This motel has the best location in town. Extremely nice people work here. Their rooms are clean and they are very patient with you. Would definitely choose to stay here again
I have to say that this has been the best hotel experience I've had in a very long time. The manager Sarah is the sweetest woman I've met working at a hotel like this. She brought me coffee and cake and we sat and chatted for awhile. She's a true Christian woman and conducts herself with respect, authority, and most important, LOVE. She went above and beyond to make sure that my stay was pleasant and that I was taken care of. The maintenance man was on top of every need and even offered to help me after hours with issues I was having. The overall experience was 100 percent amazing and I am truly blessed to have found this place. Praise YHWH!
The owner and his family are so freaking nice! I will defo stay here again! Sheets were clean as was my room. Convenience store across the street was convenient lol Thanks Royal Inn!
The manager that oversees and her husband really are trying to clean it up and she has made it a better and more compfortable environment. So glad we met her
It's a cheap hotel. It's clean. Some of the wall outlets don't work, but the tv, the fridge, the microwave, and the shower do. The family that run it are friendly.
A necessity, but not an unpleasant one. Rooms were nice, bed was huge. I'd do it again.
It's a quaint inn .Rooms newly renovated ,located about 2 miles off of I 10 Live Oak exit hwy 129 south . Conveniently located near Publix and Walmart There are a variety of restaurants near by Rooms are neat and clean Owners very accommodating. Always Deb:)
Idk about all these low reviews, but this is my honest experience. A few weeks back we had a bad storm come by and it birthed 5 tornadoes across swiannee county I'm in live oak with a 200 year old oak tree sitting next to my power lines and I had the whole weatherhead ripped off my house with the power lines on the ground ripped from the weathehead. Long story short fpl had me 4 days with no power so I rented a room to stay in. As you see soon as I walked in I took the pictures , Bed is clean room didn't smell of any bad odors , flat screen with cable TV, microwave was clean and working sink amd bathroom was clean , ac works but it's a wall unit when room is vacant it's off so it took a bit to cool down but it worked great , wifi was the only issue I had once connected it said connected with no internet that was that the whole time but for 65 bucks a night can't beat that with a base all bat . I enjoyed my stay, this is better than the roach motel on 90.
