    Hotel would be vastly improved if privacy of guests was respected. Markers in luggage and around medications indicated that staff tampering took place. Roaches were documented throughout the bathroom and sleeping area. Reservations at this hotel will only be made as a last resort if ever again.

    Bed was small for 2 people. No closet to hang anything up. Only one pillow. But I guess for 80.00 a night you’re not going to get a Marriott accommodations. For one night it was do able though. Close to the airport, which is what I was looking for.

    The guy wouldn’t not let me check into my room after flying back into the country with out seeing my ID when I had my confirmation number slapped up on the front desk glass while this guy was on the phone talking to someone else instead of helping me. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone to stay at all and honestly hotels.com should be embarrassed to be afflicted with this chain.

    Reasonably cheap and fairly clean. I booked a non-smoking room. When we arrived there was only smoking rooms available (no apology or explanation given by the surly staff). I asked to check the room to see if I could stay there. When I returned they had ‘found’ and non-smoking room. I took this but it turned out to be a smoking room. They tried to trick me, I left today with my clothes smelling of smoke.

    The hotel was infested with roaches. I woke up with them crawling on me and in my bed. I requested another room and that room had roaches as well. I did not have the luxury of booking a room at another hotel, given the lateness of the hour. I was in town for a funeral, so this added to my grief by not allowing me to get a comfortable night of sleep in preparation for a long and stressful Saturday.

And had a used bar of soap in the shower also covered in hair. Went back to the front to get a refund and check out and told me that after being in the room for 15 mins I was unable to receive my refund.

    So I went and booked a reservation and when I called for the shuttle to pick me up the exact same lady said to me “What shuttle, You have the wrong hotel” she then said you have the wrong hotel again after I asked again in disbelief. I spent extra for this hotel BECAUSE they claimed to have it. So I had to spend 60 dollars in Uber on top of the already high price they were charging. Avoid this place like the plague as they are liars and promise something they don't have.

    I did appreciate that the rooms inside were much cleaner than you would have thought from looking at the outside. The location was convenient; very close to downtown. I would say "eh" about how the property was trying to charge me more for staying an extra night than what I paid on Expedia, without so much as offering to match the price, so I had to go back through Expedia to book another night, but I guess that's just part of the Expedia perks.

    I has reserved two rooms with double beds and did not get this. Im out of state and reserved these rooms for my family. I also had called and asked if they could do a late check out. The front desk said yes but to have a family member let them know in the morning. My family was not able to stay the extra hour due to not having the receipt. This hotel lacks appropriate hospitality, communication, and service.

    It's a basic motel but you will save money and have some sleep. Additionally, the gentleman at the reception helped me to change some 10 dollar bills into ones so I was able to purchase water in their machine which by the way charges only 1 dollar for water bottle which is way way less than what other hotels charge to water. And again the attention from the gentleman at the front was way way better and more professional than in many other supposedly "high end" hotels I've been in.

    I didn't like anything about Royal Inn. The area was dark, dirty, animal (big cat) walking around the balcony. Peoples were cooking with a grill on the second floor balcony. The place looks more like a run down housing unit than a hotel. I had to find another hotel just to feel safe. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. The guy at the desk said that i had to call you'll for a refund.

    We had three people and they only left shampoo for 1 person. The person who checked me in was not friendly. I could not hear him through the glass, so he held up a sign that read, "personal identification". He stayed at the computer for what seemed like 10 ,minutes trying to find my room. Finally he gave me my keys, but I had to ask him where the room was. When I checked out the next day I asked for a receipt. That gentleman was surprised that the first man didn't give me one.

    Spent one night there because of a delayed flight. Don't go near this place! It's dirty. No elevator. Staff is inhospitable. Toilet would not flush. I was terrified to get in the shower. Couldn't wait to get out of the place as fast as possible. Spend the extra money and go to a real hotel.
