April was a fantastic communicator which made all the difference. We decided to book a single night right when we got to the volcano because I really didn't want to repeat the drive back to Kona late at night. Super last minute. April gave us all the info we needed and made a great dinner suggestion as well. The self check-in with the combo lock allowed us to roll in after 10 PM and go right to sleep. Comfy beds and a beautiful spot that I wish we could have stayed in for longer, clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. And the jungle sounds and cool air we're a great change from the humidity and cars in Kona!
My only quibble is that the cleaning fee is a significant percentage of the total cost for a single night, but it is reasonable compared to the going rate and would be a better deal for a longer stay. All told, no regrets, it made our volcano trip much better: we got to see Nahuku completely empty and saw the eruption from the best spot after the crowds died down, and could take the long way home to check out the Hilo farmers market and points north.
