Disgusting! Filthy Nasty! Horrifying! You could not pay me to stay again! If it was the last hotel in Hana, I'd camp! I have traveled extensively for many years, staying at all levels of hotels and motels. I have never in my life seen anything as disgusting as Aloha Cottages. And I had to sleep there! We prepaid, so we knew we wouldn't get our money back. We drove around and found no others availability in Hana, so we were stuck! It was truly a nightmare! Filthy doesn't cover it. The floors are disgusting! I wouldn't remove my shoes! There were dead bugs in every light fixture! The fridge is completey rusted! The cutting board is frightening! The shower curtain was old and full of black spotted mildew! The bathroom window has a thick collection of old dust, dirt and mildew all over it! I've never seen dust like this! Thick clumps of dust were stuck on all the curtains... in every room. So when the wind blew the curtain over your head at night, old, dirty clumps of dust would fall on our heads! We slept with the sheets pulled over us and waited for the crack of dawn to get the hell out!!! Oh, let's not forget the big, white spider nest on the wall, right behind the TV in plane site! Trust me when I advise you to never, ever, ever stay at Aloha Cottages! We took photos to share with TripAdvisor travelers which I will try to attach later. Hana is gorgeous and worth the drive as long as you stay anywhere else!

We did the drive to Hana and decided to stay 2 nights so that we could do some sightseeing. I basically just picked a cheap place out of our guidebook so Aloha Cottages ended up getting a call. The woman who answered the phone offered us a room for $60/night so we headed over there. She was waiting for us in her office and was really sweet. She seemed genuinely interested to hear about our trip so far and where we were from. She gave us some fruit and a little map and told us what time the stores were open until and what we could go see...that was all we saw from the staff.

We told them not to bother with their housekeeping service because we had been camping for a week and had clothing, sleeping bags, food, etc. all over the place. It wouldn't have been fair to ask them to clean that if we were only paying $60/night.

We had a studio type room so everything was open. It was very old looking - think grandma's basement in 1985 - and it had 2 twin beds, but we pushed them together and didn't even find dust bunnies. They had some utensils, pots, etc. in the kitchen for guests to use. The bathroom was far from special but I was just happy to see an indoor shower after a week of camping. Our room had lots of windows with a furnished (although not in very condition) patio.

This place is definitely outdated but that's what you get for paying such low prices. If you are looking for something special I would stay in the resort that was across the street. If you usually stay in nice hotels, do not stay here. If you usually stay in hostels or camp this place is fine.

[I highly recommend getting through this review - it's true, quite informative, and entertaining.]
Quite literally a nightmare, this title I chose is appropriate - we actually did have unusual nightmares there - probably because of the angry old man's energy permeating the property. Seven and ten years - that's how long my fiancee' and I respectively have resided on Maui, and never have either one of us been so disrespected by anyone on this island. She gets her one week off and decides to stay on our beautiful and expensive island, instead of traveling to another place. Good idea, but I should have checked the previous review before committing to this dump.
I'll start from the beginning and try to stay brief, though I could continue complaining about this place for quite a while. First, we arrive, and the "Office" sign at the bottom of the driveway is misleading because you have to go to the top of the driveway to the owners' house, where the old man stood doing work in his driveway. He might as well have put a shotgun to our heads when he asked (without even a wave or hello and a suspicious sneer) if we had a reservation. We smiled big and said yes, looking at each other with a look saying "well, this should be interesting". Inside stood the one potential redeeming quality of the place, which at first made it seem hopeful, yet in hindsight was actually just the "good cop" - the old lady. She was sweet and helpful, which later wound up being way overshadowed by his complete rudeness and disrespect. She actually gave us a break on the price (kamaaina [Maui resident] rate), fruit, and directions to several local places to go. Seemed like a potentially positive experience at this point. (By the way, if you want her to actually do what she said and bring fresh towels and empty the trash, you better not sleep late. That was her excuse when we were leaving. Also, hope you need exfoliation on your whole body because they are obviously too cheap to use a dryer and the towels are old and like sandpaper). So, we get in the room and almost immediately felt the oncoming scene out of a National Lampoon movie. Be careful sitting on the "couches", or more like wood boxes with shallow cushions. We both have compressed disks in our necks from sitting down too fast onto a hard surface. There's a coffee maker from 1971, which if you're daring enough, probably does actually work. The 2 cooking pots supplied actually have lids that fit and are as well operational, so long as you don't mind aluminum poisoning.
The nice old lady didn't warn us on the phone that there was construction happening right next door starting at the crack of dawn, nor that we should bring our own towels and go to the laundromat if we want clean sheets (we didn't, but would have had to had we stayed longer - yeah, right.) These things are what offset her good cop role for me. So after three horrible nights' sleep on a hard bed with power tools for an alarm clock, the morning we're leaving comes. She knocks on the door at 10:28 a.m. warning me that her husband will "scold" us if we're not out by 10:45 a.m., which came quickly, and regardless of our effort to be out by 11 a.m. (ever heard of a grace period?), which we would have been anyway, at 10:45 sharp - a knock on the door. The old man comes barging in with a broom and 2 granddaughters and starts throwing our belongings out of his way with a vigor as he proceeds to clean. We were quite literally being physically pushed out the door by this 5'3" half-deaf, angry old man. He hit my foot about 4 times with the broom as I was standing right outside the front door picking up my stuff, which is when I finally broke my silence and gave him a friendly warning saying that was my limit - "don't start hitting me, old man!" So today, my fiancee` and I are starting to get along again after our rude awakening yesterday morning. If you are masochistic, this is the place for you.

don't think our two bedroom ,two bath has seen any tlc for many years! duct tape on the funiture and bugs on the counter not my idea of a rental. We didn't have to worry about getting yelled at for checking out late we got out as soon as we could! should have burned the 150 dollars and stayed at home in kihie.
