We stayed for a week at Motel Lili room 6. It is nice small corner unit in Lihue with many amenities although the bathroom is very tight. There’s not much room for big luggages either but it makes up with the well equipped kitchen that has everything you’d need. Lihue is in between Poipu and Princeville so if you have a car it’s not too far each direction. Need a car to stay here though because it’s not walkable to anything. Close by is the cruise port and our favorite restaurant Cafe Portofino. We enjoyed looking at the numerous wild chickens and peacocks around the property but if you need to sleep late then Kauai is not your island :)
