On Wednesday, April 28, 2021, officers from the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE), the Hawaiâi County Police Dept. and the State Dept. of Public Safety Sheriffs Division conducted a sweep of all 146 rooms at the former Uncle Billyâs Hilo Bay Hotel.
While the officers did not find anyone on the property, there was evidence that many of the rooms had been recently occupied. Officers found trash, clothing, and bedding scattered about as well as graffiti scrawled on doors and on both interior and exterior walls. The interior of the hotel is considered a public health hazard and people are cautioned to stay out.
