Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Bed smelled like chemicals, was able to get a room change but wasn’t a whole lot better, they did not want to refund after only one night of staying out of 7 nights booked, air conditioning did not work and room was very hot, wires to the lamp in the room were cut, rust in the bathroom on the towel racks. Was not a pleasant stay.

Poor heat, bathroom mold, street noise. What’s there to love? It was inexpensive so I’ll give them that. And the staff was friendly.

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.

Room was not cleaned well, towels need to be replaced, old dirty stained, bed was uncomfortable other guests were very loud at all hours during our stay. WiFi signal was poor and could not watch movie selection. Overly priced even for holiday weekend. Will not plan to stay here again.

Terrible stay. There were many men just around the property on their phones. There was very loud music till very late. The room was very dirty. I felt like I was going to fall through the floor in the bathroom. There was black mold on the bathroom wall. I felt very unsafe at this property!

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.
