Awesome news! Can't wait to see the renovations or the changes to the golf course that may come. Really if this Hilton can thrive then maybe like kona, tourists will have a few more options to staying here on the hilo side. Being Hilton owned and all, we should be able to sell it easier to say the Asian market where they don't like to stay in shacks. If occupancy is full or high maybe other hotels could follow? Sure would be nice for many hard working locals here in puna to not have to take those long daily bus trips to kona and back for work too.
