I needed a last minute place to stay and the Royal Inn came in clutch. The man who checked me in was very nice and got me in immediately. The parking was covered and safe, the step up to the room was a doozy. Clean safe property with the bare minimums of amenities. For the price, it was fine. The floor felt like they forgot to sweep it but otherwise it was fine. I felt every single spring on the bed.

Every time on a business trip I go to Watsonville I stay at this place. Not once have I seen any cockroaches or bugs. They have a microwave and a refrigerator that worked great. Housekeeping is awesome. They come every day if you want and they keep the rooms really clean I would recommend this 100% because I stay there for four weeks at a time.

Room 101 is lacking tlc. The toilet is fricken loose at the floor I told the manager he said his repair guys would be in later. and when I was using it toilet he opens the the door and I yelled stay the F out!! He came in and supposedly tightened the anchor bolts but he didn’t. The smell of wet shower floors throughout the room. Besides being on the street corner room bed was good. The rooms in the back where I stayed in before was great

The room was clean and the bathroom countertop was large, would recommend if you need a lot of space to get ready/put some makeup on. The cost of stay can't be beat for the area, I would stay here again if I was in town. Manager was also kind and helpful!

the room was a good price and reasonably comfortable, even though a bit outdated / worn out. there's some road noise from the street. what i really didn't like is finding a bunch of hairs in my bed sheets, they obviously hadn't been changed between guests. this is not acceptable, i won't be back despite the low price.

It’s the cheapest hotel in Watsonville but bed is too firm, no coffee in the room or office and no ice. The staff were nice and it’s a convenient location but just not comfortable

I enjoyed my stay at the only inconvenience was not being able to connect to the WiFi and need to go over there we page and remove where it says laundry room available. There's no available laundry room said the front desk. Other than that it was clean, safe, quiet and everything was walking distance. 👍

You get what you pay for is what my husband said to me. I had to laugh because he was right. The staff was friendly though and tentative. So that was a plus. We checked in to our room and realized that the door doesn’t have the chain lock. So we felt weird and put a chair to block the door knob. Then I went to shower and the shower head wasn’t working. But we checked in late so, we were too tired to call them about it. We figured we’re just sleeping there for 1 night. As I pulled the covers to our bed. I looked at our bed sheets and the comforter, there blood all over. The sheets were dirty too. Now that made us feel so grossed out. I called them and realized our landline didn’t have any connection to the front desk. So I had to go on the site and find their office number. Called them and told them what we found. They moved us to another room. Surprised that the new room was 10 times better than the original room. I wonder is it because we paid $77 for old room that they decided to give us a crappy room. The new room seems more pricey. Oh and the phone has numbers to the front desk and house keeping. I thought that was funny because the old room, the phone wasn’t working. Anyways we will never book there again!! I would not recommend it to anyone. Unless you want dirty sheets and comforters. I took photos as proof.
