Check in was a disaster. Key was NOT left where specified. Took an additional 1 hour 15 minutes to get ahold of hotel staff only to get a key to a different room. The sheets appeared to not have been changed so I reversed the bedspread and slept on top. All in all I would rate this experience a 2 out of 10.

This inn shows its age but has character & well-located. Our ocean view room’s sunset view was spectacular. Window screens did the trick as no insects in sight. Hilo’s frogs serenaded us to sleep.

This is a hostel at best, use of the word “hotel” is not only inaccurate, but outright misleading and fraudulent. This “hotel” is run down and unsafe and not only needs to be removed from booking systems but shut down. The area this place is in felt unsafe, and we were worried about our car being left in the parking lot. After booking we received a email stating: 1. The Wild Ginger Inn is an old, Hawaiian-style Hotel and not a luxury resort. The building is full of history, character and aloha. It is truly a unique Hawaiian experience and we are excited to share it with you. While I was not expecting a luxury resort, this “Hawaiian style hotel” that is branded “it has history and built in 1911” is exactly what your getting.. a place that has been allowed to continue business with nothing being renovated or kept up to safety code since 1911. The stairs were shot (was surprised luggage didn’t go through them) The gardens are overgrown and decrepit. The room had no fire smoke alarm and a bathroom door that either would not shut or if slammed closed you need the help of someone to kick it open or be trapped in the bathroom that had no hot water… The bed had 1 top sheet and no blanket to keep warm and the noise of other guests that had also been scammed by booking this place filled the hallway. The photos do not match the reality of what this place actually is. This place needs to be shut down and reported. DO NOT STAY HERE..

Absolute dump, should be condemned. At best it is a hostel, not a hotel. Ocean view room faces noisy highway so don’t bother upgrading. Overgrown vegetation growing into windows and plexiglass replacing missing window panes. Spray foam in window gaps! Electricity is not grounded in bathroom. Internet in common area upstairs only, no service or tv in rooms. We tried to wait for the promised breakfast but that too was late. We have never been happier to leave a place. Even friendly staff can’t help this place, it seriously should be closed down for safety reasons.

The property is described as unique old Hawaiian hotel, it is clean but unmaintained, would not recommend for more than a one night stay. No hot water, windows that do not close, bathroom door that did not stay closed, no TVs or air conditioning, very limited WI-FI signal and service desk staff. Shared the room with spiders, flying bugs and a gecko in one of the windows.

It’s not for everyone I liked the simple back in time concept of no phone ,tv or mechanical ac you didn’t need it It will give you time to be grounded from the fast pace world we live in The frogs are obnoxious but that’s nature wear some ear plugs
