We stayed here for our first night on the island. It's close to the airport. Good location - close to the nice Kalapaki beach (at the Marriott) and dining. The staff was very friendly and offered complimentary use of their beach gear (snorkels, masks,etc). Our room had a clean bathroom with a shower stall, a kitchenette area with a fridge,... more

We enjoyed our stay immensely! Great value, beautiful gardens, wonderfully painted artistic rooms and best of all....the people running the place bent over backwards to make our stay wonderful. more

Great central location, can get to all parts of the Island quickly. Close to the airport but we never really heard air traffic. The staff of this hotel was exceptional and took personal interest in our stay. When we arrived, we met Annie, working the front desk at the Garden Island Inn. Her warm and vivacious personality make her a... more

The Garden Island Inn is a short taxi-ride from the airport (about $10) and across the street from the Kalapaki Beach and Marriott Resort.

There was some noise... more

Good for a night or two if you need to be close the airport. The price is high for what you get. Kauai is awesome so if this place fits your budget go for it. Make sure you look around at some of the bigger hotels because they run specials more

I can't think of a bad thing to say about the Garden Island Inn. A short taxi fare from the airport but far enough away from it to not be annoyed by aircraft noise. The rooms are lovely and the local bus stops right out front. The staff are very helpful and the price is right. There is also 24... more

I spent 9 nights at the Garden Island Inn in December 2008. I am extremely happy with everything this hotel offered. The rooms were reasonable large and very clean. Each room had a refrigerator and a microwave oven. They even offered me the choice of all rooms avaible at that time. The beach is right across the street, within a... more
