It’s a no-frills motel that serves its purpose. Cannot recommend their cafe enough!

Great stay at TipTop
We had a great stay - everything is as described. The room was clean and beds were comfy. The room is small but we didn't need anything but a place to sleep - it was perfect.
Stella, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The best thing is it’s very close to the airport if you’re getting into Kauai late. Very minimal space, supplies. (Not even a hand towel… only two towels and wash cloths) No coffee pot . Smoke alarm was laying on a shelf. When I reported it because I thought they’d want to know, the response was “yeah we took it down” WHAT!!! Would not stay there again.
Pamela, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

A “last Resort” Resort.
Rooms were clean but beds were horrendous. So uncomfortable! Very sparse rooms with no features or accommodations beyond the terrible beds. Restaurant was okay with excellent service, too bad the motel isn’t at the same level. For the price, there should be a coffee pot, a microwave (forced us to use the restaurant). We had to walk to 7-11 to get coffee in the morning. Bring a surge protector or muti plug adapter as there aren’t extra outlets for your devices. Motel 6 or Super 8 has this place beat!

This a very nice motel for the price. Very close to the airport. Adequate amount of parking.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for when you are in a budget but didn’t compromise convenience and the quality of stay. It’s a plus to have a restaurant just down below your building.

I picked the Tip Top because I had an early flight and wanted to be near the airport-the room was basic,mattress was not new more like camp, the TV was good,The Cafe was closed so I did not get to try it but a local said the food was very good. I could hear the airplanes,trucks,motorcycle noise which I am not used to but I made it to the airport on time whcih was the goal.
