Kauai Inn helped us in a pinch! We had a last minute booking due to a flight snafu. We got in at 9pm same day check in and they treated us amazingly. It’s. Very quaint spot, nestled right next to the mountain. Very close to shops and yummy food. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Full of charm!

The Kauai Inn is full of charm. It's an older hotel (oldest in Kauai they told us) but the owner has made some key upgrades and the staff couldn't be an nicer. The sheets, towels, and bed were soft. The AC was cold and while the shower/bathroom was outdated, there was lots of hot water and nice water pressure. Honestly an updated bathroom wouldn't fit the vibe and charm of this place anyway. They had soft music playing and nice lights to light up the pool area at night. They have live music on certain nights (an excellent surprise!) and they had a nice fireworks display on NYE (also a nice surprise). As other reviewers have said-- there are cats and chicken and roosters. Not the hotels cats but strays and neighbor cats that like to come by to visit. There are peacocks and we even saw a wild pig nearby one evening. The view is absolutely amazing of the mountains. What put this hotel over the top was the staff. They made sure we are breakfast before checking out and we're genuine and kind. We loved the Kauai Inn and will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Kauai.

I thought this place was a really nice change from the resorts. Staff was great, rooms were clean if a little dated. It was located out in the middle of nowhere but close to everything in Lihue, so it had a real nice old Hawaii feel. The live music was great. Small family run place.
