We just stayed for one night and were glad we did. If you want to see the lava in the crater, this is the right location. We were able to stay late and get up early to see the lava in darkness, which was really special. After a long day hiking in Volcano NP, it was wonderful to have a hot shower nearby. Kitchen had everything we needed: blender, solid pots and pans, basic cooking staples (butter, salt, hot sauce) plus fun extras!
