2 reviews for Motel Lani
My dad is pretty cheap. For his first trip out to Hawaii (for my wedding) he wanted me to book him at the cheapest hotel/motel/whatever we could find.
Aside from a hostel (not an option for my 64 year old father) this was it. 5 days was $220.25, cash only. He was stoked to have a room with A/C, a queen size bed, old dresser, refrigerator and a bathroom that's nicer and bigger than the one in my own apartment. There's a shaded seating area and it's within walking distance of a lot of restaurants and shops on the cheaper local side of things. Check out was at 11:30am which was WAAAAY better than our honeymoon hotel on the beach at Poipu (which we paid $200 a night for and we had to check out at 10am).
It's no bed and breakfast but all you're going to do is sleep in your room so who cares? You're on Kauai!

My girlfriend, Carol from UK stayed here after staying with me at the Plantation Hale because I was leaving for Waikiki, Oahu. Carol felt she needed some privacy after staying with me. Funny . . . Carol became spoiled after staying with me at such a wonderful vacation retreat! No wonder Carol wanted to experience more quiet solitude verses staying in the dorm rooms at Kauai International Hostel!
Besides, the Kauai International Hostel was booked solid, so Carol had no choice but to stay at this little hotel on Rice Street. The room Carol rented had a very small room: bed, a very tiny bathroom, microwave, and a little refrigerator-that's all.
Heading towards Lihue, no less than a block away from Motel Lani is a dynamite Chinese restaurant that Carol and I had the pleasure enjoying their fabulous chinese cuisine. Motel Lani is conveniently located close to the US Post Office, grocery store, about 1 1/2 miles from the Nawiliwili Beach where Duke's is located and two miles from the Lihue Mall Shopping Center where Costco is located.
