"Beach access was amazing. Great place just to snorkel. Area was clean.
Took much too long to check in. Staff acted surprised that we expected the type of room we booked. Worked out great in the end. Wonderful stay"
"the staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent. Walking distance to beach if this is what you want, also shopping and dining were walk able. The room was clean and cool the A/C ran very efficiently. I would recommend Holiday Inn Express."
"Oceanfront room had breathtaking view. Hotel staff was so attentive and friendly. Walked everywhere and used the Waikīkī trolley extensively for longer distance. The unlimited pass was a great deal. "
"First time staying at the Maui Coast Hotel. The staff greeted us pleasantly and accommodated all of our requests. The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The pools were sparkling clean and the restaurant food was delicious. The location was perfect as all of the shops and restaurants were within easy walking distance. I plan on heading back to Lihue and staying at the Maui Coast very soon!"
