Kilauea Lodge - Best place to stay in Volcano Park area?
Hello! We've decided to spend our first night in Volcano Village and was wondering if Kilauea Lodge is the best place to do it at? Would you say this is the nicest place in the Volcano park to stay? Thanks so much!

Have only stayed at Kilauea Lodge there in the Village so cannot compare it to others but I can tell you it is WONDERFUL with a great restaurant, one of the best on the island. I can hardly wait to go back again! 
All the travel books give it an excellent review............

If there are just two of you, I would say Kilauea Lodge is the best. We have five in our party so we are renting a house for two nights. If that option appeals to you, I can give you more information about it. Let me know.

...or you could stay in the historic Volcano House, perched on the edge of a dormant caldera. Much as I enjoy Kilauea Lodge -- and gladly make the drive there for dinner -- it's Volcano House for lodging. Old, but clean...and one-of-a-kind:

Kilauea Lodge id wonderful!!! IF there are more than two traveling,
I HIGHLY recommend the cottage they have off-site. I think it is called Tutu's cottage? it was owned by Sophie Tucker's daughter-(old timers willk now the name.) NOt sure of price now--I was there in Summer 2000. (Ashley, for a family of 5, that cottage is perfect!! ) Tutu's Cottage has all the benefits (eg bkfast) at the Lodge.
The rooms in the annex building right next door are lovelly (the housekeeper let us peak in after guests had left) nice, and the main lodge lobby, with its huge fireplace, is great,. Excellent choice! Also agree--nix Volcano House. IMHO,disappointing (compared to Kilauea Lodge) public area, despite very unique location. I've heard from friends who lived nearby 30 yrs ago, that its lost lots of its charm and "mana" from yrs ago.
