Mike is a very pleasant! My stay here was quick only for one night. The price was affordable and I would stay here again. The breakfast was really accommodating. Royal Inn and Suites was very clean and quiet. It’s close to a gas station so if you want to grab snacks! Also I loved the fact that they have a MICROWAVE!!!

A disappointment, unfortunately
November 27 and 28 2024; left morning of 29th. Person at front desk very kind and helpful. Check-in smooth. Check-out: no itemization or total fee charges listed on receipt (have no idea why); not acceptable, if there is a billing problem. There was red mold in the shower, so we did not use it (I'm allergic to molds), and the floor had not been properly cleaned (dirt between tiles). Mirror poorly cleaned; hard to see oneself in it (as if cleaner had been sprayed on but not wiped off). Too few towels for a couple's use over two-three days. Water pressure very good and hot water plentiful. There was no grab-bar in shower nor a shower pad to prevent falls (lawsuit waiting to happen?). HVAC unit very loud. The bed sounded like a snare drum every time we sat on it or turned while in bed. The springs apparently had no support and there was a metal wrap around that must have been what caused the noise. Very few amenities: no coffee maker in room; a few plastic cups and a ice bucket; unfortunately, no ice to be had (machine apparently not working.) Generally, given price of room for two days, very disappointing.

Good value and clean
The front desk attendant was one of the friendliest I've ever met in my many hotel stays. The hotel and room were clean, well lit and in good condition. The room was very cold when I arrived (15 C, 60 F), and the "blanket" wasn't much thicker than a sheet. The floor was tile, which was a real eye-opener when getting out of bed in the middle of the night. The breakfast was bare minimum at best. It was a good value for the price and despite the issues noted above, I would stay here again.

The Royal Inn is my go-to hotel when in the area. It's an updated facility which is in good shape with plenty of parking. The bathroom was very nice as was the room itself with a good sized TV and comfortable beds. I don't like the Spectrum TV service but it does offer a lot of channels. The breakfast is ok with waffles, packaged egg & sausage sandwiches and other sugary breakfast stuff. I didn't use any facilities like the gym so can't comment on those. For the conditions of the place and price it's a great value. As a home renovator myself, one thing I would do which wasn't done with the updates is change the old outlets and switches which are the only things that look worn in the place.

This was a great hotel for the price. The rooms feel like they have recently been redone to give a clean and comfortable feeling. The location was great, only 10 minutes to downtown Akron. The breakfast had a variety of options.
