This hotel is nestled within the hills of the Lihue area. It really liked the atmosphere of the outdoor area. The pool closes at 10 pm which is a perfect time for me. The breakfast in the morning was very relaxing with an amazing view of the mountains.

The rooms are not insulated, so if you don't use the AC, the room will get uncomfortably hot. They play Hawaiian-themed music all day until 10 pm. It's not a serious problem because you can't hear it from your room, but it's still a little overkill when you're outside.

Location is good. The outdoor vibe is very nice. The included breakfast was good. The staff was pretty good.

Very minor things. Only one coffee maker was working at breakfast, causing some delay. They should put a big sign asking people not to feed the chickens or peacocks because firstly it is not healthy for the birds and they run around and can be too distracting for people having breakfast.

Friendly staff and great history! The hotel has been in this location since 1890! Great to experience this little piece of history and a wonderful launching point to explore Kauai. Looking forward to returning sometime in the future!

Location was good as we had a car. However, if you have no vehicle, then you may need to walk out further to get meals etcetera. But the distance is walkable as they are shops at Anchor Cove area. Breakfast was excellent- it was a good start to the day and they provided croissants, bagels, toast, muffins, cereal and yogurt as well and also fresh fruits like papaya and star fruit and oranges/grapefruit( did not try this). Coffee and tea provided the entire day. The area to have the breakfast was really nice and lots of tables and chairs outside and around the pool there was live music on Mondays, Wed and Friday night and we were there on Monday. So we had our dinner at the pool area while we listened to the music As for the room and bathroom, it was really clean but the facility itself is old( since 1930s I think) and so the rooms were dated - bathroom needs to be upgraded definitely although shower had nice hot water Bed was comfortable and no complains on that. Very warm front desk staff and also other staff were nice and friendly.

Bathroom- need to be remodeled.

This was about our 4th visit here. The breakfast was a big improvement over our previous time. Breakfast has always been outside in the sun but on our first morning it rained so we took everything back to our room. There are quite a lot of cats live there but they are quiet and don't make a nuisance of themselves. Everything was as we remembered it. If we didn't like it we would have looked at somewhere else to stay.

Because we'd stayed here before we picked up our rental car and confidently set off. We reached the one way bridge near the property and were confronted by a solid line of concrete blocks. We couldn't find a way to get around them and our mobile phone was out of action but a man in a business directed us so we not only found the property, we found a lot of places like supermarkets on the way. It's expensive, but that's Kauai.

the location is really cute.

There were little ants in our room that I am pretty sure were biting ants

We loved the live music! We were very fortunate to have music on the patio 2 out of the 3 nights we were there. Whatever the downfalls are the staff is so wonderful and helpful that you forget. Breakfasts were great and coffee was awesome!

Things could have been updated a bit more but in reality it didn’t matter the bed and pillows were awesome we slept so good. location was great. We had wanted the bridge not to be blocked to beach but we drove around it. If you walk to the beach it would be a bit scary as there are quite a few homeless people on the way so we decided to drive. The hotel is wonderful!

Overall, this is an excellent property! Kauai is not a cheap place to visit but I thought this property was very good value. The staff were excellent, incredibly friendly and going out of their way to make sure your were enjoying your stay. The continental breakfast was always fresh and plentiful. The location was incredible central. The airport was a 10 minute ride away. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. There were lots of Roosters, chickens, chicks, peacocks & cats roaming the property. I loved it! There was a fun Friday night social where they provide complimentary drinks & snacks & brought it a musical performer ( he was quite good!) and had this super amazing 13 year old fire dancer perform. House keeping was great- always restocking toiletries & towels. They have a HUGE selection of things that other guests have purchased and left behind on a first come first serve basis. It was AWESOME. They had snorkel gear, coolers, beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, etc all available to borrow for FREE. Very cool.

There were no restaurants on site. The closest restaurant was less than a 5 min drive away though. I think it would be dangerous to walk to the nearest restaurant because you would be walking on a busy street with no sidewalk & over ground plants. The property could use some updates- the fixtures in the sink were rusty for example. There was a big hole outside our lanai. It looks like they were doing some updates but never bothered to finish it and instead hung caution tape up. It took away from the beauty of our space. The pool was super shallow & small. My boyfriend used it just the once.

The grounds and staff were lovely. My kids enjoyed petting the cats, feeding the peacocks, chickens and roosters wandering around freely. We enjoyed the complimentary 24hr coffee bar and daily breakfast (fruit, pastries, oatmeal). Staff were friendly and helpful in providing recommendations and storing luggage after check-ing out. I loved how beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, boogey boards, board games, and books could be borrowed on an honor system. They were also very generous with the toiletries. It was a short drive to a convenience store and local food trucks and restaurants. We spent our days exploring Kauai- location was good for going to northern or southern beaches and didn't return until the evenings.

Rooms are dated but clean. Roosters are incredibly annoying in the morning (but they are all over Kauai so nothing the Inn could do about them). We just turned our AC fan on loud to try to block the noise. But mostly, I wish there had been a hot tub. Without the hot tub, our family did not use the swimming pool- too cold by itself.

Quiet convenient location
