Great location right on the ocean. Stayed in the older section above the restaurant which was fine however they have music every night from 7 to 8:30. which reverberated up through the room. The food and service at the restaurant, "The Bull Shed" was excellent. Grounds were maintained beautifully.

It was a property that could use some refurbishment. Of course it is overpriced, but everything is in Hawaii. The pool was clean and access to the property was convenient with a stoplight at the main intersection. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was a joke. The coffee maker in the room didn’t make the coffee very hot, which was disappointing. Oh well. It was a decent place to stay. Not a high end resort. A place to sleep.

The hotel has a few positives, starting with its peaceful atmosphere, great location, stunning views from the pool area, and a decent restaurant. However, that’s where the good points end. The rooms are outdated, with what’s advertised as an oceanfront view being only a partial ocean view. The staff are unwelcoming, the grab-and-go breakfast is disappointing, and the beds are extremely uncomfortable. While the rooms were clean, everything inside felt old and rusty, making it difficult to find anything positive to say about them. Overall, the hotel deserves five stars for its quiet and relaxing environment but zero stars for everything else, including the basic amenities expected from a hotel. If it were advertised as a motel, the rating might be more appropriate.

Great property.

We really enjoyed our stay at the ISO. The hotel met our needs for our 4 night stay. It is centrally situated so it was easy to explore. Clean rooms, comfortable bed and super friendly staff. Good dinner restaurant on property. Good selection of continental breakfast foods. Amazing sunrises! We would stay again if we come back to Kauai.

Average

Property was probably about as expected for the price. Pros: - Right on the beach - Continental breakfast - Bikes are available for free Cons: - We booked for two people, and they gave us two double beds instead of a queen or king. That didn't make sense to me. The default should be one bed. There were no options to choose beds when I booked. I don't know if that was an ISO problem or a hotels.com problem. - Property inside and out is very old and dated. It does not look like the picture. Rooms smell very musty. - Television was basically broken

It’s a small little hotel right on the beach. The views of the ocean are amazing. They have free continental breakfast and the pool is nice. Would be prefect if they had a hot tub. There is a restaurant onsite that opens for dinner. Food was good. There’s plenty of shopping nearby. Safeway is across the street and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance. The beach is literally next to the hotel and the pool area is very pretty and well maintained. Nice lush greenery with nice palm trees. Can’t get over that view. Definitely a great choice when staying in Kauai. It’s also relatively close to the airport.

good location, needs a refresh

Grab & go breakfast was convenient and the location was good - near grocery store and restaurants with an ocean view. Our room, however, was quite run down and even though I reserved a king bed, we were given two doubles with no other options available. Isn't that what a reservation is for?

II had a great stay! I didn't realize that my room was above the restaurant that features a band, which I think is amazing. I really enjoyed the music. Additionally, Stacey at the front desk was very kind and helped me print something without hesitation.

Great place to stay in Kauai

Our stay at ISO exceeded our expectations! We had a great room with a balcony facing the ocean. The room was clean and comfortable came with a bar fridge and coffee maker. They also provided complimentary continental breakfast, bikes are also available FREE of charge. While we were there they only had 4 bikes available so you had to get there at the right time. The day we left though they just got a bunch of new bikes. Wonderful restaurant on site, great pool and even a gas fireplace that is lit nightly. What a nice touch is that they even give each guest a reusable water bottle and they have free water cooler and ice machine to refill. Highly recommend this hotel!!!! We were even lucky to have a monk seal hang out on our beach for 3 days!!!!! Absolutely Love Kauai 💕💕💕
