The room was clean but the property had clutter that needed to be cleaned up. My room had no issues, had no ocean view, the park and ocean view are a block away. I cooked on the barbeque and used the pavilion, that was great. The beach near the hotel has cloudy water from the river, a few miles down the road are perfect beaches.

Great location, clean and just a short walk to the local beach while you enjoy that morning cup of coffee! The staff are wonderful to with local tips and help in any way.
We came from a few time zones east so the morning roosters were fine with us, still set your alarm as you get used to them after a day or two. Waimea canyon access is a few minutes drive. A great coffee shop and local movie theater is across the street. Kids bring your boogie boards as you can catch the river current out and then ride the waves back in. We were lucky to catch the Chinese New Year celebration in Hanapepe that the kids will love but every Friday night is an arts night celebration there. Talk Story Bookstore has moved from their original location unfortunately but the kids will love to be in the home town of Lilo and Stitch. .

A surprising gem of a find.

Not to be confused with the WESTIN hotel chain, this small hotel is the only hotel we could find on the far west end of the island close to the canyons and boat excursions to avoid an early morning drive from the 'big\" city. We were pleasantly surprised to find this gem with new/ remodeled rooms, clean, good ac. Would recommend this for those wanting to be close to Napoli and canyon tours.

nice stay, love the snacks they left for us, did not love that the 3 nights we were there room service did not show up or ask if we needed any towels or anything but for the most part very pleasant stay and convenient. Also thought it was a bit overpriced, $300 the night was a bit too much for not having pool and other amenities. Something i did love was the communication with the person i booked was pretty on point until the check in process, loved that texting was with fast response. Love the vintage old town feel… i would visit again! Overall pretty good experience.

Waimea is a very quiet, laid back, \"old school\" country style town so you need to keep that in mind when creating expectations for a stay in this area. The property appeared to be well maintained and recently updated. Our room was clean, had a nice welcome basket and tiny kitchenette and worked well enough for just resting our heads. Rooms are cleaned only twice a week according to their directions but sadly no one came to clean our room on the designated day. We took out our own trash but didnt have clean towels after a few days which was disappointing. There are coin operated washers and dryers on property but be prepared with your own quarters. It costs $2 for each machine. Management was rarely on property when we were there but you could reach someone by phone if you needed to talk to someone. Our window a/c unit cooled our room just fine but it did take a few days to get used to the sound of it turning on and off in the middle of the night. There were several places to eat within walking distance amd two grocery stores also nearby. Overall, this place worked for our basic needs.

Cozy, clean, convenient, cute

The cozy room that my family and I stayed in came with 2 comfortable double beds, nice cold ac, free parking, big tv, kitchen with dishes, sink, and a microwave. I loved the location because we took a boat tour of the Na Pali Coast from the Kikiaola Boat Harbor located only a few minutes away. The Waimea Canyon was also conviniently located. This hotel is located in the cute town of Waimea. We were lucky enough to attend the Art Night in Hanapepe located in the next town, which occurs every Friday.

When on vacation, we don't usually stay in resorts because we only use the room to wind down and get ready for our next adventure for the following day. So I have to mention that if you love hot steamy showers like me, be aware that AT NIGHT the water doesn't get really hot. It only gets warmat night. I know this because i also took a shower in the afternoon after the boat trip and the water got really hot, how I like it.

Another detail I'd like to mention are the walls are thin. Our neighbors were blasting their music, but had the courtesy of turning it off before it got late.

Other than that, if you like a cute cozy clean hotel in a cute town and convenient location next to the boat harbor and Waimea Canyon, then this is the hotel for you. It's not a resort and not a shabby motel. This hotel/ motel still exceeds expectations. I would definitely stay here again. Love it!!

My 3 girl friends and I spent 3 nights at this hotel during our trips. The manager Oscar went above and beyond during our stay.

We got here with many suitcases, and the hotel only has stairs. Oscar was determined to get us the best parking spot right next to the staircase. That really saved us a trip, since we were all tired from our flight.

The next day, one of my friends got injured on a hike. After learning it in a causal conversion at the parking lot, Oscar went to his office and got her some medicine. Even though my friend’s ankle didn’t heal over night, it definitely had helped her survive for the rest of the trip.

