Loved this little nostalgic motel. From the moment we got there Lisa (the manager) made us feel like family. My husband and I have traveled across the US multiple times, and this is probably the cleanest motel, I’ve ever been to, inside and out. Beds were clean and cozy topped with beautiful quilts. Convenient to town and restaurants.
If we are anywhere in this area again we will go out of our way to stay there again!

We really enjoyed our most recent stay at Motel Tipton. Our rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The electric fireplace was a nice feature that offered instant heat when coming in from the cold. The new shower insert was a nice upgrade since our last visit. We won't hesitate to book rooms the next time we visit. We highly recommend Motel Tipton.
Thank you for the great experience.

On March 1, 2022 the motel was purchased by Shelley and Blake via their business TipInn, LLC are the 100% Owners. They hail from Okotoks, Alberta, Canada. What brought them to Tipton? In the fall of 2021, they visited Blake’s Daughter and her new husband who reside in Tipton. Together, they found out about the vacant motel was for sale. One thing lead to another and an offer to purchase was submitted… knowing that massive amounts of work had to be done to update the motel to today’s standards. Extensive renovations were completed and Motel Tipton was transformed into a “place of comfort and pride”.
