This is a basic accommodation for a budget traveler. It was clean and fine for us. The fact that the cafe was a local favorite increased the rating. Its proximity to the airport and primary roadways also was a plus.

Basic motel no frillls

Clean room. Basic amenities. A motel best describes the room. Great restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Air conditioning was very loud. Close to Airport so you can hear planes taking off. Check-in is all by email which was simple. Good for one night stays

We really liked the central location to the town and airport. Easy access to the restaurant for breakfast. The internet was a little slow but so was data access on Tmobile. Often switching to LTE. So it is what it is. Area was older, hotel buildings also, but honestly that is what we were expecting. It is Kauai after all. The price was one of the better ones out there when not looking to go to a resort or pay resort prices. We would go back not expecting it to change much. That being the appeal for us.

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.

The hotel is awesome and clean and the check in process was so smooth with an agent checking with me to make sure I had the room number and entry code. The neighborhood seems a little sketchy with scary looking people in the parking lot but I can’t blame that on the motel! And the price of the room was very good. Overall super stoked with the motel room!

The stay was good and the room was good and clean and was well maintained. The only concern was the price paid almost $200 per night for a motel room (the room and bathroom size is small).

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.
