Grand Naniloa Hotel - a DoubleTree by Hilton {US-HI}
Finally, a Hilton property on the East side of the Big Island in Hilo. This used to be the Hilo Naniloa Hotel and major renovations are underway. Now we have another option in addition to the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel. ^

Not operating as a Doubletree until March, 2016?
The recent responses to TripAdvisor reviews by the General Manager of this hotel indicate that it will not operate as a Doubletree until March of 2016 now.

I booked a standard room with bay view using points and money/fifth night free. Not sure what the difference is between 'bay view' and 'harbor view' (maybe higher floor?). Would at least like a one category upgrade to a room with a lanai.
