Very clean, affordable stay
Pros:

Extremely clean (truly impressed - outside looks unassuming) and affordable lodging option, in all of Kauai.

Cons:

The area is a bit barren. There are food options but it feels a bit “at the end of the road”. Some homeless folk are around. This is all completely manageable. You’ll be in the park most of the time.

We loved our stay at West Inn. Great value for money.
Pros:

This property was clean and had everything you need.

Cons:

Only downside was the roosters crowing but that’s part of the charm of Kauai.
