Feeling letdown

I booked this night as a mom’s night away but ended up not even staying for the full night. Everything leading up to the stay was so impressive in terms of communication, ease of check in/out, amenities listed, but the actual experience was very lacking. The carpet was damp around the AC window unit and it felt uncomfortable walking around the room without shoes on. I ended up booking another hotel after an hour or so because the mildew and smoke smell was so overwhelming. The pictures online and the amenities listed were so promising but the experience just felt like a typical motel stay but with bright colors.

There was no coffee in the room, no chair, no place to put a computer, and no grab bars in the shower even though you had to step into a bathtub. Breakfast was advertised but it was a very skimpy continental breakfast with lukewarm coffee. It was clean, colorful and staff were always polite,

Fun, funky blast from the past

Love love love this little motel. It's quirky, fun, clean, quiet. This remodel of an old-fashioned motel is everything the big chains are not--friendly and unique. From the disco balls to the pool room to the fun in-room decor, the attention to detail is superb. This is an old building, so there are a few signs of wear in a previous life. It can take a few minutes for the hot water to arrive. But if you like the feel of supporting a charming local business, then Hotel Royal Oak is for you.

Good location for my purposes; quiet but “breakfast” was not good; and n appealing muffins, donuts and bagels; only coffee and creamer was powdered- ugh not what you want to wake up and have. If advertising b’fast it should be a bit more robust - maybe add yogurt and real milk options. Also no tea, hot water.
