Guest Reviews
- Alessia (10/5): -
- Sam (7/5): - Chambre simple qui correspond à la description, proche de l'aéroport et de différents commerces
facilité d'accès, parking de l'hôtel avec de nombreuses places Wifi très aléatoire
réception fermée tout le long de notre séjour
- DuPont (8/5): Great location to office with a one minute drive and five minute walk. - Convenience and location Walking up stairs to get to room and carrying large luggage
- Maria (10/5): - Room was clean.
Beds were comfy.
It's easy to check in.
The motel is close to bus stops and the airport. Some tour companies will pick up from the motel as well.
There's a Walmart nearby.
It's expensive for what it is but that's just the reality on Kauai.
It would be great if the rooms had microwaves.
- Ku (10/5): EXCEEDED the exception to normal rule; thank you - Everything was great and was allowed to check in early at a reasonable price. N/a
- IBL (5/5): Decepción - MUY CARO, para lo que ofrece
No me limpiaron la habitación en 5 días
Decepcionante
- Joseph (8/5): -
- Sassie (10/5): Always a great stay - Budget friendly Wish there was a microwave
- Kimo (9/5): I’m happy with the service and staff’s response to r - Convenience and location and price.. Can’t think of anything.
- Parker (5/5): Way too much for a "cheap" hitrl - Clean and comfy Way over priced
- Wiktoria (8/5): W porządku - Był porządek, bardzo wygodne łóżko. Ten sam motel oferuje również śniadania także plus za to, że jest do tego bardzo blisko. Obiekt nie zapewnił czajnika, suszarki do włosów czy żelazka. To jednak bardzo podstawowe rzeczy, które dobrze żeby były dostępne.
- DuPont (9/5): I’ve been staying at the hotel for work over the past three weeks. Overall 🙁I’m happy with the arrangements. I’m 2 mi - Convenience and location. TV didn’t work. Housekeeping was supposed to fix the problem. When I returned to the hotel, I still had no TV service.
- Evegloo (10/5): Agradable - Atención del personal excelente, muy buena comunicación y disponibilidad! Ubicación muy buena. Muy limpio y ordenado. Habitación amplia Es costoso para quien viaja solo
- DuPont (8/5): This venue meets my expectations. - Convenience and location were important criteria for me. 2 minutes from the office.
5-10’minutes to restaurants, fast food, food shopping and the airport. Free parking is a bonus. It would be nice to have a small coffee maker and small refrigerator.

- Dwight (7/5): - Convenient location; employees at Tip Top Cafe very accommodating. We had melted ice cream in our freezer from the previous tenants when we first arrived anyone no one to clean it.
Would be nice to have the room cleaned and towels changed at least every other day instead of every 3 days.
- gudrun (7/5): All and all it’s served its purpose. I especially liked the closeness of the café for breakfast.. - Affordable and close to the airport.
Best of all the motel was part of a café, where you could have a great breakfast for A good price.
Keyless entry made it easy to access. I couldn’t get the TV to work and there was no one to ask
- Joshua (7/5): Pretty good - Cheapest in town Fitted sheet didn’t fit bed and came off
- María Delfina (7/5): Good for one night close to arrival/departure from airport - The location was perfect if you arrive late at the airport and need to spend the night. There are plenty of fast food places nearby that open til late. The bed was good. It’s a nice place to stay one night. Nothing!
- Amy (10/5): - Great value for money and close proximity to airport and town.
- John (8/5): - Easy check in. No microwave, refrigerator.
- Ryan (10/5): -

- Marie (10/5): - The stay was great. It was clean, comfortable, the location was ideal and the staff was very nice. I forgot my AirPods and they kindly mailed it to New York for me. Thank you!
- MkDuhaylongsod (7/5): A night at the tip top - I liked the bed, it was very comfortable. I didn't like that I had to end my stay lol

- Linda (5/5): -
- Doug (7/5): -
- Lance (8/5): Great for first night after a late flight. - Room was clean and bed was comfortable. AC did a good job keeping the room cool. The restaurant was busy but the waitress was quick getting us our food still. I wouldn't spend my vacation here but it was perfect for the first night after a late flight.
- Randall (8/5): -
- Elżbieta (10/5): - Lokalizacja, czystosc, uprzejmosc personelu
- josephmcelvogue (9/5): - I liked getting in by a code. I had to climb stairs in the rain and the windows air conditioners were noisy throughout the hallway.
- Zakasky (10/5): -
- Dodge (5/5): -
- Claudio (9/5): - Tutto perfetto
- Cindy (6/5): It’s fine to stay at if you need somewhere for one night by the airport. But it’s not great. - It was close to the airport. The restaurant below was delicious. Could hear everything going on in the hallway and in the rooms next door. The beds were uncomfortable.
- marina (7/5): - Muy limpio y bien ubicado, pero había mucho ruido de las instalaciones u otros huéspedes Ruido
- Daphné (5/5): Un logement pratique et propre mais peu équipé et mal isolé - -Le Check-in et Check-out faciles avec place de parking à côté
-La propreté -La mauvaise isolation des murs, des gens nous ont réveillés au milieu de la nuit parce qu’ils fumaient sur le parking et parlaient fort
-La climatisation est vieille et très bruyante donc on ne l’a pas mise, fenêtres fermées pour le bruit on avait un peu chaud
-L’absence de bouilloire pour se faire un café ou thé
- Todd (8/5): -
- Dawn (9/5): Everything you need with no frills - Very convenient. Had everything I needed. The cafe was fantastic.
- Shun (5/5): -
- Dilip (5/5): Not happy with the stay! - Location was good. They didn’t clean or made beds everything day. We weren’t informed earlier. No 24/7 staff either to relay issues or needed something. The room didn’t have refrigerator or microwave or coffee pots!
- Lambert (10/5): -
- Chris (4/5): Very basic motel with a good restaurant - The downstairs cafe/restaurant is great and a real local hangout. This is a VERY basic motel. There are no amenities whatsoever in the room (coffee maker, Microwave, etc). No extra blankets either. No room cleaning / service in four days. Minimal furniture.

