When they say 3 PM check-in, they mean it. It would be nice to have something on the door stating hours of operation. We arrived before 3 and the place was locked up tight. There was no indication that it was open for business, just momentarily closed for lunch or whatever. It appeared to be closed permanently. The on-line information mentions parking. It is there, but it isn't necessarily at the hotel. It can be found for free, thankfully. It is an old structure and shows it. There seems to be a very strong concentration of mold and mildew. My wife could smell it very easily, and had trouble sleeping due to this odor. Turning on the shower in the morning was interesting. Who knew you had to turn on a switch outside the bathroom to start the water? Nothing indicated anywhere. I just guessed and got lucky. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the Royal. I really want to, because it's obvious this area needs the influx of tourism money, the amenities need upgrading before they'll get too many customers. Mostly, better information would go a long way to helping out visitors.
