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.

Amy at the front desk was outstanding! Courteous, friendly, welcoming. Continental breakfast was great...loved the peacocks lurking around trying to steal food! :) I have to be honest...the rooms are getting a little worn (furniture, bathroom, etc.) But it was very clean and the whole experience overall was positive. Undecided if we will stay there again.

The Kaua’i Inn is a charming older hotel surrounded by gorgeous views of the mountains. While the building is showing its age, the owners do a wonderful job maintaining the original character of the property. Compared to other hotels in the area, the Kaua’i Inn is a tremendous value that still manages to offer its guests an exceptional experience. Next time we return to the island we’ll be sure to return to the Kaua’i Inn.

Out in the boondocks! I chose it in order to be close to the airport for an early flight out the next day after staying at a luxury resort for the week prior. Turned out the direct route to the airport was under road closure (not the Kauai inn’s fault) so we actually needed to adjust our timing in order to make our flight. The hotel staff was exceptionally friendly and gracious.
