You might (or might not) want to try one of these:
On
our very first trip to Hawaii, we thought we’d like to see Maui. We flew
over without reservations--this was before Kaanapali was built up. We
stopped for dinner, & since I finished before Bud, I went into the bar to
use the phone & try to find us a room somewhere. Everyone was booked
full! The bartender had been listening & offered to help. He
asked me if I’d mind a place that had drunken troubadours in the halls. I
told him that we’d stay ANYWHERE--we just needed a room!! He called a
friend at the Pioneer Hotel & said that he had two nice kids (this was in
the late 60’s or early 70’s--we WERE kids at the time) who needed a room &
asked if he could help us. I should have suspected something when he
interrupted his conversation to ask us if we wanted the room with or without a
bath. I asked him how much the rooms were & he told us they were
$5.00 without a bath & $7.00 with. We splurged & got a $7.00
room.
We
had breakfast in their patio the next morning. Their macadamia pancakes
were delicious--& we weren’t the only ones who thought so. There was
a bunch of fat “poi dogs” (mutts) who would come to your table while you ate,
plop down & wait for you to share your pancakes. They somehow sensed
when your pancakes were gone, because then they got up, waddled to another
table--& re-plopped. The hotel was featured in a Sunset Magazine
article that month, where it was said they had recently undergone
renovation. Bud figured this could only have consisted of their going
from gas to electricity. I looked it up online & found that it’s
now a Best Western Hotel, so I have to assume things have changed. We
sort of liked it the old way--for one night! Below is a copy of their
house rules from 1901, misspellings & all:
I found these hotels at BuzzFeed.com:
