What guests think

At Royal Inn, many guests praise recently updated, very clean rooms and reasonable value, while others report small or cramped spaces, strong musty or perfumed odors, and bare-bones amenities that feel limited compared with more full-service hotels.

Service feedback is mixed: some highlight friendly, efficient staff and smooth check-ins, but others cite slow or unhelpful responses, strict policies (extra charges for additional guests or children, no late check-ins), and refund disputes. Room experience varies, with reports of weak or inconsistent hot water and water pressure, noisy air-conditioning, and occasional pest sightings, balanced by comments about comfortable beds and generally quiet nights. Expect a simple, budget stay with trade-offs in comfort and policies.

Terrible accommodations. Short ceiling, dark interior, musty odor, no amenities. Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I would not stay here and avoid it at all costs.

Very basic lodging. NO amenities, room devoid of anything that could be stolen (lamps, coffee pot), but a clean spot in town.

All the people in the area that paid 2 to 3 times this price to stay got ripped off. If you want clean, amenities and no hassle stay here.

The manager was very polite and efficient. The beds were probably the most comfortable ones I have ever had at a motel. The water pressure was excellent. Colourful bedding and curtains, made me smile to see them. Room was very clean. Cleaner scent in room was very strong. Bathroom door didn't close all the way. Could see where repairs had been done, but was in good shape otherwise. Had to remember to set e-brake in car because the motel is on a hill.

This is a 2-Star hotel, so it was nice to find a clean room with a comfortable mattress. The room had an overwhelming perfumed smell that had to be endured. The toilet flush handle was broken. Shower head was at about the 5' level (not great for someone over 6') but the pressure was good. I did not hear any of my neighbors, so that was a plus. Overall I was pretty satisfied. Good value for the money

It has bed bugs I left and asked for a refund and he said Expedia would refund me. So I called Expedia and they said the motel has my money. So needless to say I didn't get a refund.

Unfortunately we stayed only long enough to get in and ready for bed. Several small bugs in bathroom then noticed more throughout the room. When entering the bathroom a larger bug emerged which was in fact a larger cockroach. Immediately went to office with pictures in hand. Did have to show pictures and then take them back to the room to prove our remarks. Had to call hotels.com directly after AI did not work. Did get our refund.

The property has a policy of no check-in’s after 10:30PM and no refunds. And they don’t make exceptions. I can’t help but wonder if they aren’t trying to deliberately take money from desperate travelers who fail to read the fine print on their policies. I make my booking (only place in Claremont that had a room available and they only had one) while I was about 2.5 hours away. ETA was anticipated to be about 9:45-10:00PM. But then I ran into a 45 minute delay… In speaking with the person on the phone, they were not sympathetic or understanding in any way. They just kept saying that they close at 10:30PM and that their policy was posted on the web site. So they got my $120 and I got nothing. Just as a side note, I have been traveling for work since 1990 and spend between 100-250 nights a year at hotels. This is my second review in all that time.

Before you read this there have been multiple complaints about this business for the same reason. We were about to check in and was told there was going to be an additional $100 charge for 2 additional people (2 infants waiting in the car) to stay in room. Booked a 2 bed room for 4 people. The policy is not clear at all on Orbitz and says may VARY what does this mean?? Told the employee that was a rip off and they declined to take my payment and said I would not have any charge to my card. Looking forward to seeing my bank statement and don’t waste your time with this hotel it’s a joke !
