I chose this hotel because of its location and price. Only 5 min and $10 by taxi. I arrived late night but the front desk person took care of me well. The hotel has Wi-Fi but I couldn't connect the first night and I had to wait umtil the next morning to figure it out. The next morning, I asked... more

Place was clean, Plenty of parking. Cool staff. Free wi-fi. Close to local and affordable restaurants. Nearby classic thrift store and Kauai Museum that is really cool. It has a nice indoor/outdoor patio room that is perfect for reading and socializing with fellow travelers. The location is key because you are close to the airport and all roads that lead... more

Spend a little more and go someplace else. We did not mind the very small room, the carpet was old and worn but clean. The bedding was fresh and the towels as well. The problem, unfortunately, is the element that's allowed to frequent the place. The management needs to monitor it's guests more diligently. We were there on a Thursday... more

My husband and I stayed at the Kauai Palms Hotel as a stepping stone to our timeshare rental. We stayed one night and that was more than plenty. I do not like to write negative reviews but, we both could not take the dirtiness of the place. There were cockroaches crawling about, the baseboards and curtains had old mold, dust... more

It's a relatively cheap hotel to stay at considering all the other hotels on the island cost more. It's got all the essentails you need, but it's certainly not luxury nor spotless. I booked Room #25 at first, then they said they can only give me Room #1 because the room I wanted became a long-term rental. I asked if... more

Loved it!!

My husband and I decided to stay at the Kauai Palms hotel for 4 main reason, the location is very central to everything we planned to do, the price was right (we didn't travel to Kauai to stay at a hotel, we wanted to explore - so we didn't want to pay for many amenities we weren't going to be... more

Enjoyed our stay, rooms clean, not real spacious, but very comfortable. Price was right, just perfect for the budget minded. Hard to visualize some of the previous negative reviews. more

My husband and I stayed at Kauai Palms for 3 nights, largely because of the low rate they offered ($65/night). We knew it would be a no-frills kind of place, but since when does no-frills mean that guests should contend with cockroaches, stained carpet, rusty bathroom fixtures, sagging beds, windows that don't properly shut, and incessant noise? On our 1st... more
