We just got back from Maui. Sorry, stayed in a timeshare. Can't help you with accommodations.
For the Road to Hanna, Drive straight to the 7 Sacred Pools (it's a little ways past Hanna), then make all your stops on the way back. This way you drive past all the tourists in the morning and the 7 Sacred Pools is not busy. This is also where you hike in the Bamboo forest. Then when you're making your stops on the way back it won't be very busy as all the tourists are at the 7 Sacred Pools.
You can download a very informative "Guided Tour App." Search for Gypsyguide Maui-RH.
If you're going to Haleakala, wake up early and go for the sunrise. It's something you can't describe, pictures don't do it justice. Imagine watching a Sunrise above the clouds with a mountain/volcano/crater as the backdrop.
Make sure you're there at least an hour before sunrise to beat the crowd and get a good spot. Don't stare at the sunrise either as you can burn your retina's, plus you'll miss out as there's lots to see all around you while the sun comes up.
