1 review for Kauai Palms Hotel
Best accommodation I've ever had: The Princess Cruise Ship cabin. Parents paid. Still give Kate V and me grief about the thickness of our bar tabs.
Worst accommodation: Shithole in the Cinque Terre. I do not use the word shithole lightly. When I employ that epithet, be assured that the place is just a hair away from being a literal toilet.
Kauai Palms: Light years away from the Italian shithole. For $70 a night, we got a king-sized bed on the second level. The ceiling fan worked. The closeness to the airport was helpful, and the location of Lihue serves as a handy gateway to both the North and South shores. The ceiling fan worked. A flat-screen TV sat on the wall, although I never turned it on. The ceiling fan worked. We encountered three different employees at the front desk and each one was really nice. The ceiling fan worked. The sheets felt clean and ironed. Did I mention the ceiling fan? And for the air-con aficionados who turn up their noses at that so-called primitive means of keeping cool, let me just say that my lips never chapped. They always do when I stay in a room with an air conditioner. I'm sensitive about that sort of thing.
The only sore point resided in the dingy bathroom. Sure, we got cute and complimentary shampoos from The Body Shop, but the bathroom almost put me off wanting to use them. The floor and shower stall needed some one-on-one time with a scrub brush. The first time I ever wore flip-flops (slippahs, for the Hawaii readers) during showers was college. The last time in the past two years was at the shithole in Italy. The most recent time was the Kauai Palms. My threshold for filth can be alarmingly high - I blame my Catholic upbringing - but that shithole opened my eyes. Kauai Palms could do much better in that area. How about picking up the shredded, used tissue near the toilet? I know, tourists and their crazy-ass demands. It's a trifling aspect since the price is so low. The simplicity of the room welcomes the weary traveler who needs a place to lay her head but doesn't plan to spend too much time camped out in a room while on Kauai. Anyway, you could do much worse with other budget-level lodgings. How do you say "still kicks that Italian shithole's ass any day" in Hawaiian?
