Great service at Kauai Inn

The team at Kauai Inn was very accommodating, which I appreciated. I had to hang out for a few hours on the grounds between getting picked up, and later going to the airport, and they were wonderful about me staying on the grounds, using the pool, etc. The room was very comfortable. I would recommend having a car if you stay here, as there's not a lot within easy walking distance.

The property is in a odd location. Pretty area but out on its own. Only stayed one night so it worked as a place to stay but the property is not in good repair, Our bathroom did not flush well and the hot water was not very good, behind our room was a smallhouse next to the property that were intoxicated and yelling at each other for about an hour in the middle of the night. Check in lady was friendly. Wouldn't stay there again, there are so many other hotel choices with nice water views to choose.

Anniversary stay..

We stayed here during our trip to Kauai. It’s an older hotel but loved the setting. The breakfast was a nice bonus along w the birds. Owner was always there tending to the property. Pool was clean. We loved the ability to borrow items to use at the beach. We would stay here again. Music was by the pool a few evenings: )

What a lovely place to stay. Off of the beaten path but does not have the feel of a commercial resort. It is well maintained. The owner is quite friendly. The breakfast is wonderful each morning. Enjoy the peacocks that strut around the property.

We really liked it here. The breakfast was great! Beds are comfortable and we literally were gone exploring all day so just what we needed. Why spend money on a condo when we are only there to rest until the next day! We appreciated all the beach equipment!

Pool area was wonderful and so was peacefulness. Beds and sheets were super comfy. Towels were very nice. Bathrooms were very dated but everything functional. Nothing fancy but we loved the quiet location
