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. ##### Renelda Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wesley Oct 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was clean and confortable. ##### Wesley Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chalei Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Easy parking & very quiet.. really basic but great for just relaxing and getting some rest ##### Chalei Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay Sep 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Basic motel no frillls Clean room. Basic amenities. A motel best describes the room. Great restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Air conditioning was very loud. Close to Airport so you can hear planes taking off. Check-in is all by email which was simple. Good for one night stays ##### Lindsay Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Russ Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We really liked the central location to the town and airport. Easy access to the restaurant for breakfast. The internet was a little slow but so was data access on Tmobile. Often switching to LTE. So it is what it is. Area was older, hotel buildings also, but honestly that is what we were expecting. It is Kauai after all. The price was one of the better ones out there when not looking to go to a resort or pay resort prices. We would go back not expecting it to change much. That being the appeal for us. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cfaf4fae-fa60-4e30-928a-f7c40092d85e-1761594860310.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ceb8e4ce-835f-40c2-9a81-1063b854f2c2-1761594858625.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7348b3fc-1b4e-42b0-9bcf-812bbafce98f-1761594858914.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0f21e4f0-1168-4d44-8e29-f64742d45276-1761594861658.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Russ Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Blaine May 10, 2025 Very clean for a MOTEL ##### Blaine Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant stay in Tip Top Motel Very pleasant stay in Lihue.

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 Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rhonda Sep 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is a very nice motel and the staff ate all very friendly and accommodating. ##### Rhonda Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Archana Feb 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreas Sep 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All staff very friendly, convenient to have a restaurant at site, centrally located, free Wi-Fi, all clean all we needed. ##### Andreas Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Just spent one night - it was clean, comfortable & quiet.
