Rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable, and the food from the cafe is the reason I keep booking my stay here!

I have stayed in many hotels, motels and resorts. Plan your expectations accordingly when you look for a place to stay. Tip Top was a last minute need due to flight schedule. They are an older cinder block building near the airport which was my first requirement. 2nd they were clean. I check the cleanliness every f the bathroom which generally sets the time for overall cleanliness. 3rd access, we got in late and just needed somewhere to sleep that was quick in. They sent me the keyless entry code and I was able to check in online get in our room and leave with no fuss. Last safety, well lit and well cared for area so I felt safe arriving at 10:30 at night. Bonus is they have a great cafe for breakfast. Highly recommend, but caution you to remember it is a basic motel not a resort.

They were kind enough to let us use a tea pot and a hair dryer in our room; however, while we were staying there for four nights,no room cleaning was made. It was perhaps because they didn't want the dirt to be noticeable that they chose dark brown as the color of their sheets.
