Categories

Cleanliness
8
Many guests repeatedly described the property and rooms as clean, but several reviews reported notable lapses (hair on towels, dog hair in bathtub, sticky residue), so overall cleanliness is good but with occasional serious failures.
Service
9
Staff were most often described as friendly and accommodating (late check-in, helpful front desk), though there are isolated reports of slow check-in, unfriendly behavior, and one serious alleged eviction incident that lowered confidence for some guests.
Location
9
Location is frequently praised as convenient and close to restaurants, gas stations, local attractions and a brewery; many guests cited this as a positive factor.
Room Quality
7.4
Rooms are described as basic and generally clean with useful items (mini-fridge, dispensers), but multiple guests reported issues: noisy/creaky beds, incorrect bed sizes, old/unsafe doors, loose shower/tub fixtures, missing remotes and rough parking.
Amenities
9
Amenities like the gym were praised and in-room dispensers/mini-fridges noted as useful. Some minor problems reported (broken body wash dispenser, no elevator), but overall amenities add value.
Value for Money
9.2
Value is a clear strength—multiple guests noted low room price (under $100 with tax), good basic accommodations for the cost, and willingness to stay again for the price.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Food and beverage received mixed-to-negative feedback: several guests called the breakfast horrible or disliked specific items (eggs), and there were complaints about sick people in the breakfast area; a smaller number of guests found the breakfast excellent.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall experience aligns with the target rating: many guests found the hotel clean, affordable and well-located and would return, but periodic cleanliness problems and isolated service incidents temper enthusiasm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Inn and would happily return to stay again.
Pros:

It was really easy to find and get in and out of. We found the rooms very easy to find and breakfast was fantastic.

Cons:

The only issue we had was the shower would run even when using the bath tub.

Great stay, comfort, quiet & affordable!
Pros:

New owners whom we met on check in. They have done a fantastic job on renovating the interior of the hotel. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Full breakfast & coffee offerings each morning. Don’t be fooled by 1st glance of the exterior of this property (which they are still updating). Also this is a pet friendly hotel & not once did I hear pets nor did I notice the odor of pets. Always skeptical about pet friendly hotels but these folks are definitely going above and beyond for their guests’ comfort. Thank you!

Cons:

We were pleasantly surprised by our first encounter & impressed with the owners & staff. We will be staying again.

Overall, if you're just wanting to sleep, it was a pleasant stay. It wasn't anything fancy compared to other hot
Pros:

It was clean and that's always a plus.

Cons:

The tv wasn't smart/newer so I wasn't able to watch any Netflix or prime and the picture was old and not the best quality. Not a deal breaker, but that's always a plus.

I wasn't a huge fan of the AC, it was very loud in an annoying way.
