Interesting Breakfast options
Met some local friends here for breakfast on our first morning on Kauai. They recommended trying the ox tail soup. Husband had the soup which he described as ok but rather tasteless. I had an omelet. Came with option of (rice of course), toast OR potatoes. Not a hearty breakfast by any stretch of the imagination.
A clean bed for an overnight
We had to be out of our hotel at 11 a.m and our flight left at 11:30, too long a day too just hang around. The Tip Top is truly a cinder block motel, nothing fancy, not a lot to do around there, but it was immacuately clean and the staff was very accomodating. There is no safe, no phone, but we had two single beds and a big shower, which is all we needed for our lay over. Walmart is withing walking distance and it's 1 mile from the airport (we got ripped of for the taxi fare unfortunately). The restaurant attached to the motel is excellent and popular with locals for breakfast and supper. I wouldn't spend my entire holiday at the Tip Top but for what we needed it was pefect, a little expensive but it was Christmas after all.
Hidden Jewel
If you want a local experience for a good price this is a great choice. We wanted a nice local restaurant with good food and good service and this filled the bill. I had the Portuguese sausage omelette and it was quite tasty. Overall a wonderful experience. It is connected to the hotel.
You get what you pay for
I have to admit I was looking for somewhere inexpensive to stay. The bed was hard as well as the pillows. They have AC, but it's a noisy window unit. Even that don't help cover the noise from neighbors and garbage trucks though. The nicest thing about the room was the shower tile. I paid less for a vacation rental on the big island that was much nicer. I wouldn't stay here again.
Rooms fine cheap. Staff unhelpful.
Rooms fine. Price great. Staff in desk unfriendly and kinda unhelpful. Still fine. Wouldn't let me use wifi (give me code) until I checked into my already payed for room! Silly and unnecessary way to be unhelpful to a customer. Don't ring them to make a booking they will just moan at you and tell you you can't do it on phone.
