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.

This was a trip to see the New Frontier implosion. It seemed to me that room rates were discustingly high for my taste $200-$600 was way over my budget I happend onto the Royal resort through another website it was dirt cheap more to my budget. I went to check in, the front desk was alittle on the rude side but very efficiant. To my suprise my room overlooked the new frontier I was more then excited now I wasn't going to have to leave my room and try and find a space at 2 o'clock in the morning. somethings were that the halls and the room were sprayed with something nauseatingly sweet due to the paint and stale smell, the room scent disapated due to there being a too small balcony. I thought that the front desk was nicer to the co-workers then they were to the guests but I talked to the front desk twice so that made no difference to me. The hotel was close to a convienence store, a walgreens and other stores...

Stayed here during Nascar weekend so it was one of the cheapest we could find. Staff was very friendly, more friendly than alot of other places we've stayed at.

The rooms were pretty comfortable, the beds were okay, but VERY COMFY PILLOWS! That was a plus. There was alot of dust in the unit the tv was in. Bathroom was ok, not the best shower head. The a/c didn't work well, it seemed like it blew more warm air than cool. It does have a small refrigerator.

None of the soda machines or ice machines were working. Each floor we went to there was an "out of order" sign. The only vending machine was on the very top floor and it wasn't working either. Hotel staff told us to walk across the street to Walgreens.

There is no casino so the place is fairly quiet, not alot of traffic. The elevators were pretty fast. We didn't eat at the restaurant or use the pool but the temperature of the pool was on the gate and it did look appealing.

Not a huge parking lot and no security but we never really felt unsafe. Stayed on the 6th floor and left our balcony door open each night. Our room was on the backside of hotel.

There was some noise each evening from construction being done at the Wynn, which is right across the back of the hotel. The Stardust was also being imploded and you could see it from the hotel. No complaints about seeing something like that, though, it was pretty cool. Other than the construction there wasn't a whole lot of noise. The streets were pretty quiet for it being Vegas, but it is really just a couple blocks from the strip.

The Royal Resort was a great base from which to explore the Las Vegas
Strip. It is located a quick 1-2 minute walk from the strip, near the
north end (just South of the Riviera). We found we could easily walk to most places. It took us less than ten minutes to get to the Wynn or the Fashion Show Mall, for example. There is also a Deuce bus
stop close by, but the nearest monorail stop is a fair distance.

The hotel itself is pretty basic, but the rooms were clean and quiet.
The staff was very friendly and we never had to wait to get service at the front desk (checking in and out was a breeze!). We booked through a timeshare, so I'm not sure what the nightly rates are like.
I would guess you can find cheaper places, but if you want something small and quiet, it might be worth a few extra bucks to stay here. The pool is small, but we never found it to be busy. The cabanas are free to use.

There are numerous restaurants nearby. We were on a pretty tight budget, so we made good use of the food court in the Riviera and the MacDonalds across the street. There is also a 24 hour Walgreens right across the street, which was great for snacks and anything else we needed.

Overall, this is a great alternative to the larger hotels. There's no casino, meaning you can just walk into the hotel and up to your room (no navigating the crowds). It isn't fancy, but it defnitely suited our needs. We had a great time!
