My boyfriend and I stayed in the upstairs Hibiscus suite for two nights. The Inn Waimea is a charming converted house with lots of history. I enjoyed the sounds of roosters waking us up in the morning and drinking a beer on the cozy front porch.
I definitely recommend the upstairs unit because I felt like I unintentionally made a lot of noise walking around which might bother the guests below. The room was super spacious with separate areas for the bedroom and a living room. Amenities included soap/shampoo, coffee maker/Kauai Coffee Co packets, mini fridge, TV, beach towels and parking.
I enjoyed staying in the town of Waimea so much! Firstly, It is only 30 or less minutes from Waimea Canyon in one direction and Poipu in the other. The town is small so everything is within walking distance. I highly recommend going to Ishihara Market for your poke and spam musubi needs and Salt Pond Park (not in Waimea but super close by) for swimming/sunsets.
Finding the check-in office was kind of confusing, but I received a call immediately after I messaged them on AirBnB about getting lost.
Only negative is that I found two cockroaches near the mini fridge. Hopefully that gets dealt with soon.
