The place has changed significantly in the last two or three years. I stayed there in August for 4 nights and had a great time. Parking is a bit of an issue but it's free and you can drive up to the reception area to offload or load your bags. The rates were similar to the Hilo Hawaiian and the rooms, if a little unusual, had been renovated and had a/c, free and reliable wifi, and a very comfortable bed. The staff was super nice. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
PS. I should add that I stayed in the same place a few years ago, I think it was shortly after Iselle and suspect what I experienced was similar to Oink's. It's much better now.
