The property has been cutoff from the rest of town by a closed bridge for autos. There are 3 music nights but no bar service or even byob recommendations at checkin . Rooms are somewhat tired. Roosters start crowing at 5am. Rate much to high for property.

Ot is an old inn. If they kept up with repairs it would be a very nice place to stay. Jalousie window locks were broken so didn’t feel safe. AC very loud, hard to hear tv and kept me up most of the night. People are nice though. Microwave and house phone not working. Hope they fix their units.

We had a great time at Kauai Inn. The view is breathtaking, the hotel is surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Kauai. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The staff was very helpful and wonderful, we even enjoyed the chickens, roosters and peacocks. They have live music and a truck that comes to the hotel once a week, I believe it was on Wednesday, that makes pizza. It was delicious. Breakfast was amazing and they have free parking. They also provide beach towels. Will stay there again and again.

This hotel is absolutely amazing! Older buildings but redone. Currently repainting. Comfortable bed, very friendly atmosphere! People are fantastic! Owner Phillip is friendly and accommodating! Quiet! Maids friendly and trustworthy! Only negative is the roosters crowing, but they are protected so nothing can be done!

We loved the personal attention, travel tips and Hawaiian history from the owner. Breakfast every morning, with fruit from their property, was a treat and live evening music was enchanting. The property is being worked on so the quality likely differs between rooms. If we're lucky enough to visit Hawaii again, I would want to stay at the Kauaii Inn again.

The staff was super helpful and very friendly. They let us in hours early cleaning the room as soon as someone left. We had been stranded overnight in the airport and hadn’t slept and they let us in not earlier than our check in time and that was really appreciated. They also offered us breakfast when we showed up and let us Lounge around the pool, trying to catch some snoozes, really helpful and greatly appreciated.
