1. I realize most people would think that the lack of a smoke detector isn't a big deal, but I know it is against the law and a very poor oversight on management's part.

2. The lack of air conditioning is not a major problem as long as the whir of fans doesn't bother you.

9. But when you consider that certain better Hilo hotels along Banyan Drive have similar rates AND A/C (which the Dolphin lacks) it certainly doesn't appear quite the bargain.
