"Amazing"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I have been to the super fancy and tip top was affordable fancy simple and the night staff were great at recommending fun and affordable things to do. There is a local restaurant downstairs and the Hawaiian briwnies, well I went back for more. Tip top is the oldest hotel and the nicest and is centrally located to things to do.
