Good clean place for the night before flight home

Room was very clean and kitchen was more well appointed than I expected. I would have preferred a drip coffee maker vs. the Keurig as we had coffee making supplies. Location/neighborhood - Not the location you want to be in as a holiday spot. On a noisy/busy road in somewhat of an industrial/business district. It served it's purpose for us as a place to sleep before heading out to our flight the next day. The Coach Sakamoto public pool right around the corner is fantastic!!! As a daily swimmer, this was just perfect. Thank you Uncle

My wife and two children were staying at our resort in Lahaina when the wild fires broke out. On 8/10 we secured flight for 8/12 which left us looking for a room outside of the affected areas for 8/11 and possibly beyond. Thank God we were able to get this room. The owner was so kind. The location was safe and convenient. After days of very little food, we had breakfast at a very good local spot(Tasty Crust) about a mile up the road, Also, There was this little convenience store across the street from the hotel that made nice local food. We brought their Bento boxes and spam and hot dog musubi to the airport the next day. Thank God we were able to get home safely. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Locals who were affected by this tragic event.

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. 🌈🤙
