Quiet, so peaceful. The staff is helpful and nice. The room is a little bit old but serves the purpose. Beds are surprisingly comfy , water pressure is good. Kauai Inn serves continental breakfast, but I wish they have boiled eggs. Overall our stay was pretty nice.

They assigned my room when I checked in— and I could see the ocean, so it was nice. It had a Murphy bed— unit small but very comfortable. Full fridge, dishwasher, microwave. Beautiful property and pool and I ate Dukes 3 times. Great island if you can afford it!!
