This is a very rundown version of a hostel. Dirty, old with very outdated facilities. The pictures showed in your website must be at least 40 years ago.

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.
