Staff was nice, helpful and accommodating. We got in early, so we were going to drop off our luggage, but she checked if our room was ready and it was so able to check-in at 11. Bed was surprisingly comfortable. The place is old but room was adequate. Free parking in front or rear of hotel. Nearby restaurant, Kauai Diner was good.

The staff was kind and helpful and the outside of the hotel was well maintained. Our room was just okay though and the bathroom was covered in long black hair when we arrived. We left quite early in the morning and washed all our clothes as soon as possible

There was no coffee pot in room. There was amazing coffee in the lobby after 8am. But it was gone fast. Managed to get coffee 1 out of 4 days.
I recommend packing instant.
Not all rooms have air-conditioning
It is a 2 story building with stair way to upper level no elevator.
I would stay in a ground level room with air conditioning next time

When we booked this hotel, we didn't realize it was in the area it was in. While the desk clerk was very friendly and courteous, the hotel nor the area would be something we would stay in again.

When I arrived, the front office employee was not friendly. She didn't give me instructions or help orient me to the hotel. This is really more of a motel. The widows are glass slats that are not locked. I did not feel safe as a single woman knowing my windows were basically open all night and day. Also, the walls are paper thin. I could hear a pen drop, people talking, walking, and I know they heard me too! The room does have an AC window unit, which was a nice addition. Lastly, bring your own towel. The towels are very thin and are tiny. You can hardly dry yourself off.

This is an older hotel, but with a good price for Kauai. For two people, I would recommend getting a “deluxe” studio which includes a kitchenette and air conditioner. Not all rooms have air conditioning. It was great to have complimentary coffee every morning and lemon water in the afternoon in the lobby. The location in Lihue is not the best, but if you have a car, it is a great place from which to explore the island. There is a great Chinese restaurant a couple of blocks away..lots of good food at a very reasonable price. The highlight of our two nights there was the person at the front desk…Rini! She is a pleasure to talk to and will share information about local restaurants and any other info you may need. Her enthusiasm is contagious.
There is a great beach about a mile away. The hotel is conveniently close to the airport.
Many stores within easy driving distance.

Parking is limited that part was stressful because our flight came in late and we couldn't park on site. Good stay overall on a budget or for a quick stay however after seeing the rooms, I wouldve traded for a bigger room if it was available.

I had a nice little cottage with kitchenette. I enjoy cooking my own dinners which the room did have a hot plate but there were quite a bit of little roaches and ants that was coming out of know where and crawling around my pupus. I didn't want to prep or cook anything using the hot plate. Other than that it was good. Not that the price was cheap but hotels in Kauai are so expensive so for the price I would definitely stay there again.

There is an amazing collection of Hawaiian artifacts on display in the lobby at f the hotel. If you are not looking for luxury accommodations, Would definitely recommend this hotel!

This is a wonderful hotel if you are looking for a quiet place that has an authentic Hawaiian feel. The lobby is essentially a museum and is fascinating to take a trip back in time. My girls loved the hotel cat, Mango, and really enjoyed their stay. Also, there are several really good locally owned restaurants within walking distance, so support the locals!! I really enjoyed our stay and will be back when I get the chance.

The room was fine... but due to the age of the place, there was a concern about using multiple electrical items at one time... ie. No a/c if you need to run the microwave, or dry your hair with the blow dryer. But they did supply everything that I needed... but no beverage machine on the premises... gotta take a quick walk to nearby stores or restaurants... literally a quick walk!

Small older hotel, in an older section of town. We just needed the night to sleep as we arrived late. The staff were very helpful and friendly in coordinating to have our room and key ready in a lock box. If you are arriving late please make prior arrangements. There was another guest, who happened to be on our prior flight, who had not made arrangements, but I gave them the contact information and the staff were able to assist them to their room

Older electric and plumbing systems require you to be careful and respectful. Room looked clean and small. Just the basics and good for anyone who does not plan to spend time indoors for a trip. Did not stay long, AC worked and checked out early with complimentary coffee. Limited parking around front and back of property.

Ok so let me start off by saying this was the coziest staycation. It was my first time visiting Hawaii and their rate was the best compared to the big name competitors. Booking something small is always scary but when I walked in I noticed how clean it was. It’s super close diners and cafes and there’s a Walmart close by for any last minute items. They have a fridge in the unit and offer AC. In the AM it’s just coffee but when you’re in Hawaii there’s plenty of food elsewhere. This place will stay on my list for any future Kaua’i trips.

Super warm and cozy lodging. Feels like a home away from home. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. My cottage was very clean but it is an older building in general so not spotless. Saw a couple little insects throughout my stay (like centipedes) but with the building being older and made of wood, I expected this. No amenities but they are up front about that when booking and it’s reflected in the very affordable pricing. Cottage had everything I could need; hot plate, rice cooker, dishes and utensils, etc. I will say there’s significant noise. The walls are definitely thin and I was directly across from a pre-school. Front desk does offer earplugs. I would also keep my AC unit running for the air but it also drowned out most noise! Would definitely stay again!!!

We got a \"cottage\" (really a small room connected to others), which included a small kitchen area with fridge, microwave and some utensils & plates. A little tight, but good AC, TV & bed; office area with Hawiian history displays and good free coffee in the morning; nicely tended grounds; good location for walking around Lahue; about a mile to beach, airport or Walmart. Friendly, helpful folks.

Very old property. Had a room upstairs right next to the stairs. Other guests were dragging suitcases up right next to our open window. Very noisy. Had to keep windows open because it was very warm and there was NO AC! And no elevator for us to get our luggage to our room. Fortunately someone helped us as we are in our late sixties.

