Room and bathroom could offer more amenities. Bathroom and windows could be cleaner. Breakfast could have a better coffee maker offering lattes or cappuccino options. Also food options could be expanded.

Rooms were clean and comfortable. Kitchen area could have been cleaner especially the dirty refrigerator. Excellent location to National park. Few restaurants in the area but very good food. For the price, I would visit again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rooms were clean, breakfast was great with a variety of quick items to grab for breakfast including fresh fruit, oatmeal, pastries, and coffee/tea. Location was perfect…5 minutes to the national park! Some improvement areas: entrance area to hotel/porch could be cleaned up of tools and pet items for better curb appeal. Also, I know it’s a rainforest and thus very humid, but finding a way to decrease the humidity in the rooms would make a more comfortable stay. None of our damp/wet items dried and the fixtures were rusting.

A nice and quiet place. Good location for exploring the national park. The room was spacious and clean, but could use some updating. Breakfast was very basic. The kitchen was helpful.

We needed a place near volcano park and this property filled the bill. I really should have read the information provided by the host to understand the self-check in process. (Multiple messages from all our stays overwhelmed me) Once we squared that away, we found dinner and brought it back to the room and settled in. The night sounds in the forest were great. My only suggestion is the steps be lit up for arrivals after dark.

Convenient to national park. Clean and Quiet location. More of a bed and breakfast style set up. Drive slow entering the property, can get bumpy. Ignore the purple key pad at entrance door, use e-keypad on door. Breakfast is granola bars and packaged pastries as stated. There is a breakfast and lunch deli just around the corner called lighthouse.
