If you are looking for an out of the way away from the resort side of the island this is the place. You definitely need a rental car to get anywhere. Rent it at the airport as they say there is a rental there but it’s faster/easier to just do it at the airport. People are really friendly and rooms are clean but outdated. Grounds are immaculate. breakfast is pretty limited and doesn’t start very early. Many of the excursions start early but you can get coffee. The biggest complaint would be the chickens. They are everywhere and when trying to eat breakfast they are not afraid to jump right up on the tables. Air conditions are the old fashioned window type and are very noisy but work very well. They are located a long way from any food/ shopping.

Okay place for one night stay. Bed was big, but only one pillow per person. Only 1 nightstand. Bathroom seemed clean, had some drill holes near the sink. Rooster did wake me several times 4-5am. A/c kept the room cool, but was dripping down the wall. Convenient location, cheaper place for Kauai.

Flies in room, fan/ airconditioner both was not working properly. Switched rooms, woke up to my car having an abondoned sticker on it...and it would be towed within 24 hours..because no one asked me for my plate # someone called the police to report my car was parked illegally! When in fact had they followed through with their job...they would have known I "was" a paying customer! Way to welcome someone Kauai Inn. Very dissapointed, this could have been avoided.
