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.

My partner and I spent 5 nights at Kauai Inn and thoroughly enjoyed our Stay. This is a happy and relaxing place as a result of the efforts and personality of its owner, who is there to see to your every need. Great fresh local fruit for breakfast. 2 live music performances during our stay. Beautiful garden and pool area where you are entertained by peacocks, chickens, cats and, of course, the other guests if you wish. Highly recommended.

If you want peace and quiet and a relaxing atmosphere, this is a great place for that. If you’re looking for a resort with first class amenities, then I suggest you keep looking. Nevertheless, this place was well worth the couple of days here.

Bridge out, nice views, free breakfast

Lovely property! The bridge to get here is closed indefinitely, so you have to drive around, but it was still lovely! There are peacocks and chickens. They let us use chairs and floaties to go to the beach. Breakfast was ok: good fruit, great muffins, yogurt/cereal. not hot choice, but it was FREE!

Great service at Kauai Inn

The team at Kauai Inn was very accommodating, which I appreciated. I had to hang out for a few hours on the grounds between getting picked up, and later going to the airport, and they were wonderful about me staying on the grounds, using the pool, etc. The room was very comfortable. I would recommend having a car if you stay here, as there's not a lot within easy walking distance.

The property is in a odd location. Pretty area but out on its own. Only stayed one night so it worked as a place to stay but the property is not in good repair, Our bathroom did not flush well and the hot water was not very good, behind our room was a smallhouse next to the property that were intoxicated and yelling at each other for about an hour in the middle of the night. Check in lady was friendly. Wouldn't stay there again, there are so many other hotel choices with nice water views to choose.

Anniversary stay..

We stayed here during our trip to Kauai. It’s an older hotel but loved the setting. The breakfast was a nice bonus along w the birds. Owner was always there tending to the property. Pool was clean. We loved the ability to borrow items to use at the beach. We would stay here again. Music was by the pool a few evenings: )

What a lovely place to stay. Off of the beaten path but does not have the feel of a commercial resort. It is well maintained. The owner is quite friendly. The breakfast is wonderful each morning. Enjoy the peacocks that strut around the property.
