Royal Motel

What guests think

Royal Motel is a classic, no-frills roadside stay with a retro vibe, where many guests find clean, simple rooms and friendly, hands-on owners, though the property and décor are clearly older and not recently updated.

Travelers like the easy highway access and drive-up parking. Common drawbacks include dated fixtures, occasional maintenance or comfort issues (weak showers, heat or AC problems, sporadic Wi-Fi), and some reports of odors or worn carpets. Despite some listings, breakfast is not provided, though staff often offer tips for nearby dining. Expect a straightforward overnight stop.

Great vintage-type property that was well maintained, clean and operated by great owners! This place is a hidden gem among the area competition. If you are looking for pool/spa and fancy lobby that you will never use then stay somewhere else. This place is perfect for traveler that spends more time exploring local area than watching cable TV in bed while eating over-priced room service. Will definitely stay here again!!!

This is an older 17 unit motel that has been nicely updated. The bathroom had new wall tiles and flooring. Nice big showerhead and new taller super flush toilet. I loved that they kept the retro pink sink and tub! King size bed and wall tv...we watched the Olympics last night. It was immaculate. The rate was a bargain. I always like to stay in these smaller motels, not a fan of the big chain ones. And it's all on the ground floor and you park in front of the unit. The night before we were at a chain and the elevator was not working and we had to haul our suitcases up to the second floor. We are retired and way too old to be doing that! The Royal Motel was perfect for us.

1960 motel run by family which is better than it looks. The beds were very good, the temperature control was good; the bathroom was tiny but clean, the towels almost threadbare; poor parking lot and entrance condition, somewhat poor sound insulation. The owner is outstanding in service.

I stayed here for one night last fall when I was passing through which wasn't to bad and decided to stay again in a different room. Unfortunately for the rate, the quality of this particular room and the property in general is starting to look rather detiorated, lacks a good deep cleaning, and trashy and is definitely in need of some serious updating throughout.

We arrived at the property around 9:30 pm and found a very dirty room. We ended up keaving the next day due to the unclean room. There was mold in the bathroom, the bathroom door looked like it had never been cleaned, lamp shades were dirty and torn, the ceiling was dirty and looked like they drilled a bunch of holes in the tiles, there was some sort of liquid stain on the cedar walls, and worst of all the sheets weren't clean. I tried to get a partial refund since we were supposed to stay two night but only stayed one. The owner refused. If you have kids stay away from this motel.

2 beds on the reservation site means a bed and a couch. Had to upgrade to get 2 real beds. Desk person did it for free. Beds were terrible. My brother said it was the worst bed he had ever slept on. The toilet seat and cover were held on by1 bolt. Room was not ready when we arrived at 340p. Desk person said it would b a few minutes. It was 2 hours! I really don’t know how this place got a 4.3 rating.
