncle Billy's is one of the least expensive place to stay along Hilo's hotel row, Banyan Drive. This oceanfront budget hotel boasts a dynamite location, and the car/room package offers an extra incentive to stay here. You enter via a tiny lobby, gussied up Polynesian style; it's slightly overdone, with sagging fishnets and tapa (bark cloth) on the walls. The guest rooms are simple: bed, TV, phone, closet, and bathroom -- that's about it. The walls seem paper thin, and it can get very noisy at night (you may want to bring ear plugs), but at these rates, you're still getting your money's worth.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar w/hula show nightly; oceanfront outdoor pool; activities desk; coin-op washer/dryers
