Forty-one employees at the Maui Lu Hotel have been notified they will be laid off Nov. 10 because of a pending change in ownership at the Kihei property.

ResortQuest Hawaii told the employees Monday that the hotel owners are in the process of selling the property. As a result, the hotel will be closed at 5 p.m. Nov. 10 and all its employees will be laid off.

Hotel officials could not be reached for comment yesterday.

The Maui Lu hotel consists of low-rise structures that are spread across 28 acres of oceanfront property in Kihei.
