Maui Beach Hotel, Kahului

After a long day fighting the airlines and being rerouted all over we ended up spending a night here thinking a night in Maui would be better than getting into our final destination incredibly late. We couldn't have been been more wrong. The up side of the hotel has to be the friendliness of the staff and proximity to the airport. Aside from that there isn't much to recommend. The rooms are very small and not some place you'd want to spend any amount of time. After only an hour or so here we'd already started trying to find out if we could get an earlier flight out of town. There isn't any way that there has been a recent renovation of the facility (as indicated in another review) as everything looks to be from the early 80's. The hotel is located on a busy main street in town and you can hear the road from your room. That is if the jet engine of an AC unit doesn't drown out the cars. The busy road also means that almost everything is a huge problem to walk to. You'd expect a place with "beach" in its name to be close to the beach. It's located on the bay looking out at the harbor and shipping traffic. We weren't able to find anything resembling a beach within walking distance. In fact to get any where you'll need a car. Which is really what this place amounts to, an upscale motel. If you have your own transportation and only need a cheep place to crash the place is OK. For anything else I'd steer clear. You get what you pay for as they say.

~Despite our late arrival, our room was not ready for us. ~When we were eventually given a room, we were somewhat surprised to discover that the bathroom had no door on it. Not only was there no door, but the toilet was fully visible from the outside door to the room. We didn't realize what a inconvenience this would be until I left the room for ice and had to wait until my husband had finished using the bathroom to re-enter the room. ~After one use of the toilet, it backed up and despite our calls to the front desk for maintenance, it remained unusable for the duration of our stay. ~The carpeting in the room was filthy -- sticky to the touch and I was disgusted to find the bottoms of my feet were blackened after walking across the floor just enough to move our suitcases from near the door to a location nearer the bed. Needless to say, I, my husband, and my son wore our shoes for the remainder of our stay. ~Our room was described as having a queen-sized bed. Since our bed at home is queen-sized, we were unpleasantly surprised to discover that my husband was unable to stretch out on the bed without his feet dangling off the end. At 6"1", a standard queen sized bed should be more than adequate in length to support him comfortably while sleeping. ~Our frustrations and criticisms of the room upon check-out were met with a response of "Well, that's your opinion." ~All in all, a thoroughly unpleasant experience. We certainly would not stay there again, nor would we recommend it to anyone else.

Maui Beach was recently renovated ($4 mil). We had rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors. Rooms looked like they were very newly renovated, very nicely done. No old smells or old carpets or outdated bathrooms. Although the rooms are a little small (including the shower - a 200# person would be a tight fit) they are comfortable and very quiet. Although our room was classified as a GARDEN room we had a good view of the ocean. Great location in Kahului, close to shopping centers and restaurants. There are safes in the room as well as refrigerator, and internet service. Too bad there is no microwave or coffee maker but that is minor

Good proximity to airport and shopping.... facilities are old however, convenient... Rooms smelled a bit with odor ( humidity )... Parking inconvenient(later in the day) after being out sight seeing ... Housekeeping hopefully will keep up with the clean carpets, bed mattresses and sheets...(hope no bedbugs have arrived) Thank you from Seattle...

I loved that it was clean and had a peaceful view of the harbour and the ships and was near all the shops and had an airport shuttle too.I loved the kiosk for my morning coffee and a laundry for washing and wireless internet facilities. I was visiting Kahului to see a friend and I would love to go there again and I would definatley stay at this hotel again. I have no complaints at all about this hotel. I found it clean and comfy and convenient.:)

Nice, clean, great people. nice shuttle ride and promp!! Pool is there but a bit cool!! buffet breakfast nothing to brag about but great place for 1 night stay before or after.

I found it to be very clean, the staff nice and everything very convenient. I cant wait to go back again...and after reading some reviews of this hotel, I was pleasantly surprised.I had no problems at all.

Well you pay for what you get. If you price other hotels on Maui it ranges from $150-400 and the location is at least a 30 minute drive from the town. Staff very friendly and helpfull. All you have to do is ask politely not demand things. Room has a icebox. Hotel is in town area near restaurants and mall.

had to go out into the hall to change my mind. clean but small, shower to small for most larger people, no view, food expensive and so-so.

It was very old, and the decor was drab and dark.
