I stayed at the Kauai Inn for 4 nights and enjoyed every single night I was there! It has a very unique feel to it and had lots of night time activities. You can tell that all of the workers really care about the place and want to ensure you enjoy your stay. Overall, it’s a great way to relax and have a fun time by yourself of with family! There are a few things to note: the breakfast is a true “grab and go” style that features muffins, croissants, bagels, toast, yogurt, cereal, various fruit (cut it yourself), juice, milk, tea, and coffee, the pool is only 3 feet all around, there are a lot of animal noises (earplugs are provided), no ventilation fan in the bathroom (just a window), and the rooms have a vintage feel to them. I don’t think these things should deter you from staying here, but think it would be helpful to know these beforehand.

Very nice place. We didn’t need anything fancy, but it fit our needs. The only issue was the roosters that wake up at 3am. :-)

Difficult to find with the bridge closed; should have got a message from hotel that bridge was closed and have to drive the long way around. Key did not work in my room; and i had to get another. Nice view of the mountains from the room - place a bit dated. Breakfast was tasty but it ended at 9 am ---- would have loved being on holiday for it to go to at least 10am.

I am 29 years old, travelling with my girlfriend. This hotel is so underrated. The room was very clean and prettier than online photos may suggest. The view on the mountains was simply perfect. It has an authentic hawaiian vibe and is close to nature. The owner, Philip, as all the staff, were very friendly. The pool is clean, the breakfast is convenient. We had music shows three times. We definitely recommend!!

Overall a charming place in Kauai and so glad we found it. The other reviews are spot on: great location not far from the airport and to get to other spots, especially the south, Waimea Canyon (and more). Very thoughtful service, nice breakfast options with the 24-hr coffee & tea bar. Clean room, comfy bed, and even Hawaiian Tropic toiletries to bring back the coconut smell of my youth. Fun vibe on the grounds with live musicians on certain nights, peacocks amongst the plethora of chickens in the morning, and lovely foliage. Mahalo for a great stay!🌺

Nice, quiet and awesome views of the mountains. Only complaint is the bed. The management needs to look into getting new beds.
