Maui
Beach Hotel
- The Maui Beach Hotel is one of the closest hotels
to the Kahului Airport and is perfect for an overnight
stay.
Do stay here
for your first night on Maui, you will be tired and
grabbing the nearest bed is a good idea. Do not stay
at the Maui Beach Hotel for the duration of your visit
to Maui.
It is located
right on the highway, offers budget accommodations and
is conveniently located to the main business districts
of Kahului and Wailuku ... a great jumping off spot
to tour both sides of the island and stock up on travel
supplies.
You will
find the Queen Kahumanu Mall and the Maui War Memorial
Stadium all within a 5 minute drive away from the hotel
as well.
This is an old hotel so check
with them about their ongoing renovations when you book
your stay here.
Some early check in allowed
and they allow a "quick check out" slot at the front
desk to drop your keys in for your convenience.
The Maui Beach offers free parking,
free internet service and a coin Laundromat.
There isn't any beach access,
so if you want to get wet, swim in the pool as this
hotel is close to the harbor where the cruise ships
dock.
The restaurant and bar food
are excellent but if you want morning coffee, you'll
need to get it at nearby shop.
The rooms are more like those
of a motel than a hotel and have a college "dorm room"
feel to it.
They are clean, small and comfortable
with modest and spartan decor and accommodations.
They have a refrigerator and
cable TV and some of them have partial renovations.
The view from your room will
look onto the hotel's interior courtyard and onto the
Kahului Bay.
There is plenty of good food
available within walking distance of the hotel.
The hotel staff is friendly
and full of smiles but the service seems to vary on
what they are capable of doing while you are there.
If you have trouble with your
car rental, the bell desk clerk might be nice enough
to offer to drive you to the airport to get the problem
fixed. If you request
extra towels, you'll probably get them in 5 minutes.
Although more renovations are
needed, this hotel attracts tourists interested in simplicity,
travel convenience, a short stay and a reasonable price.
