Motel Lani is a simple, no-frills motel in Lihue town, known for being the best value and having the lowest prices on Kauai. The rooms are clean, quiet, and cool with air conditioning. They include a bed, fridge, toilet, sink, and a working shower, but there is no TV, wifi, phone, soap, or shampoo. It is not a resort. The motel is perfectly located just a block from a great brewery and near restaurants, and it is close to main streets. Reservations are by phone only, booked in a notebook, and must be made early as rooms are rarely available and often sold out for months. Payment is cash only with tax included. It is ideal for those who plan to explore the island all day and just need a clean, cool, and quiet place to sleep and shower.
Glenn was amazing. Very clean rooms, great hospitality and very convenient spot.
