initially, I was upset because I was charged then told that my reservation was not in the system. Upon further review, the manager quickly alerted me that I had booked for Sunday and not Saturday as I had originally thought. she was patient and very professional and accommodating me although it was my error. I owe her tremendous gratitude and great customer service followed. The room I had was clean recently remodeled and she took a negative and turned to a positive. Thank you both.

Parking should be included with the stay..and cashless at the bar and cafe is not cool. Especially when they have a cash tip box on the counter. So many dinning options in walking distance was nice!

I showed up at the Royal Palace with my back completely thrown out while on a solo roadtrip and was very moved by the staff's kindness. They helped me get into my room early so I could lie down, and when it unexpectedly got much worse they helped me extend my stay and even brought me a fork when my food delivery was missing one! I will absolutely be back and especially recommend the Royal Palace to anyone dealing with medical stuff or disabilities. They were so understanding and nice which made...

The hotel has definitely been updated since the last time I was there about 3 yrs ago. Staff was great. A lot of families stayed there. A lot less homeless people around the area which is good. We walked dow the street to western and sunset to Leo’s tacos. Amazing food. Definitely recommend the hotel. We will for sure be staying there more often.

Great location if you're visiting your kid at UCLA. I could walk to and from campus through some beautiful neighborhoods. Although, be warned... nobody walks in LA. You'll stand out! :-)
