For our first trip to Kauai and being budget-minded, we wanted a place near Lihue airport with proximal accessibility to both the North and South shores. We had heard good things about the Garden Island Inn, not only on Trip Advisor but in major travel guides as well, and they turned out to be spot-on. The rooms were clean and... More

If you want fancy, stay at the Marriott Resort across the road from GII. This place is bargain funky. Good location. Yes, there is some road noise. Pleasant and clean rooms. Great beach a few minutes away. Close to the airport, but "almost" on the water. 2 minute walk to Kalapaki shops and restaurants. I'd stay here again! This visit... More

The Garden Island Inn lets you escape the sameness of standard Hawiian hotels and resorts. It is a family friendly motel-like facility with very helpful staff (especialy Germaine), located just across the street from the pleasant beach at Kalapaki Bay. The Inn has free parking, Wi-Fi connectivity as well as beach ammenities from towels through snorkel gear. The Inn has... More

Our first night of a two-week visit to Kauai was spent at this Inn on the main road through Kalapaki Bay. We were greeted warmly and efficiently by the reception lady and given an upgrade to a larger room without even asking. The room was clean and fresh, with nicely tiled floors throughout. This room could easily have accommodated a... More

We were disappointed with our stay at garden island inn. The room was TINY. It was probably the most cramped room i have ever stayed in. THere is no tub - only a shower. Everytime one of us took a bath the smoke alarm would go off for a good 30 minutes. Having said that - the rooms come at... More

Our family recently stayed at Garden Island Inn in Kauai. Our parents were celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary.We also had newlyweds with us,my husband and myself. This place is central to everything on the Island. It is very clean, great prices and has the best staff ever! You can look across the street and watch the Cruise Ships come in.... More

I stayed at the Garden Island Inn last week, for 6 days. It was my first time on the island, so I wanted a 'launchpad' so I could explore the island. The location worked out really well for me - centrally located -easy access to both the North and South shores. There is a beach across the street and several... More

Just returned from 2 week stay at Garden Island Inn. Excellent value. Free access to beach gear. Not fancy but clean and quiet. There is some noise from main road but it subsides at night. We slept well. Well located mid-island for day trips. Great access to beach across the street for the days we didn't travel further afield. Would... More

I booked the Garden Island Inn with my sister in July 2010. We spent our time choosing our hotel as we didn't have much money to spend! I am so happy we chose the Garden Island Inn, it was absolutely perfect and I can't wait to return! I chose the Garden Island Inn due to its great location- literally on... More
