The setting was tranquil. They have peacocks on the property that also gives it an exotic feel. The Inn itself is a throwback to the Elvis era - it’s old-timey and cool. The front desk was very accommodating. And the cherry on top - we came back from a long day of hiking and exploring to Star Wars playing on a big screen under the stars! Great way to cap off the day!! We’d go back.
Beautiful flowers on the property

What a great place and staff. I feel lucky to have found this great inn. We met the nicest people, had live music by the pool in the evening and a great continental breakfast before departing the next morning.

Host and Hostesses greeted me with smiles. Catered to my simple guest requests. Kept my room cleaned and refreshed everyday. If you are allergic to cats or chickens. Don't stay here because they are everywhere whenever you leave your room.

Kaua’i inn was very clean, conveniently located, quiet, and comfy. Loved that they had quite a few sweet “property cats” that loved to receive some lovins! They had a nice breakfast that consisted of coffee, pastries, fresh fruit, and yogurt. They also lend beach towels which is nice but they also have a washer and dryer to wash your own if you bring it (or clothes).

It’s a very chill laid back stay, the staff was excellent. It’s not going to blow you away with beachfront views or an exquisite restaurant, but the rooms are clean, they provide a good breakfast, and it’s close to the airport

This hotel isn't for everyone, hotel inside rooms are very disgusting and isn't clean is like motel 6 hotel. I am very disappointed on the smell and fridge isn’t clean build with moles. I couldn't sleep good and the pillow in the room is limited with two . There is cat everywhere and the breakfast isn’t clean and sensated . I wouldn’t recommend this place and wont be coming back on the place. They need an upper fixer and should care about everyone health and making sure customer are comfortable to sleep in hotel.

The Kauai Inn is a little out of the way and not as modern of most popular hotels. But, it is located in a beautiful out of the way location with the friendliest of staff to receive you and help in any way they can. It is relaxing clean and almost picturistic scene.

Loved the property and the charm. while it was dated everything was clean and everyone was nice. loved the live music only downfall was only one way in and out of the property due to road construction (nothing the owner could control). Definitely would stay here again.
