AC in your face
Cleanliness is fine, it was recently renovated, apparently. The AC blows air right into your face, when you're in bed. It's positioned on the wall to the left of the bed and the wall is 4 feet (1meter) away. If you like that, you'll have an awesome time. Right now I'm reviewing bc I can't sleep, I had to shut it down.

Fun and downtown earth resort.
It was just an overnight from the Big Island. Just to see the different scenery. But I am impressed by this beach side resort. You can enjoy swimming during the day and dancing and jacuzzi at night. Next door walking distance, you can enjoy shopping and eating and drinking! Also not too far from the airport, which is very convenient.

Best motel 6 I’ve stayed in with free valet
This is a maybe a 3 star hotel. Rooms were fine but more motel style but I guess for Kuaii that’s the best you will do without spending $600 a night on a real resort. Everyone was friendly. Everything worked in the rooms and everything was clean. Again I felt like it was an upgraded motel. The pool was nothing special but you are right in a beautiful beach so use the beach. Upside was free valet a huge plus and downside was breakfast sucked and wasn’t worth the money whatsoever. They need new chefs and breakfast cooks because the preparation and quality was not worthy of a Denny’s and priced like a 4 star. You’re better off going into town. Also the hotel features Hawaiian Tropic amenities which was also a nice touch.

Nice & Reasonable Hotel
Kauai Shores hotel is somewhat reasonable in price. The restaurant was a bit costly, but it’s breakfast food was quite delicious. The restaurant service and beach views were wonderful. Please, be aware that chicken, roosters, and baby chicks will enter the restaurant. The hotel room is clean and the walk-in-shower is pretty and spacious. Kauai Shores hotel is also very near Coconut Marketplace. Fantastic place to view hula dancers, singers, shop, and eat.

2/10 Poor

Manger sucks!
First I tried to check in 2 hour early. Front desk says nothing available. Fine. But told me they would text me when 1 becomes available. 2 hours go by no call. Get to hotel at 3:30 still nothing available even though they checked in 3 other couples in front me. The front desk girl says I found a room it just wasn’t the room they had assigned to me (even though it was the same kind of room I had reserved) I asked the manager there at the time if I could be upgraded. But she said Nope just like that without even asking what happened. So she sucks!!! Her answer was “we do not check in people till 4pm”. (Even though as I stated before 3 other couples just checked in ahead of me).so she lied right in my face. So I told her your customer service sucks. And she was alful after that laughing it off like she had all this power. Very rude stuck up manager

The property is extremely well maintained with kind and helpful staff. The pool and hot tub were splendid. The restaurant was also a great option for dining. Parking can be difficult but the free valet made it no issue. Highly recommend.
