Our property features private studio-style suites, each thoughtfully designed for simplicity, convenience, and value.

ADA-accessible units and additional bedding options are available to accommodate a variety of travel needs.

What makes Waena Inn special is its central location and local character. Just 8–12 minutes from OGG Kahului Airport and 5–10 minutes from Maui Memorial Medical Center, Kaiser, and other medical facilities, our inn is especially appreciated by traveling nurses, visiting families, business guests, and travelers who want easy access to explore the island.

Nice little place

Second-floor walk-up, twin beds. Very clean and cozy, all amenities were in good shape. The room is on a busy street, but road noise was minimal with the A/C on. Very good value for money.

Uncle Tony and his staff are incredibly helpful. The units are spotless and have everything you could need. The location is very central and a super short drive from the airport. The price is reasonable and they are super accommodating and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend staying at Uncle Tony’s. I hope to go back!

The units are very, very clean. Uncle Tony and the other employees are very nice and helpful. The little kitchenette is stocked with everything you may need, including plug-in skillets and griddles, coffee maker, cups, dishes and utensils. Located in an industrial area but very centrally located to airport, shopping. Price is comparable to low end hotels that are not as nice. Highly recommended.

Aloha 🌺

I’m a long-time kamaʻāina (local) here in Hawaiʻi and help run our family-owned, small lodging inn here on Maui. My wife and I are raising our five children who were all born and raised on the island. We feel very fortunate to live here and to call Maui home.

Maui is a beautiful and special place, and as many visitors learn, the cost of living here is among the highest in the country — especially housing. Your choice to stay with a local family-run business directly supports our community and helps us continue to provide comfortable, welcoming accommodations for travelers.
From our ʻohana to yours, mahalo for supporting local and choosing to stay with us. We look forward to sharing the spirit of Aloha with you during your visit. 🌈🤙
