Went there for the Gator national NHRA Race. Prices were reasonable. The help was great very easy going. Doesn't have breakfast, but plenty of places to eat within walking distance. I would stay there again if needed.
The Royal Inn is awesome the rooms are great the staff is awesome very family-friendly and I will come back again you guys are awesome
The lady at the front desk was a complete sweetheart. The beds are comfortable and clean. We also enjoyed the coffee they had for breakfast too.
A good spot! lady at the desk is kind, professional & welcoming. An older property, but well cared for and you feel it’s safe and clean. Motorcycle tour friendly
Simple, Affordable. Friendly. They seem to care. The rooms are basic and a little worn, but clean.
Great place to stay clean rooms kid-friendly and pet-friendly and the staff are very nice and respectful I would recommend this place to anybody you will not be disappointed if you stay at the Royal Inn
Was good, but no phones are in your room and no ice machine on the property.
I had a great stay here while my power was out from Hurricane Helena. The family that owns this place was amazing and went out of their way to accommodate us even though my elderly father had some issues and my leg was broken. Everything was clean, and the room was affordable. I would definitely stay here again.
What can I say negative about this place... Not much!! The manager, Kat goes out of her way to make you feel at home. Housekeeping and maintenance stay on top of everything and the location is great! Plenty of truck parking too!!
Very close to the springs, excellent customer service at check in and throughout. Old building but clean rooms with firm beds.
