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!

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 :)

The owner and everyone who works there are so incredibly warm and friendly! We didn't stay long, but thoroughly enjoyed our time at this quaint and historic inn. The lush mountains in the backdrop, blooming bushes all around the property, and free live music + a delicious complimentary breakfast were some of our favorite things about it. The beds are comfortable, and the location is great. Fun fact: it's the oldest hotel in all of Hawai'i! Def recommend.

We had an incredible time at this hotel. They offer movie nights, complimentary breakfast, and even live music performances. They also provide free rentals like boogie boards, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and the staff is incredibly friendly and hospitable. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Kauai on a budget. The Mountain View’s right behind are also stunning.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kauai Inn! The property itself is beautiful and peaceful, with lots of wildlife to keep you company. You will be greeted by many roosters, their resident cats, and even peacocks! The complimentary breakfast was as basic as it gets - bagels, croissants, cereal, fruit, coffee, and tea. There is free parking, a pool, live music on certain week nights, and movie night on Saturdays. They rent out snorkel gear and beach towels as well. It is located close to the airport and other local restaurants. Overall we would absolutely return here if we visit Kauai again!
