What is the difference between a 4-star and 3-star hotel in Kauai?
The big difference between a 3- and 4-star hotel in Kauai will be the quality of service and availability of creature comforts. Three-star hotels are generally more economical and come with the amenities and services you need to be comfortable, such as WiFi, breakfast and a gym. You can count on a little bit more at a 4-star hotel — think upscale interiors, premium toiletries and perks like on-site spas.
What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Kauai?
A motel is an excellent choice if you're planning to travel around Kauai. These escapes are typically located close to highways and airports, offer ample parking and have basic amenities and services. Check in to a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located. With a larger choice of rooms and more amenities like a fitness center, lobby and free WiFi, you can expect to pay more for hotel lodgings.
