Tip Top is conveniently located near the airport and downtown Lihu’e. It has a nice local style restaurant on property that serves breakfast and lunch with other restaurants nearby. The accommodations are modest, but provide most everything you would need to make your stay comfortable. And as long as you are able to follow instructions, check in and check out are a breeze.

Pretty basic room. But what you'd expect for the price. Cafe downstairs was excellent. Needs a fridge

Room was ready, neat, clean. simple but with the basic necessities. Room was secure and TV was good. Shower was clean, water hot and towels soft. It would have been nice if the room had a coffee maker, but the tip Top Cafe was right downstairs a few feet away, so no real problem. A good economy hotel.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Basic is too kind a word. Virtually bare room with a bed, a single bedside table, a small fridge sitting in the open, a small 2' round coffee table to small and low to be useful. No chairs, no drawers, an open wardrobe alcove. No coffee making, microwave or anything. No appliances except the fridge.Aircon struggled to cool but was so noisy we didn't like using it. Bathroom was just ok and at least the toilet flushed and the water was warm.. Located in an industrial area so noise and vehicles and people through whole day which started from 5am. No room service (for Covid safety!!!!) Was seriously the worst motel ever encountered and are so glad we escaped

Stayed overnight in Lihue, on way to northern coast of Kauai, as arriving late. Took Kauai Bus from Baggage Claim curbside at airport, 12 minute ride on bus 200 to Eiwa Street … walked two blocks to Tip Top. Lodging clean, efficient with great breakfast (not included) at their cafe in AM (opens 7:00). Air conditioned room, quiet enough for a good sleep on Tuesday night.

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.

I actually really liked staying here until the construction crew woke up at 0530 and started BLASTING music and smoking weed. Another lovely human than began pacing in the hall clearing his throat and SPITTING on the ground. If I were hotel management I wouldn’t be letting this crew back. Aside from that the bed was comfortable after a long flight and the down stairs restaurant was great.

The Tip Top Motel is very close to Lihue airport and easy to find. They have ample parking because the Cafe is a popular breakfast and lunch spot. I had a late check-in so I did not actually interact with any staff until I checked out. The room is what you would expect of a motel. It's a bit large compared to other hotel rooms I've stayed in but the furniture is not new nor matching. As long as it was clean, I was ok with it. There was a mini fridge in the room but it was unplugged. The outlet had the tv plugged in and everything and I didn't feel comfortable plugging in the fridge as well so I left it. I was on the 2nd floor, right above the restaurant and it was pretty quite. I rented a car but the motel is close enough to restaurants and other main streets that have shops and stuff so it's pretty convenient. I really liked staying in Lihue because you could go north or south easily and you're not stuck driving all day long. Compared to other parts of Kauai, Lihue and the surrounding towns felt the most "city" and you can find lots of shopping/ dining or whatever comforts you need. I was able to eat at the Cafe after I've checked out and had the Loco Moco. It was pretty good! The gravy was not as heavy compared to other places and the burger patty was juicy. The restaurant space is large but they've sectioned the seating area. I would stay here again because the location was convenient but a family looking for other amenities should probably look elsewhere.
