This location is the absolute best for any Road to Hana travelers! Not only that, if you plan on heading up to Mt. Haleakala, it is also a great starting point as one of the best ways up is through Paia. Paia is 2 minutes away! Mama's beach is also a short 2 minute walk and it's lovely seeing it in the morning when there's no one around. We also saw a resting turtle during one of our visits there. Cloe is also very accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had. The only downside I can see is that it is close to the road. But I'm from a big city so it just made it feel more like home honestly.
