Enjoyed our stay, rooms clean, not real spacious, but very comfortable. Price was right, just perfect for the budget minded.
Hard to visualize some of the previous negative reviews.

This was the best place in hawaii i have ever stayed, the staff, housekeepers were awesome they went out of there way to make our stay paridise,the price was almost too good to be true.
every morning i was greeted and told to have a nice day by the two girls that cleaned, lovely ladies very sweet
I cannot wait to return.... thanks sooo much

My husband and I stayed at Kauai Palms for 3 nights, largely because of the low rate they offered ($65/night). We knew it would be a no-frills kind of place, but since when does no-frills mean that guests should contend with cockroaches, stained carpet, rusty bathroom fixtures, sagging beds, windows that don't properly shut, and incessant noise? On our 1st night, I could barely sleep because the paper-thin walls and poor windows allowed me to hear every movement of our neighbor, and at 5am the roosters outside started crowing. Also, the Kauai Palms isn't too far from the Lihue Airport and the noise of the planes taking off can get really loud, too. We asked for a different room after our 1st night, and the staff was cordial and put us into another room- slightly less noisy- but of dubious cleanliness. My advice: don't stay here!! Do some research and find somewhere else to stay. Pay a little more for a better experience, or look into a vacation rental. I could have overlooked a lot of things about this hotel, but the cockroaches in both of the rooms we slept in pushed me over the edge. If a restaurant would get shut down for roaches and poor hygiene, so should this hotel.

We decided to stay here for a night since it is close to the airport and we were not arriving into Kauai until late. The room was dirty --- carpet covered in dirt and stains, and so were the sheets. We barely had room for two people to move around and the shower was so disgusting I just waited to shower at our next accomodations. To make the whole experience even worse, we woke up to the sounds of our neighbor being 'sick' and with the walls as thin as they were, we could hear everything and checked out as soon as we could get dressed.

We stayed at a charming inn the next night that ended up being about $25 more. I would have paid at least $100 to stay somewhere else!!! You can definitely find a much better budget priced lodging if you look around.
