The room was falling apart, I woke up with bug bites all over my body. I never experienced anything like this Not I’m worried about the bug bites. I have pictures of the room and the bug bite on my body. The staff are using towels to cover the broken blinds.

Had to wear socks the whole time or my feet would get black walking around on their disgusting floor. For $500 I would expect a clean room. Never again will I go back.

The stay was great for the price. The room was spacious and comfy. It was “walking distance” to the Bart, along a pretty busy street.

Not clean and has cockroaches:( in safe area

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!

Great staff always helpful and willing. Very close to restaurants, groceries, gas station and within 15 mins to major attractions. So close and easy to get anywhere with a car or uber. Great value for money.

Avoid at all cost !

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
