Very grateful for this space!

This is my second time staying here, and I hope not the last! The inn itself is very lovely, peaceful, close to town, clean and bright. What really has stood out to me is how kind and hospitable the manager Holly is. She went out of her way to support my arrival, and make sure that it's a comfortable and welcoming stay. I feel lucky to have found this inn and to know it's a spot I can rest at between adventures.

Ideal Spot

We enjoyed the one night stay we had at the Wailuku Inn. The room was clean and as advertised and the bed was very comfortable which was lovely after a long day of flights! We did a quick walk around the garden in the morning before we left and found it lovely and peaceful! Check out was a bit on the early side, but we found this to be the case at several hotels on Maui, and the parking was a bit tricky but we figured it out (we arrived after dark and it was a bit hard to see the signage). We would definitely recommend and would stay here again if given the opportunity.

Incredibly rejuvenating night!

I am so grateful for the staff here! They worked with me so diligently and went out of their way to make sure I could spend a night here. It was such a good deal, the room was so clean, comfortable, light & airy, close to town by still quiet, and just the perfect evening of rest. I couldn't speak more highly of the staff here, and am so grateful for their kindness.
