Location is the point: 2.7 miles from Kahului Airport with a free shuttle, and a fair Maui price compared with resort rates. Staff and cleanliness get strong marks, the Makai Tower rooms are renovated and rated highest, and the pool, firepit, and on-site restaurant make a one-night stay easy.
Wi-Fi is the weakest score at 6.3, some standard rooms feel dated and small, and the USD 25 amenity fee adds to every night. Breakfast is paid, not free, the shuttle stops at 10:00 PM, and cots and extra beds are not available. Book the Makai Tower room if you want the renovated stay, and check the all-in total with 18.71% taxes before paying.
Maui Seaside Hotel is a good pick for a one-night Kahului layover or the night before an early flight, especially for travellers who want a simple, clean base near the airport at a fair Maui price. It is not the pick for a resort stay, a late arrival relying on the shuttle, or anyone who wants free breakfast or strong Wi-Fi. Compare the total, room plus USD 25 amenity fee plus 18.71% taxes, across Booking.com and Agoda before booking.
