Kaua'i Palms Hotel
Terrible beds and pillows. Really dated. AC (window unit) didn't work until staff came and got it working. Insufficient electrical outlets and the one in the bathroom sparked when we plugged the phone in to charge it.

Kauai Shores Hotel
Wonderful hotel only one we seen with restaurant/bar right on beach. View from our room was lovely. Room was clean and comfortable. There was some small damage to the wall in the restroom but nothing major. The food was a solid 4 stars. We didn’t care for the ribs and the potatoes served with breakfast ...
