For us, a great location. Parking was outstanding. Staff at checking in was excellent. We didn’t use the cleaning staff for our 3 day stay. The room was very serviceable a comfortable. The HVAC wall unit was a bit noisy. Some of the detail work could be improved throughout, but in general, this was a good value for us, and we’d likely stay there again.

The place is actually fine but the smell of the cleaning products was so disgusting that I slept in a mask. Whatever they use to clean was streaking the counters and felt like I had shoved gross dryer sheets up my nose. My clothes still smell like it. I almost left in the middle of the night and tried to keep brewing coffee in hopes that anything would make it smell different.

Loved everything about this property! They are under construction for additional renovating so that's why I didn't put 5 stars for property as the dumpster is hanging out outside. Our bedroom was updated, bathroom was older but updated fixtures, very clean and well kept. We will definitely stay here again as it's within walking distance to all the main attractions Royal Oak has to offer. Both staff members we encountered were super nice and helpful.

Loved the creativity of the motel upgrade but still some odd design choices made (especially in the rooms). Additionally there was very little updating to the bathrooms.

Used to be better and I let things go last time because service was awesome but not this time. Shower head is flimsy and water stream is weak. Only one night stand on one side. Bed is super uncomfortable.

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The staff is always extra friendly and the rooms are always soooo clean. They reverse the deposit when they say they will as well. It’s so cute at this property. I will always come here when I need a little low key spot to stay in.

Fun, funky little place that has been brought back to life by new ownership. That said, our room's thermostat didn't work and after returning from a late night out with friends, we sweltered in 80 degree heat. Otherwise, great place, would stay again.

Decent and priced right
This was our third time staying here when traveling from out of state to visit friend and family, we used to live in Royal Oak. Our OpenKey wouldn't work, so we just got a regular key card at the front desk which wasn't really a big deal. When we did get in our room, it was 80F!?! Immediately turned the heat off and the AC unit on the lowest setting and high fan speed. Had some issues getting our TV to work properly, but eventually unplugged it and plugged it back in then no issues. Overall, it's a nice place to stay close to downtown when you don't want to pay $270 a night for the Hyatt. Will stay here a fifth time when we're back in town in 2024.
