    Before my stay,I read the reviews of the property and staff,I was very leary but I couldn't beat the price. According to the reviews, they had bugs and staff was rude. I had no problems with the staff, they were very helpful and pleasant! I saw one bug, but I think it hitched a ride on my jeans from outside. They had a bug trap behind the toilet and it was empty. I will book another stay at the motel next time I go to the Springdale area! According to the signs on the doors, I had one of two no smoking rooms. I can't remember if I reserved a non smoking room or not, so I can't complain too much. As far as I know the whole motel is non smoking. Normally, going outside to smoke isn't a big problem but it was monsoon season while I was there.

    Have stayed at Royal Inn several times while in Springdale area for baseball tournaments. It is always clean and staff friendly. There is small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker in room. Also washer and dryer on site. Close to highway which is great for access but not much for sleeping. We found just running a/c or heater would block highway noise.

    Do not stay here! Expedia shouldn't list this property on it's site. The front desk doesn't answer the phone. The room had roaches. The bedding had cigarette burns on both beds. It is located behind a liquor store. I stayed here because everything else was booked.

    It was was nice to see that our hotel room had recently been updated. We had all we needed (Microwave, fridge, coffee machine, hair dryer, iron, TV ...). With the air conditioner on in the room we didn't hear much of the road noise. Check in was a little awkward talking through the glass from the outside, sometimes having trouble to hear the staff person on the inside.

    TV, AC, mini fridge, microwave (older). Clean bathroom area (nothing fancy). Check-in from outside thru secure window like in a bank. Single story, no fancy exterior. Price was inexpensive. Room was clean and comfortable.

    This was the worst inn I have ever stayed at. The sheets and pillows had red and brown stains on them, there were dead and live bugs in the room, the bed did not have a comforter (just two sheets), and I was in a room labeled "non-smoking," yet the entire room reeked of cigarettes.

    Very akward getting a room key through a window outside. Was also very difficult to contact the property before my stay. Called 5 separate times during the week and no one answered the phone and you can't leave a message.

    My son accidentally left his phone and when I called to get it, the guy stated that I stole one of his towels. I let him know that there’s no way I did that and to please let me back in the room or I was going to call the police. He said they had already cleaned the room (I was only gone 10 minutes). I started to call the cops and he let me in the room, it was not cleaned yet, and all the towels were there and he handed me my son’s phone and I left. Worst experience of my life. Their phone lines are terrible and you the intercom they talk through are hard to understand. Incredibly rude and tried to take my son’s phone and lied to me. He apologized once he realized his missing towel was hanging on the hook in the bathroom but that does not excuse him holding a phone hostage or lying about cleaning the room. Completely unacceptable.

    I arrived at 3:15pm to check in (check-in begins at 3pm) and the room wasn't ready yet. That was a bit inconvenient. It's also incredibly difficult to hear the manager speak through the drive-up window. The room was clean when I arrived and worked just fine for a couple nights' stay. The manager was helpful and friendly. There was a cabinet in the room covered in brown paper and packing tape, which was a bit off-putting. The air conditioning was also a bit difficult to get to a comfortable temperature. My first night was freezing cold. I got the hang of it by the second night, but still had to bundle up. Weird brown spots on the tub, but they're probably due to the property being older. Location is convenient, but not amazing. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay and the price!

    It’s OK. An inexpensive motel setting, so it is what it is. I needed one night and was by myself. I probably wouldn’t book it if I had wife or family with me. There is no lobby, you check in through a security window. The room smelled a hint like like stale smoke. I opened the window and door to outside which helped. The lip of the bathtub had brown spots that wouldnt come off, so I just didn’t touch them.

    Checking in was difficult, had to do it thru a window and i could hear what the guy was saying. The bed wasnt very comfortable and the room had an odor to it. Plus, there wasnt much parking on the backside of the hotel for people who had rooms on that side

    It was the lowest price in the area, but still overpriced for what you get. The man at the desk had such a heavy accent it was hard to understand him - and it was after 9pm so I had to stand outside at the night window and the traffic from the freeway was noisy. I could still hear some traffic noise in the room. The room was clean but strange that a non-smoking room would have so many cigarette burns. Also there was nowhere to hang clothes.

    I spent 2 nights in a smoking king room..I don't smoke but it was the cheapest room available. It didn't smell too awful like cigarettes which was nice. The room was tidy and I didn't see any bugs or anything out of the ordinary. It was quiet and I wasn't bothered. Housekeeping was friendly and the host was straight forward and friendly as well. It's right by the bypass so the highway noise is obvious but not awful. Convenient to stores and shopping so that's a plus. It's back away from the main road and not busy. Basic amenities. I would stay there again. Just your average hotel room. Not fancy or updated, but comfortable.

    BAD:It was a non-smoking room with cigarette burns on the tub, ther was no diverter on the tub faucet, so a shower was not an option. I had to take a sponge bath in the sink. Who takes a tub bath in a motel?! Cardboard was used to cover a hole in a cabinet on the wall. The manager spoke broken English and was rude. The instructions for the AC/Heat were practically illegible. I would not recommend that a family or a woman traveler stay here. All that I needed was a good bed and a shower, I didn't get the shower!
