9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,419 reviews)
For a family of 5 there are few places that offer single room options so we were fortunate to find the Kauai Inn. The room wasn't fancy but it was clean and there were lots of amenities we enjoyed like the fresh fruit and pastries at breakfast each morning (the manager would even come around and offer a flower to the ladies for their hair), 24hr ice, water and coffee, Mon and Wed night live music, free beach towel/snorkel/wakeboard rental, Sat movie night and super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our only negative was the first night we arrived late via uber from the airport and were not able to walk anywhere to get food, we ordered a pizza and then had it cancelled by Pizza Hut an hour later because they didn't have drivers and couldn't get a doordash driver to deliver it -- no dinner for us that night. So it was a very convenient location once we got a rental car but unsafe to walk the roads at night into town due to lack of visibility and being somewhat isolated. We did walk to the beach and nearby shops just over a mile away during the day. I would highly recommend the Kauai Inn.
