The Inn is a bit old, but the location is nice and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming.
The rooms are clean and the bed was comfortable. They serve snacks and coffee in the morning and they had music in the evening.
Room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were lovely. Beautiful, quiet setting. The staff and management were warm and friendly. They really made a difference in our stay. They shared history of the property and made great recommendations of places to visit.
The property had beautiful trees with flowers throughout. It also had great amenities such as outdoor movies and live music at night. The backdrop was a beautiful view of mountains. if back on Kaua’i, we would love to visit again.

The yard is wonderful. Decent enough breakfast. Plenty of parking. Bathroom is bit small.
My 4 night stay was such an amazing experience, checked in with a warm welcome and came into my room with a clean feeling. Will be coming back every time I visit home!
The rooms are very dated, however, they are also very clean! Everything worked PERFECTLY in the room (WiFi, plumbing, hot water, etc...) and the bed was super comfortable. I was also really shocked at how wonderful their complimentary continental breakfast was. Staff was very welcoming and accommodating. It was great being in a very "chill" location that is very close to Lihue that gives you plenty of dining options. I'm very happy I chose to stay at the Kauai Inn!
It was great! Fresh new towels & a clean room Daily! The view outside is amazing! Front Dest is open 24/7 and All Staff is very friendly and welcoming! Breakfast every morning! I will definitely be back!
Just an incredible setting. The place looked so adorable. The rooms were a bit older, but clean. The walls were thin, so loud, the breakfast was surreally beautiful setting. You need to know what you are getting, which is a older, quaint place that is just set in an amazingly beautiful location. We'd visit again for sure.
Very clean room , the amenities was an excellent also they have an entertainment show during the weekend night like movie nights or local music in live .it was 👍👌 👍👌👍
This is a quaint, charming place to stay! There is a lovely morning breakfast held in the open-air lounge at the reservation desk area. What a nice way to meet other travelers! That same area hosts a guitarist who does Hawaiian music 3 nights a week, and he was accompanied by a wonderful hula dancer. It was such a special, personal experience! I would go back just for the lovely coziness!
This is a nice hotel for a reasonably price on Kauia. The guy at check in was super friendly and helpful and quick. The room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and green and well manicured. This place has the best of both worlds because it feels remote and secluded and in the jungle, but is only a 10 minute drive to all the major stores and restaurants. I really liked this hotel and will definitely stay here again in the future. Highly recommended.
