My stay with my husband at the GII was amazing! This was our first stop after landing into Kauia. We were immediately greeted by the friendly front desk hostess, Angela. She makes you feel at home and provides you with anything you need (movies, popcorn, beach towels, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, etc). The breakfast spread is comprehensive, beautiful and yummy! The hotel shower is nice and hot. The hotel is earth friendly, using plates and coffee mugs versus your usual plastic wear. They also use refillable shampoo/soap/lotion, therefore minimizing waste. The decorations are super cute and give

Because our timeshare at the Pono Kai Resort is Saturday to Saturday and my last tournament softball game was also on Saturday, Wyatt and i had to find a "new" place to sleep that night. with their great Yelp reviews and proximity to the airport in Lihue, "we" decided on the GARDEN ISLAND INN.
a very cute boutique hotel across the street (technically the Kuhio Highway) from the beach with (as i hope you can tell from my pictures) a strong art theme. everybody who worked there absolutely went out of their way to make us feel welcome and the breakfast spread made for great snacking

This place has made our honeymoon a breeze! We walked in and got handed maps of all the famous locations around Kauai and they even reward you with prizes of you go and see them. The beach is literally 2… minutes away and was perfect for me and my wife to walk to in the morning and watch the sunrise. Our room was so welcoming and super clean. And they offer complimentary breakfast to all guests and the hawaiian pie that Lis and Steve make is amazing!

Such an incredible experience staying here. We stayed here while on our honeymoon and it made it ten times better then expected! We loved everything from the warm hospitality, amazing complimentary breakfast,… clean rooms and warm art all over. It was close to everything - the beach, restaurants, airport, shopping and adventure. The owners/property managers make sure everything is 110% for all of their guests. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed here because we arrived one day before our timeshare was ready. I was drawn to this place because of its location and because of the wonderful reviews. And the reviews proved to be true! While this place doesn't offer the luxurious feeling of a name brand five star hotel, it offers so much charm and has so many personal touches that it makes name brand hotels seem cold and unfriendly. Here are some of the personal touches. We only stayed one night, so this list is by no way exhaustive!
1. The lady who checked us in (Angela) was so sweet! Very smooth and quick check in. Angela told

DO NOT BOOK AT THIS HOTEL I booked a night at this hotel 4 months before my travel date. Now a week before I am traveling to Hawaii they have called to tell me that they are cancelling my reservation and refunding my money. It is one week before winter break starts and there are no hotels available. They refused to take responsibility for their error, claiming it was a "computer glitch". They eventually offered us a free night on a future stay, but that does not help us find another room the week before we are do to leave for a mid-winter school break vacation.

Booked this spot from Expedia because all of the hotels were booked or outrageously expensive. Luckily I got a room here and it was in Lihue which was close to the wedding I was about to attend. The people here were very friendly an kind. I was worried that the room wouldn't have A/C or anything but it had a huge King bed and A/C with internet. There were two sinks and a coffee maker. I would definitely stay here again.

Such a cute place.
The outside looks like an apartment building with 3 floors. There are trees around the property with a sitting area under a tree. A lot of Christmas lights on the trees. There's also a koi pond.
They serve coffee and treats in the morning, in the reception area. They also have a wall with items that you can rent for free. Like DVDs, beach chairs & noodle floaters and beach towels.
The AC unit, shower, and two beds (1 queen, 1 full). Well, the room that we got. Small fridge, coffee maker, with coffee and tea.
The shampoo/conditioner, soap, and lotion are organic but

This is a solid 3-Star quality hotel with 5-Star quality service. Yes, the rooms need updating, but the location is prime and the service is unparalleled. The selection of beach gear (umbrellas, towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, and beach toys) is plentiful. They also use the honor system to check these items out which was much appreciated. The breakfast items were free and delicious. They have a welcome snack pack including water bottles, popcorn, and granola bars. These were very much appreciated at 10pm when we arrived. We will be back.

This hotel was great for my family they offered towels, Beach Chairs and other stuff that you may need for the beach that's right across from the hotel. They treated us with a great welcome when we arrived. They brought us papaya fruit for breakfast and have complimentary coffee and granola bars in the office. I also enjoyed our room it was really nice with a microwave and a refrigerator. We had the top floor and it was very nice I'll be sure to come back to stay there again when I visit Kauai which I might add is a beautiful island.

The Garden Island Inn has to be my favorite hotel experience I have ever had! I highly recommend staying here when in Lihue!
The hotel itself is stunning! There are so many unique details everywhere you look! It creates such a magical and homey feeling! The rooms were very tidy. One common problem I found when researching hotels in Kauai was cockroaches. Never once did we see them at the hotel! Just toads, geckos and chickens! The staff was very helpful and welcoming. There was a light breakfast and coffee every morning which was very nice. And so many places within walking distance!

I'm a fan. Island feel type of hotel. This hotel is older but is very clean, close to the beach, airport, small shops and eateries. The small lawn out front gives a relaxing place to sit and eat the provided complimentary pie, bananas and coffee in the morning. They offer lawn chairs, umbrellas, games, DVDs, towels and more for their guest to use during their stay. The staff are very friendly and I believe the owners live on-site. I stayed in a studio type of room on the first floor which included a full size bed, mounted flat screen tv, kitchenette sink, microwave, coffee maker and mini refrigerator

Older but updated and very artsy touches. Great location!! The staff are wonderful. So many nice touches such as : homemade pastries, bananas still on the vine hanging over their lobby fountain with koi, free use of paddle board, chairs, beach towels, games, etc! Plenty of free snack bars and a filtered water machine to fill up your bottles.. Just a great place.

We were very happy with our stay here! It's hard to rate in stars -- no, this is not a 5-star resort. As evident by the affordable price, it's more of a 3-star accommodation. But they provided 5-star service for what they are, hence the rating.
Staff are beyond friendly. My husband inquired about ice to learn there was no ice machine, but the staff bustled off and returned with a gallon ziplock filled to the brim with ice in no time.

Cute place with very friendly staff! Great location.
We stayed here one night during our recent vacation and we really enjoyed it. The hotel is located right across the street from the Marriott property and the locals surf spot at K-bay. There is a hot and cold water dispenser in the lobby as well as cookies and pastries at the front desk throughout the day.
Our room was very cute, decorated with colorful walls and bedding. The room and the bathroom was very clean. We had a good night sleep. There is a large garden on the property full of beautiful trees and plants. We even got some organic
