About this property

Unit 23 Waena Inn - Maui Private Suite

Waena Inn offers a comfortable and authentic Maui lodging experience in the historic town of Wailuku. Our property features private studio-style suites, each thoughtfully designed for simplicity, convenience, and value. With units approximately 300 sq. ft., guests may choose between ground-level rooms with 9 ft. ceilings or upstairs rooms with 12 ft. ceilings for an open and airy feel. 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. Guests also enjoy being close to ʻIao Valley, local coffee shops, small eateries, and Wailuku’s vibrant arts and cultural district.

We offer self-check-in convenience, consistent cleanliness, and a welcoming atmosphere rooted in the spirit of Aloha. If you’re seeking comfort, location, and a genuine island experience—not a resort environment—Waena Inn is an ideal place to stay. Plus FREE ample parking onsite.

All you need

This place was close to the airport and a fantastic choice for one night after flying in on a late flight. Communication with the host was amazing from start to finish - they are so friendly, responsive, and even give neighbourhood recommendations. Check-in and out is super easy. The place was clean and AC was a nice edition. Some walkable restaurants nearby as well.

Clean Comfortable Stay

We booked 1 night last minute due to an unexpected change in plans arriving to Hawaii a day early. Communication was excellent. Host provided a list of local restaurants to help us plan the day. We arrived late so just wanted to get a good rest. Room was clean and comfortable. Recently updated.

Great stay

This place is beautifully renovated! Huge, comfortable, clean rooms! The bed was by far the comfiest we had on the whole trip. There are some great restaurants within walking distance. Communication was clear and quick and they were really hospitable on arrival! Bathroom was sparkling clean, but the shower had low water pressure. However that seems to be the case everywhere in Maui. As far as bang for your buck this place seemed a bit pricy for the location. But we had a great stay!

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. 🌈🤙
