Wonderful location on the island right at the start of the road to Hana and at the base of the climb to Haleakala. Staying anywhere else on the island would have added another hour to a drive to either of these locations. Our room was well stocked, the sheets clean, the floors immaculate, and the mini-fridge a great touch for storing our personal beverages. Both Howard and his wife have amazing stories, and were wonderful to talk to. The wifi signal was also excellent. Even though this a private room and not an entire home, we felt an added bit of security with our own keypad on the door.
