Hidden Gem Cafe
“I stumbled upon the Tip Top Cafe during my visit and was blown away by the breakfast! I ordered the loco moco, and it was the best I've had, with perfectly cooked over-easy eggs and juicy burger patties. Their ox tail soup also impressed me; it was delicious and generously portioned. The fast service made my experience even better, and I can't wait to go back for lunch!” view full review
Spacious Parking Availability
“The motel has ample parking space, a huge plus, especially since the cafe is so popular for breakfast and lunch. I never had trouble finding a spot during my stay, made my travels around town smoother. It's convenient knowing I can park without stress.” view full review
Clean and Comfortable Room
“The King Room I stayed in was clean and the bathroom felt recently renovated. The mini-fridge was a nice surprise, even though I left it unplugged. The size of the room was quite spacious compared to other hotel rooms I've experienced, and it provided a comfortable space for a short stay.” view full review
Excellent Bathroom Cleanliness
“I was really pleased with the condition of the bathroom during my stay. It was immaculate! The shower was well-maintained, and, made my mornings refreshing. A clean and tidy bathroom always goes a long way in making a hotel stay enjoyable.” view full review
