VERY disappointing

The reason im not giving this stsy at The Royal Inn, is due the room being somewhat clean an the reason for the somewhat is due to the TERRIBLE antiquated, rough looking, furnishings. HORRIBLE and there was only 1 usable television channel. Hoteks.com you need to be ashamed of your for advertising such facilities.

The room was falling apart, I woke up with bug bites all over my body. I never experienced anything like this Not I’m worried about the bug bites. I have pictures of the room and the bug bite on my body. The staff are using towels to cover the broken blinds.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If I could give a zero star I would. The room was disgustingly dirty. The walls were covered in hand and feet prints, the counters were covered in grime, makeup, food, and dirt. The floors were also dirty and the shower curtain was wet, dirty and moldy. The blinds were broken and a pillow case was hung over the broken slats in an attempt to cover the window. With the rating and price point this establish had I expected nothing fancy, but what I did expect was for it to be clean and not filthy. They do not take any pride in their establishment nor do they care about their customers and it shows.

Not clean and has cockroaches:( in safe area

Our house was being remodeled and I needed a place to stay for a short period of time during a busy vacation period so I ended up at Royal Inn. If you are looking for a very no frills place and don’t mind a few bugs and not very clean place then this will be perfect for you! I don’t expect much from budget friendly places but I do hope they are clean and bug free but I killed three cockroaches during my five night stay and worry what I will be bringing back to my new place. This place does have new floors, newer bathrooms and dressing areas but nothing else in the way of amenities and like I said not clean at all. Okay to stay if nothing better is available but I definitely will look elsewhere if needed in the future!

Avoid at all cost !

This is the worst hotel in the Bay Area and I would avoid it at all cost. I went to check in and I explained to the woman at the front door that I have a two year old and the facility was not acceptable for a toddler She said she would cancel the reservation and refund the money but when hotels.com called she refused to cancel and refund the money In any case, the hotel is run down and should not be listed on hotels.com
