Having arrived in Maui at 10:30 PM we thought it best to stay in Kahului vs driving into Kaanapali so we chose one of the only 2 places in Kahului. It was like being at a motel we would stay as kids when on vacation-cheap but fairly clean. We felt like we had gone back to the '50's. we were so tired this first night we didn't notice how tired and dirty this place is.
On our return because our flight didn't leave until almost midnight and we had to check out of our condo in Kaanapali at 11:00 we chose to stay again at Maui Seaside just to rest and get ready for the flight home - no overnight, just a dayroom to relax before the flight but we paid as if we were staying the night.
The staff was the most unfriendly and unaccommodating I've ever experienced. We arrived at 1:30 only to be told we couldn't check in until 3:00 - the parking lot was basically empty. So we sat in the lobby and waited until 2:30 and asked if "any" rooms were ready. Nope, you have to wait until 3:00. So, at 3:00 my husband asked if the room was ready and they told us they'd put us in the "tower". Well, the tower is at the back of the bus, 3 story unit which stunk to high heaven. I think they did this on purpose because there were other rooms available.
I was so glad to get out of this hotel! Parking is a nightmare once everyone arrives and you could end up walking a half a mile just to park!!!!!! Not much choice though in Kahului...deal with the mold and nasty interiors or drive on to your destination which is what we'll do next time.
