I stayed at the Royal Resort in Las Vegas January 11-18, 2008. Upon driving into the parking lot I noticed the building in general looked a bit tired and in need of a little love. The lobby was the best part of the hotel as the rooms and halls were at the very least shabby and seemed a bit run down. I stayed on the 5th floor facing the Wynn Casino. Upon entering my room the little room fridge door was open and the fridge was not cleaned out. The lock on the sliding glass door to the outer balcony/ledge was broken, and my supposedly non-smoking room smelled of smoke. I spoke to the front desk and they moved me to the non-smoking room next door. It too smelled of smoke and there were cigarette burns on the countertop. Overall the room just seemed a bit dirty like the cleaning staff just does the bare minimum to make the room ready for the next guest. I did not want to touch the beadspread, or walk barefoot on the carpet. The couch in my room was made of a velvet material and was also dirty. I asked for an extra sheet from houskeeping to cover the couch with before I would sit on it. My mattress was worn and I could feel the springs poking up in certain spots. The bathrooms were adequate, but small. The shower had a previous guest's hair stuck on the shower wall and wasn't very clean. I am a person who doesn't need perfection, but I do like things somewhat on the clean side to feel comfy. This hotel did not feel very comfy because I really didn't want to touch anything in my room because it seemed dirty. While the location was good, I probably would not stay here again.
