After seeing some of the horrible reviews at TripAdvisor I was expecting a horrible stay. It was better than that. First, there is a pool (I swam in it) It's on the scond floor between the restaurant and the street. It closes at 5pm so they can set up the restaurant. Second, the room was clean but worn and spartan. Good AC. Friendly staff. This is NOT a resort but an older business hotel. Since I was there on business and did not spend much time in the room, it was fine. I would go back for business or a very cheap vacation. The hotel sits on two noisy streets so ask for a room facing the inner lawn area (and you will have a view of the harbor) as it turned out I was in one of the handicapped rooms and it had a large shower. I can't comment on what a standard room has in that regard.

We needed a good priced hotel and this is it. You get what you pay for its not an unscale hotel but its near the airport and everything is central. The only problem is there is no pool. I don't know what happend to it. All in all Maui Beach Hotel is just perfect for a low budget stay.

The only possible thing I can think after reading all these reviews is that this hotel has gone downhill fast since they were written. Even though they were a little old, we felt that there was probably enough truth to the reviews that the Maui Beach Hotel would be at least an "ok" place to stay on our pass through to the Big Island and then again on the way to Oahu. We couldn't have been more wrong. It was so un-ok that we cancelled our second night stay even though it would have been just to sleep and catch an early flight. First of all, the pictures were very misleading. Pool? What pool? If there ever was one, it was gone by the time we stayed there in October! Why would they still show it in their ads? Though the room was clean, there was a party all night long, both in the corridor and in the room next door, and it made for a very difficult night's sleep. Staff was very hesitant to break up the party, and the hotel felt unsafe enough that my husband was hesitant to stick his head out the door to ask them to quiet down. Perhaps it was the appearance of the lobby, with what looked liked drug addicts and bums loitering around that made us uncomfortable. Despite this, when my husband finally gave up on sleep, he went to the lobby to try to use his laptop and he was greeted by staff fighting with each other and screaming at each other behind the front desk. He was told that the wireless access was not for guest use, but that he could use it anyway, and then he was told by someone else ( security maybe? ) that he couldn't. Too bad security wasn't more worried about the shady characters hanging about in the halls and the lobby. Not to worry, though, because by the time our friend went looking for us in the lobby ( husband was back in the room ) the police had arrived on scene. Fantastic! We knew this would not be an upscale hotel, but regardless of the price, still would like to have felt safe and comfortable. Everything about this place, including the neighborhood, felt seedy. We would rather have driven a little farther to get to the airport than to have felt as uncomfortable as we were. We could not get out of there soon enough.
