10/10 Exceptional

I loved the convenience of staying in Lihue! I also appreciate the simplicity of the room. A great bargain indeed. Very happy to have stayed there! Will return!
Jayson, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent value for money. Not a resort experience, but for the price it is worth it. If you are looking to spend most of your time outdoors as you should in Kauai, and just need a place to rest at night and good breakfast to start the day, this is your place. No frills that you pay for and don't use

Great for one night after arriving on a late flight from the mainland. Easy key code access and a great place for breakfast the next morning (closed on Mondays). Very basic but perfect for our needs.

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

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.

Simple accommodations for just needing somewhere to stay the night after a long day out. Easy check in and check out. Would book again. Thanks Tip Top!