- phuong (10/5): -
- James (5/5): - Price Room was like a jail cell
- Deborah (1/5): Disappointing - Nothing The place was tiny. The shelves were rusty. The refrigerator was on the floor. It was noisy. Could have stayed in a nice hotel for a few dollars more.
- Veronique (8/5): Dernière étape pratique avant l’aéroport - Hôtel fonctionnel et très propre à 1 mile de l’aéroport

- Carol (8/5): -
- James (8/5): Restaurant was great .. food and cost 👍👍👍 - NA Na
- Chiara (7/5): Nelle aspettative - Struttura essenziale, piccola ma lo dice anche il nome. Un classico Motel. Personale mai visto, se non che ho chiesto l’asciugacapelli e me lo hanno fatto avere subito. Comodo avere anche diversi bar vicini per la colazione e diversi market. Di per sé le aspettative devono essere quelle di un motel, quindi piccola camera con una sedia e un tavolino e bagno minuscolo, aria condizionata un po’ sporca (per fortuna non l’abbiamo azionata). Unica nota negativa le lenzuola erano pulite e profumate ma marrone scuro, meglio averle sempre bianche.
- Joshua (10/5): -
- Zachary (10/5): -
- Ronald (7/5): - This is perfect for overnight prior to going to your resort if you get in late or before your flight on your last day of visit.
- Pál (5/5): Igazi amerikai motel élmény, 1-2 éjszakára megfelelő ennél hosszabb időszakra csak elszántaknak ajánlanánk. (mi 5 éjszak - Lokációt tekintve tökéletes, reptérről 5 perc autóval. A sziget északi oldala 1 óra 10 perc, nyugati oldala 1 óra 20 perc. Check in és check out egyszerű. Kis hűtőnk is volt a szobában amire nem számítottunk. A szomszéd szobában lévő zajok áthallatszanak, első éjszaka nem tudtunk aludni mások miatt. A motel személyzetének jeleztük, ezt követően nem volt ezzel probléma.
- navin (9/5): Comfortable - Decent Close to Airport and restaurants
- Gayle (5/5): Overall ok. - Breakfast was good. Air conditioner was little noisy. Could hear the shower of other rooms.
- Madala (7/5): Good - The room was clean and minimalist. The hotel was close to the helicopter tours start point and the airport. Would've liked more towels.
- Radosław (8/5): - Cisza. Stylowe wnętrze Brak podstawowej zastawy i czajnika
- Katherine (5/5): If needed for a one night stay-- easy access to airport - Helpful check in staff Strong scent of pine sol- noisy other people checking in late at night.
- petrcze (8/5): -
- Pratik Kumar (9/5): - Location very near to the airport
- Stephen (5/5): -
- Matic (7/5): -
- David (5/5): Decent place to stay if you're only sleeping. The restaurant was great. - Room was adequate for our need for one extra night. It was clean. The room was pretty sparse but that's all we needed for the one night we stayed. Would've rather had a room on the bottom floor bc carrying luggage up to the second floor was a little taxing for older folks. If we stay there again we will ask for a lower floor room. The AC was a little noisy. the Ac was noisy.
- Paško (10/5): -
- Dean (8/5): - Very clean, easy of use since there was no lobby to check in with since they send you an email with the room code to unlock door. the tip top bakery is a local favorite, and I think the locals know the best value to taste is where it is at!!!! great place if you like a lower budget expense. no microwave
- Nancy (3/5): The room was too hot and uncomfortable - The room was pretty clean, but would have liked a refrigerator. The air conditioner didn't work and we could not sleep well. We left early as we were so uncomfortable.
- Tudor (8/5): -
- Miki (5/5): -
- Andrew (4/5): Basic, no staff when there - Basic but reasonable for the rate No staff present
- Papassara (10/5): -
- Kacper (8/5): -
- Lambert (9/5): -
- Tina (5/5): Adequate if you need someplace to stay close to the airport. - Closeness to the airport. Needed to be vigilant with the door. We had to forcefully close the door then test it to make certain it would remain closed/locked.
- Gailer (5/5): -
- Perle (7/5): - Chambre très grande et propre, hôtel placé juste en haut d’un restaurant idéal pour les petits déjeuner. J’ai vu 2 cafards sur la table principale, je sais pas si c’était lié au climat ou non.

- Santos (7/5): Overall stay was good - Breakfast was good . Could work on waitresses being more hospitality When I ask the waitresses for something they would always answer as they are walking away and not that attentive
- Andressa (9/5): Great stay, highly recommended! - I had a great stay at Tip Top Motel.
Pros:
- Large, comfortable bed
- Hot shower
- Friendly and always helpful staff
- Breakfast on the ground floor opens early, which is a great way to eat before your tours
- We were able to check into our room a little early without any extra charges The only downside is the location. Although it's very close to the airport, it takes at least half an hour to get to major tourist attractions like Poipu, Waimea, and Tunnels Beach. Furthermore, there are few dining options nearby after 6 p.m.
