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.

I absolutely loved this cute little motel and restaurant. It was a lovely stay with everything I want in a hotel: reliable WiFi, great TV (including TCM), a comfortable bed, and a lovely shower and bathroom. I highly recommend this place. The bakery and restaurant were delicious and convenient too!

LOVE the Tip Top Motel

The Tip Top Motel was one of the highlights of our Kauai visit. The bed was very comfortable, the room was simple and just what we needed. The food in the café downstairs was perfection. Try the banana pancakes. The coffee was outstanding, the service was quick. Only a mile from the airport. Will definitely stay again.

This motel is an excellent value (considering Hawaii prices). The room was comfortable with a nice TV and cable package in a great location, a block from Hilo Hattie's with several restaurants, cafes, and fast-food places nearby. Just a mile from the airport. I actually walked back to the airport the next day to rent a car.

Our plane landed after 10 pm and hotel was close to airport so we started our week at a timeshare on Sunday rather than Sunday. We would stay here again. We enjoy our timeshare with its view of the ocean more but our stay there cost a lot more. Staff was wonderful.
