HI Maui Coast Hotel Kihei

[forress]

Stayed in early Dec, paid $81/night thru priceline. I thought this was a small little hotel. I'm from the East Coast, I've never heard of the Coast brand Hotels. Apparently it's a small chain in the West Coast and Pacific.

About a 15 min drive from the airport. We checked in at around 3 but the room was not ready, was told it'll be ready in 15 mins. Waited for 10 mins in the lobby and the staff informed me our room is ready. We received a garden view in the 2nd floor. Nice size room, bathroom was nice also. Beds were comfortable, empty fridge inside the room, wireless internet access was available for $15/day? (don't remember exactly) but you can get free internet in the lobby b/c they have 2 computers for their guests to use. There's a 15min rule and most ppl followed it. We saw alot of airline personell checking in, must be a favorite with the airlines.

My major griped is that they don't have central A/C, each room is equipped with a seperate A/C unit. It can get quiet cold if you leave the A/C on before going to bed b/c their A/C unit don't have a power saver option. If you don't turn the A/C on, it can get hot and stuffy.

Self-parking is free, they have ample spaces available. A nice/uncrowded beach is across the street. We didn't try the pool or Spices restaurant, but they looked nice. Overall, this was a nice place to stay for the price. Definately lived up to the 3* hotel level on priceline.
