Lahaina Inn

In the Heart of Lahaina, without the bells and whistles.

We made the trip to Maui for a wedding, and left our kids with their grandparents. Watching our budget was essential for us, and the Lahaina Inn fit the bill. We wanted a clean, safe place to lay our weary heads, but weren’t looking for too many amenities, as we planned to spend most of our time OUT of our hotel. 1/2 block from the ocean, and right off the main street of Lahaina, the Inn has a street floor lobby, and all the rooms upstairs are off one long hallway. We upgraded to a suite, and were glad for the extra space. Every room has a balcony with rocking chairs, and we drank our coffee each morning outside. There’s a large TV in the common room, and wireless internet. The Inn offers some snorkeling gear, beach matts, and other items to borrow during your stay. This inn does NOT offer bells and whistles - no pool or hot tub, no TV in the room, small rooms, and parking is a modest extra daily fee and located up the block. Because you’re ’downtown’, there is street noise @6am as the restaurants and stores stock up for the day. But we found we could quickly fall back asleep. (we were on the street side). BUT WE LOVED IT. Friendly staff, clean rooms with charming furniture, and we loved being able to walk down the stairs and be in the middle of it all. Not a place for kids, and there is no elevator. But if you plan to spend most of your time out of the hotel, this is a great choice!

Take a look at the free coupon books that are available - take some time to really study them - and then pick up more if you find a good coupon. We found a deal for 2-for-1 breakfast at a local spot. We ate a big breakfast for 2 for under $10 (not inc. tip), ’snacked’ for lunch from the grocery store, and were able to cut back on our food bill significantly. Also, ask locals for ideas and directions. You can find amazing snorkeling spots teaming with aquatic life on many beaches - so save yourself the big bucks that a boat trip would cost!

Room smaller then my Masterbath..

Almost all rooms in hotel are very very small. I am not fan of big space but this one is tiny. You cant even stretch your legs. Also, there is $7 for parking that I found out once I reached the hotel. So, count it against another hotel giving you good room with slightly higher rate where parking is free. The room i Stayed was too noisy outside balcony and it was facing worst view ever. Some other building’s exhaust fans were outside my balcoly. :) I never ever recommend this place for couple who is going to Maui for Leisure. This will ruin it..

Great Place

was a little nervous staying here b/c we had a few rude encounters from staff on the phone before arriving. once we got there however, the staff was very friendly and very helpful! was very satisfied with lahaina inn! would recommend this place and would also stay here again.
