“Great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

Had a quick night at the Kauai Inn before heading off to the Na Pali Coast. The room was comfortable and clean, and the breakfast in the morning included pleanty of fresh fruit. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the property was serene.

“Very Relaxing Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

We had plans of camping up in the mountains and after the first night realized it was much to cold to tent it. After sleeping two nights in the truck we caved and found this place for around $100 a night. You don't get much in Kauai for that price and we were pleased with what we got. Clean, comfortable, quiet hotel, with beautiful scenery. The location was kind of bizarre and old pool was lacking but no real complaints. The front desk ladies were very nice and helpful. If your looking for a cheap, quiet place..this is a good one.

“Older property, lots of charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We stayed the last night of our family vacation at this hotel. So charming, we immediately felt right at home. The breakfast buffet was very nice and the pool area was great. It's pretty centrally located, yet felt like we were in the middle of nowhere.

“Just like home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Let me start by saying this is not a big fancy resort. This is a family owned and run Hotel that made us feel like old friends who were visiting. The staff ( Donya mgr, Korine, Chris, Linda and Tony) could not have made us feel more welcomed. The hotel while aged is clean. Breakfast fresh fruits, muffins and breads were available every morning. Coffee (good) coffee was available all day and night. The only thing that may turn some people off was the location.....it is just outside the harbour and has an industrial feel, but turn the corner and that disappears. That being said you will need a car no matter where you stay. The Kauai Inn is situated right in the middle of the Island....so all attractions are easy to get to. Hotel is the perfect choice, its clean quiet and friendly.....so that fact that is dated was not a problem. We came to see and enjoy Kauai not to stay cooped up in a room. Just like "Cheers" everyone knows your name....you don't get that at the Big Chain Hotels! GO relax and enjoy we did!

Room Tip: we stayed in 101 lanai is smaller.....then we were moved to 106. Hotel rooms are all different so c...
