3-Star Hotels in Oneida

The Google reviews of the Royal Inn pretty accurately capture the experience. It's a very basic motel with clean rooms and a worn out exterior. The parking lots is badly torn up and there is an abandoned ( filled in) pool. A mismatched assortment of chairs sit outside of the rooms. The rooms have been refurbished in the past few years. But the bathrooms still looks mostly original with colored tile flooring and tub. Even with the reburshiment, our room had water damage from a leak in the ceiling and a damaged bathroom door that would not stay closed. The beds and pillows were pretty comfortable. The blanket was a bit thin for chilly winter nights and an extra blanket would have been nice. There is a language barrier with the manager (owner?). He was friendly but when we had an issue it was hard to communicate and work through it. Overall, you get what you pay for and there are few options in the area. It was clean, and suitable for our brief stay. In the future, I'd probably choose to stay somewhere further from Oneida that's nicer.
