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.

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.
