This hotel was a timeshare exchange. We were very unimpressed. The lobby was neat and clean and front desk staff friendly. However, once we entered our room, we could notbelieve how out-dated and dirty it appeared. The carpet had stains and bathroom moldy. Also our air-conditioner didn't work until the last day. We called and reported the problem and said they "fixed" it, but that was not the case. They need to remodel this hotel, but for the price I guess we got what we paid for. We would never stay here again.

We booked a 2 room suite which was nice and updated. 2 bathrooms and 2 TV's were convenient. We were very disappointed to find out after we checked in that the pool was closed. One of the reasons we booked the property was that the picture of the pool looked so good and considering it is warm in Las Vegas, we were looking forward to lounging around the pool. When I asked about it at the front desk, the clerk just nodded her head and acknowledged that, yes, it was closed. They are supposedly building a spa but we didn't see any work being done and the gate to the pool was locked. Very disappointing. The resort should include that in their advertising.

Our Stay Feb 22 to Feb 29,2008

Overall : The front desk,staff and housekeeping were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. It's always a plesant experiance to see smiling faces from the employees. They all seemed interested that we were satisfied with our stay. In general, the previous positive reviews seem to be inline with our observations. There are a some issues I will address later.

The Hotel: Yes , It is a little dated but you can not compare it to the strip mega hotels. It's clean and fresh as it could be with a great lobby. There is plenty of parking. The internet sites rate this hotel rate it as a three star which seems to be a fair rating. Being 1/2 block from the strip and exercise walking distance to a lot of the hotels is a plus. The older reviews on this site appear to be contrary to some of the above. It looks like management has made the necessary corrections.

Accomadations: The rooms are a standard size hotel/motel type area. Nothing fancy but certainly pleasant.. We did find the wall plasma TV, the apartment size frig and the microwave an extra, We don't eat out a lot, so this came in handy for in-room meals.

Concerns; Noise- Some reviewers rated the noise factor as quite. This could be relaive to your neighbor quests. You can hear people talking in the hallway - inconsiderate slaming of
doors. You may take part in the audio portion of the honeymoon couple in the room next to you. The walls are not very sound proof. This issue was minor for us but you should be aware of what could happen.

Smoking: The hotel rooms are non-smoking but this does not apply to the outside room balcony. It was our luck to have a smoking couple next to us. Even with the sliding glass door closed, the smoke would filter into our room. It was only for one night so we survived our one week stay.

In spite of the minor issues above, we would go back to this hotel again. The value and location make it all worth the stay.

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.
