Great Stay!

The Kauai Inn was such a pleasant surprise! The accommodations are nice but the greatest experience was the staff. Upon checking in, we were offered pizza that was ordered for the staff. The receptionist then offered us a bottle of wine to be delivered to our room! I cannot exaggerate the hospitality that was shown by the entire staff at the hotel. They provided live music on Friday night and a movie on Saturday. They also provide music on the grounds, so when you're having continental breakfast (provided) or lounging at the pool, you can hear soothing Hawaiian music. This is a hotel we will go back to because of the staff. Such a nice and friendly team!

This was a last minute reservation due to a flight cancellation. We were so happy they had a room for us.The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The bathroom was spotless and the shower was nice and hot with great water pressure. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. It's a very quaint place. I enjoyed the historical scrapbook in the office.
