Royal Inn Motel

Guests appreciate the motel's cleanliness and its proximity to the highway for convenience. However, no disadvantages were mentioned in the reviews.

Don't let the check-in attendant place you in Room 23. This motel should not be renting this room at the same price as others, if at all. It sits atop the check-in office, and it is the closest room to the busy roadway beside the motel. While the motel can not control traffic, the door to Room 23 has a long 1-inch wide vertical gap and another 1-inch+ opening on the bottom of the door that permits sound like an open window (and surely would be a warm welcome to rodents). Because of these massive air gaps, you will hear every vroom and pothole as if you were sleeping directly on the asphalt. In addition, a large and blinding 24/7 fluorescent light shines directly overhead Room 23, and the curtains don't block it. I woke up several times thinking it was 7am, due to artificial "daylight" breaking in. Between the loud roadway noise coming in from the "open" door and the glare of fluorescent light, get ready for an awful and sleepless night. Worse, the front desk offers no customer service, discount, or even an apology for such a problematic room. I've never experienced that in 40+ years of stays domestically and internationally. The hotel staff gives zero cares if you were inconvenienced or uncomfortable. They are very well aware that Room 23 is a problem; the check-out attendant had an auto-rehearsed claim that he couldn't control traffic *and* no other single rooms were available at check-in, but untrue. They just want to fill that one first and will lie about it. A low budget hotel stay can still be enjoyable, but the female check-in attendant's lack of integrity in renting that room and her poor professionalism (no hello, just a snatch of my license), an awful stay, and resolution-free checkout made the experience lowbrow.

Good value, seemed safe
