We chose this motel for its location near the airport (1 mi) and reasonable price compared to the fancy re$orts! Its very functional except lacks a microwave or any way to heat beverages (cafe is totally closed- it’s Christmas) Theres a convenient Texaco station a few blocks away for coffee & snacks.

I picked the Tip Top because I had an early flight and wanted to be near the airport-the room was basic,mattress was not new more like camp, the TV was good,The Cafe was closed so I did not get to try it but a local said the food was very good. I could hear the airplanes,trucks,motorcycle noise which I am not used to but I made it to the airport on time whcih was the goal.

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.

Clean, reasonable price
Clean and cooled off quick with window unit. Bed closest to door- has sag spot in center. Needs flipping/rotating. Sounded like a office phone ringing every few minutes thru out night- was annoying. Fit needs and reasonable price. Liked the code entry at door- after long day of travel

My brother and I spent two different segments of our trips here at Tip Top and throughly enjoyed it. It was relatively clean, comfortable, and quiet. The communication of the staff for the self check-in was superb. The diner downstairs was fantastic. The location was very convenient to many things in the area. One of the things that brought us here too was the cost, which was very reasonable given the area. The only thing negative was in our second room there were some things that needed to be cleaned better (the walls around toilet and bathroom in general), we didn’t have a fridge like we did in our first room, and our plug and lamp by bedside was broken.

My room had keyless entry, which was good (no key card to carry around) and bad (had to have 6-digit access code readily available). The room was comfortable and suited my needs. You could hang a door sign if you needed maid service during the stay, which made it eco-friendly. The room was fairly clean, although the floor probably could've used a good scrub. The AC unit was appreciated but was awfully noisy. There is free parking (but the spaces are small) and a decent coffee shop on property. Tip Top is conveniently located in Lihue, so it is near almost everything.
