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.
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!

Best option for the best value when I needed a room for a nights sleep
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
We stayed here when we came for a concert and we had a great experience. The man at the front desk was very kind and helpful. Also, the room was really nice.
Room 202 1.card never worked proper front lock assembly was duct taped apparently to secure it to the front door, the card key never worked properly to get the green light to open the front door, there was a towel under the a/c unit apparently to cach leaks from comdensation, all doors had chips and the complimentary bar of soap was displayed unwrapped. The linen, toilet, and tub looked clean enough to use. When reported to the manager about the card key issue he says call him and he'll give me access to the room. I don't see how you can sustain a business that way.
