It's very very cute, and very very old, just like Grandma's house. The lacey curtains and the colorful quilt inside the room further emphasize the age. The bathrooms are new and remodeled and super clean. Rooms are spacious and come with shelves of books for your entertainment, ranging from travel, to cooking, to soft porn, to sewing.

In the morning they serve a mean breakfast with fresh fruits. I really felt well taken care of here. Just remember this is not your standard Hawaii resorty place.

They answer the phone and seem really sweet.

$165 to $195 a night is pricey and a little smug for Wailuku.

Great spot to put your parents up when they come to Maui to bail you out of Jail and pay your court fees for getting too free.

Lawyers will love the hot tub after a long day wheeling and dealing with the Maui's Kangaroo Court system.

Last weekend we stayed at the Old Wailuku Inn.  We absolutely love staying at this historical little bed and breakfast.  We are repeat visitors and have probably stayed in every room there.  The best are the ones with the multi-head showers.  The top one is like standing under a waterfall.  Absolutely refreshing and relazing!  You will not want to leave your room!

The owners Janice and Tom always recognize us and are always so sweet and personable.  We enjoy our daily morning chats with them as they serve all of their guests breakfast.

They are centrally located in Wailuku in a convenient yet secluded area off of the main highway.  I highly recommend you to stay here on your next trip to Maui.  You will not regret it!

I would not hesitate to recommend the Old Wailuku Inn to anyone who is open to a "non-beach" accommodation in Maui. I, for one, am glad that G and I found this little bed and breakfast in Central Maui (about 15 minutes from the Kahului airport) as opposed to staying at one of the big, expensive beach resorts in Kaanapali or Wailea.

We stayed in the master suite - the Ulu Room - which was comfortable and very well-kept. We were there just days before Christmas and found the holiday decor to be delightful to the point that it was a bit much (we had Christmas pillows on our bed and Santas on our shelves!) The Ulu Room's bathroom, with a shower, whirlpool, vanity, and sink/toilet, is enormous -- almost half of the size of the bedroom itself.

Over breakfast, we met both fellow travelers and locals alike: Big Island residents taking a vacation, young couples on their honeymoons, and a Maui gal who was getting her wedding photos taken on the property (that's testimony to how gorgeous and well-restored the inn is.) Breakfasts featured local foods like passion fruit butter, starfruit, Portugese sausage, sweet potatoes, and papaya. I ate everything with relish.

The personalized attention to detail here is what I liked most: up-to-date guidebooks in our room, snacks/water for the road, giant beach towels, and calls/emails from the innkeepers to check on us before our stay. I look forward to returning to this inn on future trips to Maui.

Great place to stay at.  We were here April 2007 and we stayed in the Mokihana room.  This room was huge and it had a whirlpool hot tub, great to soak in during the evenings.  Everyone there is really sweet and helpful.

An audible gasp escaped me when we drove down a quant little street in central Maui to arrive to our B&B. It's a great location, nice rooms, great price, lovely jacuzzi tub...everything was almost perfect until a snide comment from the owner bristled my feathers a bit. Yes, I'm docking a star because of this, but I believe that good hospitality shouldn't end in hurt feelings.

we stayed at this bed & breakfast after we got married and had such a wonderful time here. the owners are so sweet & nice.  the breakfast we had here was yummy-complete with some homemade malasadas that rival leonards and punahou carnival.  they even have snacks and drinks stocked, and ice chests that you can borrow and take out with you on your day excursions.  our room was nice and very clean.
