Aloha Junction B&B was a great base for exploring Volcano National Park. The room was clean, Robert was a friendly host, and there are plenty of options for every eater with breakfast. There is also plenty of refrigerator/freezer/kitchen space available to guests if they want to prepare their own meals.
We were able to go in and out of the park and back to the B&B in about 5 minutes, and there are a few cafes within a 5 minute drive. However, the hours for shops and cafes are very limited so you should bring anything you may need from Hilo or another town if you are arriving outside of business hours.
PS - If you have allergies, make sure to double check with Robert before digging into breakfast because our pancakes had macadamia nuts. Not an issue for anyone in our group, but it wasn’t readily apparent and I could see it catching someone off guard.
