My fiance and I went with this as one of the cheaper places to stay on the island for an 8-night trip. It's a motel-style location with two levels, and we stayed in a ground-level room. THE GOOD: - The room was small and nothing special, but it was clean and in good shape. The bed and pillows are nice.... More

However, charged me for something that was not my responsibility. Told me they would investigate and get back the same day. Several days later, still waiting, Would not trust my credit card with these people again.

This is a smaller hotel that sits beneath two great mountain views. This hotel is quiet and peaceful away from the highrise hotels. Bonita and her sister are very accomodating and try to meet all your needs including advise on where to eat. This hotel does not have an elevator so if you have trouble carrying bags upstairs ask for... More

The Kauai Inn is a great choice if you aren´t a luxury traveler in search of "cut and paste" resorts. The rooms are pretty big (many of them with lanais), fully equipped and the breakfast is amazing. In addition to this the Inn is strategically located, allowing you to visit pretty much every place in the island without much fuss.... More

Pros: Quiet location, well-kept grounds, affordable, clean room, no smoking and no loud music policy Cons: Breakfast! Please don't advertise bagels, jam and cream cheese served for consecutive 5 days as breakfast. We understand that continental breakfast is a bonus BUT previous reviews described breakfasts in this hotel as a great treat loaded with fresh fruits. They are NOT THERE... More

We came in on a late flight and needed accommodations for just one night, until our cottage was available in Kekaha. Check in was friendly and very welcoming, with suggestions for dinner locations (we chose Mark's Place, a good choice). The location is really quite good, close to the airport and restaurants, quite, with fine views. The staff was always... More

This is NOT a big time resort. Rather, it is pleasant little hotel, a bit off the beaten path, with a swimming pool, a resident feline, and a friendly group of people running the place. It does have a bit of history. The cast and crew of "Donovan's Reef" (directed by the legendary John Ford and starring John Wayne and... More

All right, the start was not that good. I had expected a friendly Aloha, instead I got 3 warnings in 1 minute: you better have reserved, when you smoke, you pay 200 $, and when you leave after 11.30 hr you pay another day. Welcome on Kauai ! When I asked for wifi, I was told that there is free... More

We stayed overnight in January 2013 and thought it good value. A clean and comfortable room and a nice continental breakfast served outdoors. This is an older hotel but it's good-basic with friendly management. 10-15 mins from the airport by taxi, it's located at the edge of an industrial area but don't let that put you off. The hotel is... More

Both our welcome and the next morning's shower at The Kauai Inn were lukewarm. Maybe we caught the staff on a bad day, but the check-in was pretty perfunctory, and lacked any warmth. Next morning, the shower temperature did not stay stable, and never got really hot. Upon checkout there was a sign stating that the hotel's continental breakfast will... More
