This is a basic accommodation for a budget traveler. It was clean and fine for us. The fact that the cafe was a local favorite increased the rating. Its proximity to the airport and primary roadways also was a plus.

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.

I have stayed in many hotels, motels and resorts. Plan your expectations accordingly when you look for a place to stay. Tip Top was a last minute need due to flight schedule. They are an older cinder block building near the airport which was my first requirement. 2nd they were clean. I check the cleanliness every f the bathroom which generally sets the time for overall cleanliness. 3rd access, we got in late and just needed somewhere to sleep that was quick in. They sent me the keyless entry code and I was able to check in online get in our room and leave with no fuss. Last safety, well lit and well cared for area so I felt safe arriving at 10:30 at night. Bonus is they have a great cafe for breakfast. Highly recommend, but caution you to remember it is a basic motel not a resort.
