Just returned from seven days in Maui and am missing every bit of it. As a solo traveler, I found the Pioneer Inn to be perfect for my needs. The ability to walk to stores and restaurants was a plus. I ate at a different place every night! I rented a car for four days and there is convenient parking across the street from the hotel that is free. The ferry to Lanai is right in front of the hotel along with multiple boats departing on excursions. Baby beach is about a 15 minute walk and Kaanapili beach is a about a 10-15 minute Lyft ride. The staff was super friendly and always helpful! I would say the only drawback is the rooms are a little outdated and small but if you aren't spending time in the room then that shouldn't matter. Note, that if you are light sleeper, the ac units in the room are on the loud side. The toiletries are scant so be advised you will have to hit up the Safeway or Food Lion for shampoo, conditioner, etc. With all that said, I would stay at the Best Western again. Hoping to get back to Maui sooner rather than later.
