My stay at Kauai Inn was mostly positive! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had a great experience despite our last-minute booking. However, the cleanliness of the rooms was a big letdown, which was quite disappointing. The location is fantastic, providing both a peaceful atmosphere and easy access to key spots on the island. Overall, it was a decent value for the price we paid, but there were some areas for improvement.
