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.

Kauai Inn

Staff members were very friendly especially one of the owners. He actually gave me a lesson on the history of the hotel. Breakfasts were ok and plentiful mainly stables from Costco. The only unusual about this place is that housekeeping will bring fresh towels every day, but the beds were never made. (Local custom?)

Oasis in the countryside

Love, love, love this hotel. This was like an oasis on the countryside. I loved the fact that the owner is at the hotel and is always interacting with the guest. They provide entertainment with local singers several times a week. This is so unique as I never experienced this with any other hotel and I loved it. I would come back for sure.

Kauai Inn is a quiet hideaway with easy access to the beaches and restaurants in Lihue. Its a great central location between driving to the east/north side of island and west side of island.

We had such a super amazing time at the Kauai Inn! The slight detour do to an uncrossable bridge added to the adventure and the sights we might not have seen otherwise. Chris and his team were so friendly and welcoming! We arrived to live music on the patio. The breakfast buffet and 24-hour coffee was perfection. We so enjoyed the pool. They even brought out floats for us to use. The rooms are spacious and comfy. And the bath towels were amazing! We would definitely stay here again!
