There are no plugs in the bathroom, no tissues, no free coffee, nobody to call after 3:00, no ice, no microwave, no refrigerator. It's a small brick prison cell with an air conditioner. They charged me $200 a night and then they wanted to charge for coffee and offered breakfast for 15 to $20. Never again

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!

Nice place for travelers. The communication was great. The room was comfortable. There is a breakfast/ lunch place associated with the motel but we had to leave really early to catch our flight so we didn't have a way to make coffee in the morning. Other than that, it was the perfect spot.

Very basic accommodations. The window air condition unit was very noisy. Very small room but clean. Instructions were sent for a late check-in which was very useful as my plane got delayed. It would be nice if the room had a minifridge...

Room was small, nothing fancy. It was very clean with a king size bed and a decent bathroom. It is very close to the airport which made it easy to get to for an early morning flight. It was comfortable enough and a good fit for us for the one night.

Very convenient location from the airport (taxi service). The room is plain but very clean. We’re looking forward to a wonderful Hawaiian breakfast this morning while we wait for our Turo pick up at check out. The rosters were crowing early this morning.

Floor was painted concrete and cinder block walls. Air conditioner was very loud. Cable box was not working. There is no office to report a problem after 2:00 p.m. Bed wasn't comfortable. I recommend spending a little more for something decent if you can.

Older facility, well maintained, very clean. Few frills. TV in room has no signal, no hair dryer, few outlets. Bed was comfortable, but neighborhood traffic is sometimes noisy in the evening. Cafe/bakery on ground floor is great for breakfast!

Clean and close to the airport
We just needed one night close to the airport and Tip Top Motel Cafe and Bakery fit our need. It is a very plain hotel, nothing fancy. Our room was clean and the bed was comfy. The attached cafe has great breakfast (not included) which was a bonus!

Basic
Absolutely no frills. Bed, shower, folding chair , toilet, sink, small table with WiFi, 4 plastic cups and 3 hangers. Asked for a firm bed and received it. Bedroom seemed clean. Bathroom mop boards were dotted with urine as was the wall by the toilet.

2 night stay
I booked this hotel for it's location and price for 2 nights prior to spending 7 days in Princeville. The bed was comfortable and basically clean. It is very basic but that was what I expected, just a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. We were not impressed with the restaurant for breakfast which we were told was great. I would say medioca at best.

Our flight arrived late so this was the perfect location for us as it was 1.8 miles from the airport.

Stayed only one night. Very basic place. Not much to it but was convenient. Close to my business activity and extremely clean. I have not seen this basic of a hotel this clean in my travels. Did not get a change to check out the bakery due to limited time. There are many places to eat that are a 5-10 minute drive from the Motel.
