My husband & I were vacationing on Oahu for two weeks from 8/16 - 30/07. I booked Interisland flight through Go Airlines for Maui and searched for nice B & B to stay at for 8/23-25/07. What a let down when we finally found the Wailuku Guesthouse. The front entrance was a mess & no one to greet us. When Maureen eventually showed up we were shown to the Plantation room (my bedroom closet at home was bigger) Maureen is a very fast talker and left us very abruptly. I looked at the spec of a room & my husband and said" were getting out of here." I highly recommend the Maui Seaside Motel. I did have the courtesy to call Maureen after checking into the Maui Seaside Motel to let her know we left & wouldn't return. Turned a negative into a positive!

my BF and i stayed in the wasabi suite at wailuku guesthouse from 4-10-07 - 4-23-07 and had a wonderful time. Maureen our hostess was perfect for what we came to maui for. We came to relax but be in a friendly environment not to be pampered but also not to be ignored and that is what we found here. The neighborhood the guesthouse is in is where the local people live and a wonderful insite for day to day life. Many of the other guests were repete guests and a wealth of knowledge as to where to go, what to do, and what to avoid, as was Maureen herself. The room was perfect for two people who don't want to be tripping over each other but cozy to also be intimate. There is a beautiful salt water pool with tables and chairs that you don't have to fight hordes of people to use and can relax after your day. It is also reasonably priced so your not spending money that you would be able to spend on other pursuits whatever they may be. This is like living on maui as a visitor but in a very relaxed and also social manner. If your the type of person that needs to be pampered to be happy you will not enjoy the essence of the island. The location is central so you really don't have to drive far to go and see the many sites the island has to offer. Our stay here was perfect for us and we very much enjoyed it.

We just got back from our stay at the Wailuku Guesthouse. As far as cleanliness, the room was fine but very, very small, and the carpets and matress were obviously very old. The carpet was matted down and the mattress was as hard as a rock. We never once saw the "hostess," only received notes on our door. There was a refrigerator in the room that was broken and leaked when we turned it on. Because the room was sooo small, my husband accidently knocked two of the panes (they were jalousie windows, the ones that look like glass blinds and crank) out. We called around that day and found out that they were seven dollars a pane. When we returned to the room, the window had already been repaired. We tried to talk to the "host" about paying for the damage but she said she did not have the bill yet...When we returned home, we found out that we had already been charged $250 to our card, three days before we asked her about it and she said she didn't have a bill. She also charged us for damage to her carpet which came from her nasty refrigerator.
Bottom line, you pay for what you get and in our case, we paid for a whole lot more. We ended up paying as much as we would have at a hotel and certainly had none of the service or hospitality that would have come with a hotel stay.
Some advice:
Rather than waste your money at Wailuku (which is in a bad neighborhood to boot) hold out for a true bed and breakfast that understands the concept of island hospitality.

You can't tell from their website but the rooms are the size of closets. only one person can walk in the room at a time. Also the pool area was very dirty! If you are going to Maui for vacation it won't feel like one if you stay here! It's also NOT a guesthouse it's the back part of the owners house in a neighborhood. not what we expected and decided to leave early. the owner refused to give us our money back and charged us for a week when we only stayed one night.
