Great place to stay. Room was clean and the staff were helpful and kind. They also had entertainment at night including an amazing Ukulele player on Wednesday nights. I would stay here again.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great and the ac worked nicely.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was comfortable and clean with AC to keep the room temperature comfortable. Nice to have a continental breakfast included!
One of the best hotels I have visited. The staff here are really helpful and kind! The breakfast is delicious. The facilities are fantastic and well maintained. I would definitely come here again if I visit Kauai again.
Great stay at this very first hotel in Kaui’i. Room is big and has some local element. Staff are welcoming. Nice coffee and tea selection. Breakfast is simple but good!
The center with the courtyard and pool created a vibe of inclusion, playfulness, and community. The staff was absolutely some of the most warm loving people I have ever met. The gifting of a flower for your hair at breakfast was a huge heart felt touch. And who gets to experience a lovely breakfast with peacocks to fill your visual space! My time on Kauai was short and sweet and staying at the Kauai Inn was definitely so very special.
We absolutely loved staying here! The room was spacious and clean, the property was adorable, the view of the mountain was beautiful, and the staff was super nice. They offer live entertainment on the property several nights a week, and a delicious continental breakfast in the mornings. Usually I prefer staying in a resort/hotel, but this was so quaint and adorable I would absolutely stay again!
This was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. It is located at the midway point of the island so you can get anywhere you need pretty quickly. The rooms were cozy and the staff were very helpful and caring. The cats, peacocks, and chickens added to the island vibe. The rates were very fair for the immense value we received!
Super relaxing and peaceful stay, they let you rent towels, umbrellas, boogie boards, and snorkel gear for free which was awesome. Staff was super friendly, and they had fun activities on the property like live music and movie nights. The breakfast was good, all of the food offered was from Costco except the fresh fruit but it was still filling and yummy. Overall a great stay :)
Enjoyed the quiet, serene and pristine property that is nestled by the gorgeous Kauai mountains. Love the roaming chickens and peacocks. Close to airport, shopping, restaurants, and a fabulous beach park. I’d stay again in a heartbeat! Mahalo for a memorable Kauai stay!
