Reviews of Ocean Breeze Inn
Robert Koo
I had a great time staying at Ocean Breeze Inn and Andy is a nice and very helpful guy. I stayed for two weeks and the hotel room accommodated a regenerator and a microwave. Andy also provided us with a rice cooker. It is a short walking distance to Point Makuu which offers amazing ocean view, and we walk daily to say "Good Morning" to the Pacific Ocean. And we walked for about 30 minutes at t...

We found this place by accident. We stayed at this place for 2 weeks. The room is very clean with full bath and balcony. You can hear birds singing and ocean tide at night. The yard is beautiful with flowers and fruit trees. Makulu point is only a few steps away, great place to see the ocean, sun rise, and relax. Paradise Cliff is a short walk. Hilo is just a short drive for restaurants, stores....

I booked Ocean Breeze very last minute after discovering my Airbnb Hilo booking was not safe. I used a reputable booking site, Booking.com. Andy responded in less than 30 minutes.

I called Andy and he met me within minutes to greet me and let me know where the keys were. I have ...

If I were able to give 0/5 stars, I would. I can't leave a review on the rooms because I was never able to step foot inside one. I had made a reservation through the Hopper app. They sent me a confirmation email saying that check in was open from 4pm to 11:30pm. There was no one at the inn when we showed up at 10pm after our flight. We knocked on several doors with no answer. We were left 30 minut...
