Excellent for a roadside motel

It’s a roadside motel. Extremely cheap. For the price- it was excellent. Beds comfortable enough. Not enough towels. No toiletries besides soap. NO COFFEE MAKER. That was strange. BUT the room was big and had fridge and microwave. Overall very happy.

Clean and Comfortable

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Refrigerator and microwave were available as well as a TV and wifi. There were a few drawers for clothing and some hangers for jackets or shirts.This specific room had a table and 2 chairs, no desk. We stayed for 2 nights and while it's nothing fancy, it was fine for what we needed and the location right outside Shenandoah Nat'l Park is perfect. Lots of food and shopping either a 10 minute walk or short drive away. Be aware you might want to bring your own toiletries and kleenex. They provide a new bar of soap and a plastic packet of shampoo, but that's not enough if you have long hair. Check-in and check-out were super easy, the people were very nice and gave us any extra towels etc. we needed.

It was clean and spacious. No ice machine, and the shower pressure was pretty weak due to water still falling out of the faucet. There was one flimsy lock on the door, and no lighting out on the corridor nor on the stairs! The lack of lighting on the stairs was very unnerving, since i packed up to leave before sunrise.

I would not recommend the Royal Inn Motel

Was not in the best of areas. Language barrier at the time of check in. I could not understand what all the host was saying and the payment method was outdated. There were broke down vehicles in the parking lot but the positive was that I parked right in front of my room door. No amenities except a small bar of soap and small packages of shampoo and conditioner. For $62.00 it was over an priced stay.

It was a great place for us to stay.

Right place where we need to stay, on our trip to Rolling Thunder. The hotel was nice, clean does need some updating/ upgrades but overall it was ok for the 2 night stay. Owner was really nice to us treated real good. I pick this place cause we really didn’t want to stay in DC cause of the Traffic in the city, we was only 45 minutes from there it was just right, we be there again next year.

Think twice about staying here.

The front desk person was polite but that is about the best I can say about our stay there!. The room was dirty, burn holes in the comforter on one of the beds. Both beds had no fitted sheet, at least that is what we originally thought but there was a fitted sheet rolled up at the bottom of the bed we slept in. We will NEVER stay there again.

Everthing you need for a comfortable stay

This is my go-to place for hiking around Shenandoah National Park or any of the neighboring trails. Walking distance from the Dicky Ridge trail, right off 340 and Blue Ridge Parkway, walking distance or a short drive to food and some awesome shops. The king size bed was super comfy, you can adjust the room temperature to anything you want, and the fridge and microwave allow you to supply your own food if you want (I have food allergies). Check-in was a breeze, the manager was helpful in supplying any information I needed. The room and bathroom were clean. This is a fairly basic setup with drawers and hangers for clothing if you want to unpack, a desk, nightstands and the necessary amenities including working wifi and TV. Multiple smaller wall lamps allow for one person to rest while another is reading or working. It is also one of the best prices around. I've been there multiple times and will be staying there again on my next trip.

I looked for an ice machine; they don't have one. There is a small refrigerator in the room, with the top freezer space (not effective). No bucket for ice. No tissues. Shower curtain had mold/something on it (they replaced it on request). One bath towel was tattered with a hole or 2 (they replaced it on request). 2 hand towels (gray; towels were white), we wondered if they were clean or not. Bed linens were strange. The queen bed and the pillows were nice. New carpet.
