Motel: This motel is extremely clean…..beds were comfy & everything worked. Great shower & plenty of clean towels.
Physical appearance both inside & out extremely dated …… like from back in the mid -50’s……but so was the nightly room rate. Rates are a true bargain for sure!!

A very large improvement over the last time I stayed there. My son wanted to try it as it is a few dollars cheaper, and I was pleasantly surprised.

I’ve stayed at a number of vintage roadside motels and the majority are rundown and showing their age. Not the Royal Rest however! It was wonderfully maintained, cozy, and stylish and I’d definitely stay here again if I ever come back to the area.

Older facility but pleasantly surprised by interior. Newer bed and pillows. Clean room. Would gladly stay again. Everything you need in an inexpensive clean room for a night or two.

I was there to do business and needed internet, my room didn't get good service, I talked to the manager and he offered to hook us up with his own personal internet, but it wasn't strong enough so he moved us to a room that was closer to the router and I finally got the signal I needed. So they went above and beyond to make sure I could do my work while staying there. Very good service, very kind people. Both rooms were very neat and clean. Very quiet also. Will definitely stay again when in that area. My only complaint is it showed a continental breakfast area in pictures, but did not have one.
