Yes, it's rundown and a little dirty, but my a/c worked great and there were no bugs in my room.
very island feels which is exactly what i liked, and being there for a weekend the only time we spent was 8 hours sleeping in the room.
i'm sure you'd get a better deal with priceline but even full rate is cheap.
i've stayed in south kihei for the amount i spent on maui lu and the south kihei hotel was a third the size.

Stayed there in 2002. When we first arrived to our room was extremely dissapointed as it was a garden view room. The room smelled, old a/c unit, dirty carpet, horrible view. So we upgraded to the ocean side and had a great time. Steps from your own private beach, sliding glass door to patio with ocean view, very quiet and secluded, perfect for what me and my fiance were looking for.

WE STAYED THERE IN JULY AND JUST LOVED IT. IT WAS PERFECT FOR OUR MINI VACATION. I WORK IN A SMALL HOTEL AND LOVE THE FACT THAT IT IS SMALL. YOU ONLY USE YOUR ROOM FOR SLEEPING AND BATHING. WHAT'S THE SENSE IN CMING ALL THE WAY TO HAWAII IF UR ONLY GOING TO STAY IN YOUR ROOM. IF YOU WANT MORE THEN SPEND MORE AT A RITZY HOTEL AND LEAVE THESE ...

the hotel was rundown. carpets were bad. lighting was poor. a old a/c unit . had a bucket out catch the water. walls needed painting. toilet seat was loose. the wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling. there was begbugs. i wouldn't stay here again.

PLEASE DO NOT STAY THERE,IT IS VERY DIRTY PLACE.WAY OVERPRICED.YOU WILL RUIN YOUR VACATION!I AM A TOUR GUIDE FROM OAHU.I'VE SEEN A LOT OF DIFFERENT HOTELS,BUT THIS ONE WAS SOMETHING....IF YOU DON'T TRUST ME JUST ASK THEM TO SEE THE ROOM FIRST, I DOUBT YOU'LL WANT TO STAY!!!!!

Just got back from Maui, couldn't stay the night at this place...very dirty, unkept, furniture falling apart...very disappointed.
My dog stayed in a cleaner place than this.
Not recommended, knew there was something wrong...you get what you pay for....

I liked that we got a room right on the ocean. (which, of course, was extra). However, the facility itself has seen better days. It is very dated and some things are in dis-repair. Bathroom in poor condition, huge cock roach was laying on its back there in the morning, covered in red ants. It was non smoking. Parking lot was hard to get into ...

This is a 3 story building with an elevator on only one side of an "H" configuration. I dod not like lugging heavy suitcases down the long corridor ion the non-elevator side. There are also cottages around the grounds.

You walk to a very narrow, but uncrowded, beach. I never saw the "beach" building mentioned in reviews. ...

We stayed there October 2006. The room was large 2 full sized beds, small refrig, great for cheap meals. Only microwave is in lobby as well as coffee maker. But if you stop at Walmart after the airport, buy a coffee pot/microwave, keep receipt and return it when you leave (rent free!)
We go on a budget, as you can see. Save big money for ...
