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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
