Great stay

Tip Top Motel was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. We would stay here again and would recommend it to others. The cafe is great as well.

Pleasant stay in Tip Top Motel

Very pleasant stay in Lihue. Clean and cozy room, excellent location in Lihue and fabulous bakery! Mahalo!
4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Kyoko, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Jaime, 1-night trip

Great bargain if your are looking for simple, no frills, basic accommodations .
Andrea, 1-night trip

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.
Stella, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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).
Archana, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient in the area but the room had termites and table wasn’t cleaned with hair and food smears on it. Termites on the bed and in the bathroom sink. Floor felt dirty and no icebox. Overall it was okay.

8/10 Very good

It was easy check in. The rooms were well maintained. The entire room was clean and they had maintained it well. Our room had AC and TV. The washroom was big and neat. The only downside was no kettle, microwave or any other appliances or plates for us to eat. The only option is motel.

Good for solo budget as who can’t afford to stay a Hotel’s or Resorts!
JOHN, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
N, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

There was a used wash rag left in the shower and room was clearly not very clean. The cafe and office were closed the whole visit.

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!
