What guests think

Reviews of Royal Inn describe a budget-friendly, quiet motel with generally clean rooms and convenient access to nearby restaurants, though the property feels dated and some rooms show wear, with firm beds and occasional maintenance and Wi-Fi issues.

Amenities are basic, with repeated mentions of no coffee maker and no ice, and some TVs or A/C controls not working. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, and check-in is often smooth, but there are occasional lapses like a wrong room key or missed housekeeping. Parking is usually easy or close to rooms, though spaces can be tight for larger vehicles. Expect a basic, budget stay with trade-offs between price and condition.

It was a very good hotel service wise, but the bed aren’t the best, they are really hard and they don’t provide any shampoo/conditioner also no ice machine or coffee maker. But other than that it was a nice stay.

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 like the parking it was right next to my door. The room was nice and clean towels could be a little bit cleaner, but I took my own then I have no problem with that.

Nice, quiet and clean little motel, with generous sized rooms. Easy parking. Roses outside our window. Convenient location, easy to find, and friendly owners.

1)The designated parking space for our unit was used by someone else on the first night. Fortunately we were able to park still close to our unit. 2) There was never room service. Trash and used towels were never changed. Nevermind the bathroom door not working. Besides this, meh... regular motel. Found some hairs on the "clean sheets".

This property has potential but is not up to standards. Facility is old and needs major updating. We rented 3 rooms all were in similar co dition. TV's in 2 rooms did not work. There is no ice and no working vending machines the mgr did give ice he had. There is no seals on the bottom of the doors so easy access for insects, etc. The stairway to top floor is very narrow. There was nothing to hang clothes on or to place luggage we just laid ours on the floor. There was a microwave and refrigerator and hairdryer. The hotel location could demand higher rates but at this time much improvement is required. Mgr advised he has recently acquired the property had plans to make improvements.

The room was unfortunately dirty, I always look at the bedsheets and mattress to make sure there are no bedbugs. The mattress was filthy and stained, right behind was a condom wrapper, the toilet seat was broken. I complained and was given a different room with no improvement. We didn’t stay the weekend as planned, and booked a room at another motel. Since I didn’t stay, I requested a refund for the second night. There was with some hesitation that they would return the money. As of today, I don’t see it reflected on my account, but it is still the weekend so I’ll check during the week. Don’t book here, I didn’t do my due diligence and research the reviews, but I see that I am not the only person with this experience. I’m surprised the Expedia even has it listed on their sight.

This could be a very nice place. It is broken down. There was no furniture in my room on the desk. They could do a lot better with simple things, but they choose to be the low cost provider. They low cost motel slept with the lights on so come out.