Our amazing stay with Oscar was topped off with the town celebration event. Oscar accommodated us from start to finish- getting us drinks from secret menu and helping us make friends with the locals. We truly had a blast at the event.

We hit so many problems in this journey, and the most heartwarming experience was when Oscar showed up when my friend lost her wallet. My friend was devastated when she found out she lost her wallet at 12am. We ran downstairs to look for her wallet in the car. Oscar, on a duty, approached us and helped us with the search. He went out of his way to call the shop that we might left it at. The next day after we checked out, he even called us to follow up.

We are so grateful to meet Oscar. He was a highlight to our stay. Plus, the hotel was clean and spacious enough for 4 adults. Who can ask for more.

This is a locally owned, old fashioned (in a good way) inn that reminded me of road trip places we stayed as a family when I was a child. It is clean, well equipped with a nice kitchenette, and absolutely walking distance to all of the restaurants and shops on the main street in Waimea. We decided to stay here for one night after touring the Waimea Canyon area before a very early check in to a catamaran tour of the Na Pali coast leaving from Port Allen (Eleele) the next day. We had a fun dinner in town and an overall great stay.

Great job meeting needs.

The host was so very hospitable and friendly. We were warmly greeted and taken good care of.
Our needs were well met. The room had plates, silverware, dish soap and a clean sponge. This detail was great considering our plan to reheat leftovers for dinner one night. That was perfect.
The only reason I didn't give this a stay the highest rating is because little odd things in the room weren't finished. The mirror behins the sink wasn't attached to the wall but just resting on the counter. It didn't affect our needs but was odd.

Surprisingly clean and spacious. It’s obviously very well managed and very much impressed us - a couple of very frequent travelers.

Highly Recommended

Because we were staying over a week, they upgraded us to a one bedroom suite. It was spacious, comfortable, secure, quiet, and very conveniently located. The kitchenette was nicely stocked with cookware, utensils, and even some basic pantry items. As an added bonus, there's a washer and dryer so we could get laundry done. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a very short walk to the beach to watch the sunset over Ni'ihau, shop in Waimea, or dine at The Wrangler. This was our home base for exploring all the wonders of South Kaua'i and it suited us perfectly. We highly recommend The West Inn!

Convenient hotel in a great area

This hotel is in a great area. Right off the Main Street in Waimea. Close to the beach, fishing pier, restaurants, and markets. If you plan to stay in the Waimea area this is the best option. Word to the wise: Don’t stay in room 8. It’s very close to the office/lobby. The hours say it’s open from 11-6PM but trust me you will hear noises until 2-3AM. The office manager actually lives in the building which may be the reason why we heard conversations until early hours of the morning. We actually had to buy ear plugs to get through the night. Other than that this is a great hotel, great location, awesome amenities (laundry/bbq/kitchenette), and friendly staff.

Basic hotel room. Raging domestic fight next door (so not hotel's fault) but kept us up half the night and thinking we might need to call police. We thought there would be a courtyard to hang out in, but it was just a parking lot.

Definitely not the Westin, but not a bad place.

We rented a suite. It was really a dated old apartment with thin walls. The people in the unit next door were talking normally and it sounded like they were in our unit with us. Our balcony view was of one of the neighboring houses with all of their side yard clutter, kids toys, car tires, washer dryer, and broken down car missing a wheel.

On the flip side, the staff was super friendly, and it was a very short walk to Porky's (amazing food truck), and a number of stores and restaurants. They also gave us a really nice set of complimentary food, candy, and coffee upon arrival.

In short, don't for a minute confuse this with a resort. If you're looking for a reasonably quiet and affordable place to stay, it's a solid choice.

It was located within minutes walking distance to cute little eateries and touristy shops. There is a theater directly across the street that hosts special events throughout the year. For times when there isn't anything special going on, they usually have one movie showing each night. I think it's convenient location on that side of the island makes it a good choice. Parking is sufficient. Noise not a factor. Not really in the \"beach resort\" category, but holds its own against other \"motels\" in the area.

The room has a large balkony, where you can take your self-made breakfast with kauai coffee. Large room with high quality of anemities (marmor in bath and kitchenette). The room was near the mainstreet and a bit loud because of the traffic. That didn't matter.
