Very convenient spot to swim the turtles by driving for a few minutes towards the airport, a great breakfast with fruits and homemade cakes, overall a very good deal if you enjoy staying in a vintage building with a bit reduced comfort

I love the Wild Ginger Inn, I grew up here on the Big Island so the plantation style rooms feel just like home for me. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but if your looking for a room, place to shower, and clean comfortable bed for an affordable price it does the job.

Very friendly owner and staff. Very personal. The hotel has a lot of charm even though it is older. It also has newly renovated rooms. You feel like you are right in the jungle, even though it is only a 5-minute walk to the city center. If you like history, this hotel is perfect.