Tiniest bathroom I’ve ever seen! Room is also very small. No night stand or electrical on one side.

Questionable neighborhood. The front desk is behind glass/plastic and closes at 8 pm. Heard sirens nearby 4 times and fireworks close by.

The positive notes- very close to airport and inexpensive. Which had us saying “you get what you pay for”. I would definitely pay more at another location in the future.

A quick drive to the harbor (good eats, beech, indoor mini golf & a lighthouse) and close to the airport, costco, target etc. we found it a good hub to drive to both ends of the island’s roads However, Lihue itself isnt really walkable and the north side (Hanalei) which has a cuter towny vibe and great food & drink is ~45 mins drive away. Not a ding but worth knowing up front

Free parking was available in front of the hotel and in a small rear lot. Street parking was also available. We walked two blocks to the Kauai Diner for a nice breakfast. All in all, we would recommend the Kauai Palms for its budget prices, convenient location minutes from the airport and eateries like Hamura Saimin and the Kauai Diner.

Shower was so painful and not adjustable due to the intense pressure and leaks all over the floor because the intense pressure would blow the curtain open. Very small space. Bedding had an intense fabric softener smell, and bed was so bouncy that everytime my partner or kid moved, I woke up from the vibration. The room needs some upgrading, maybe even more than 2 forks.

our room was very clean. the two bedroom cottage was nice for our family of four. we stayed just one night before we flew back to the mainland after a two week vacation on the north shore. I wish we had dedicated a few more days to stay in the Kauai Palms and explore the south shore and Waimea Canyon, etc. the kitchen supported our final night \"happy hour\" and a quick breakfast in the morning. we walked from our cottage to the near by Rob's good time for a fun and good dinner. In the morning we walked over to a coffee place. I liked the area. It was quiet on the weekend although I imagine there is activity on weekdays with the nearby preschool and businesses. I recommend the Kauai Palms. It has character.

Probably the only good thing was its location. I use Expedia quite a bit and reviews have been reliable but found it misleading for this particular property. We passed property twice when we first arrived thinking it can not be the hotel with such high reviews for a vacation we’ve been looking forward for many months. Property is just old in a not so nice looking part of town and room we got was very small, with shower barely enough to move around. No sufficient space to unpack luggage, all our clothes were in our bags entire one week. I inquired about cancel options with Expedia but after few days came back and said we can’t cancel and we made a mistake of pre paying entire bill for a presumed deal. In retrospect, it was a big mistake. Imagine you’ve been dreaming of a Hawaii vacation, which is not cheap, and picture yourself in the room (pictures) before booking.

Firstly, this hotel may look like a motel but cleanliness is their priority. Next, their service is impeccable. The rooms may be small but the bed is so comfortable. If you get a chance, you must take some time to visit their mini museum and schedule a tour with Uncle Ron who is so passionate about his culture and sharing knowledge about Hawaii. I learned so much and it left me a very warm fuzzy feeling of love for the people and the island. Thank you. The signage and instructions posted everywhere in the hotel and rooms are great. It is the work of a hotel manager that has lots of experience in knowing what customers need in the service industry. I was super excited to see free Kauai coffee for breakfast. This hotel is such a good value for price. Lastly, I see a lot of dedicated workers who were busy cleaning and doing maintenance on the property. I love seeing that. I love the location and the ease of walking distance to many restaurants, cafe, shops, a brewery and all. I will be back to Kauai and will not hesitate to stay here again.

I enjoyed my experience with the buidling location, staff, and the available amenities. The staff was very kind and informative with guests. They also had snorkel gear, beach chair, pool noodle, and beach umbrella rentals available free of charge. That was a nice perk as I was unable to pack a beach chair and it was nice not having to sit in the hot sand all day. They also had two microfiber beach towels included for use with the room.
The parking lot was a small gravel lot down an alley in the back of the building with only about 8 spaces available. After 8pm the lot filled up, but I was able to find a spot each night. My room was tidy and very practical, especially for only one traveler.
I stayed in the Deluxe Studio and did not like the location of my room. It only had access directly in the lobby. It was very loud in the evening and especially in the morning with people arriving or departing, there was also a microwave in the lobby that people kept slamming shut. With the location of this room practically in the lobby it did not feel very private and I was a female traveling alone, very concerned that people might try to access my room based on it being in the lobby and not marked well. The room also had a skylight that did not have any coverage available, so the morning light shone in bright and early.
I would recommend this hotel and I would stay here again, as long and I did not have a room in the lobby.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. The cottage we were upgraded to was clean and very cute. However, I’m not giving a five star reading because the comfort of the bed and furniture is a thumbs down. The bed was super hard. The sheets were not soft. The couch did not have enough cushion and hurt our bottoms and same for the chairs in the living room.
Location is convenient because it’s close to everything however, if you’re a light sleeper, I wouldn’t recommend staying here as there is a lot of activity going on in the night garbage trucks, vehicles driving by with loud music that kept us up.

The first room that I paid for through Expedia and checked in was super hot they did not turn on the AC before we arrived so it was like 90°. We had three twin beds and one small AC. It was not acceptable so we asked if we can be moved. They moved us into a cottage which ended up costing 90 extra dollars for the night, but it had three small ACs And definitely was worth the upgrade for a better night sleep it was extremely hot and humid we was not able to get any of the amenities. I think all they offered was coffee anyways so it was about $300 for a night. It was OK. It looked like it was pretty close to several little restaurants but we did not go to them. We had other things on our agenda that we were doing. Next time I would pay a little extra and possibly have a pool and some other amenities for about the same price or a little bit more.
