“Nice Hotel Great value”

Best Western Royal Palace Inn and Suites

31 Oct 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

The hotel meets all my requirements; good location within a maximum 20 minutes drive to all LA attractions, safe neighbourhood, reasonable price, free breakfast (good one), free parking (tight but wonderful benefit in LA), guest laundry (helped me a lot), big comfortable room w/siiting area, fridge and microwave (You can save at eating).

For me a hotel is a place with free options just to have a sleep and save to pay for attractions. The staff were awesoome, very kind, very helpful and knowledgeable; especially Fred, thank you for everything. I would defintely recommend the hotel for families and I will stay there every time I am in LA.

You must try The Lobster restaurant in Santa Monica, (expensive) but amazing!!! Just five to seven minutes drive from the hotel.

We booked here strictly because of the location and would probably have looked elsewhere had we known about the parking situation. Parking is tight. Very tight.

The desk staff was friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a suite and happy about that. We were very happy with the room, although the bathroom was a little cramped. Internet access was possible only with an wi fi amplifier. At 3:00 they had two at the desk, one of which worked and provided a nice solid connection.

There aren't any restaurants withing easy walking distance, and the parking situation makes driving to a restaurant an unwelcome option. We ordered out. There aren't a lot of other local choices, but I'd try to find someplace with better parking and a nearby restaurnat.

When the best parking option is street parking, you know it's not good, but that doesn't even come close to describing the parking mess you'll find here. There are two parking lots, one is above ground and has about eight spots. It's a dead end lot so while getting in can be doable, getting out is a mess, as you have to manuever the other cars as well as the uncomfortably close walls of the hotel. Once you leave, you have to go out on to a busy street and your view will be blocked on both sides by the lucky guests who were able to find street parking.

If you have to park in the underground lot, you have to manuever through other cars, poles, garbage, the ceiling (!), as well as the unsafely steep one way ramp that leads down to the parking structure. If you are entering when someone else is trying to exit, you'll either have to reverse up a narrow hill with walls on both sides or hope the other person will reverse downhill into parked cars. It's going to be an accident either way so just hope for the best.

Once you get into the hotel, assuming you even make it that far, you'll probably have to try a few times before you get a clean room (i've stayed here twice and was shown to a dirty room both times). Then you can plug in your computer and if you're lucky enough to get a computer signal (I could on one of the 4 days I was there) it will not be "high-speed." I actually got a faster connection using the phone line. You can try to complain to the front desk but they'll just tell you to call a 1-800 help line that will just tell you that the problem is on the hotel's end.

The only nice thing about the hotel is the location, although there is absolutely NOTHING within walking distance or even short driving distance, you can reach all of the LA destinations without having to pay the typical LA prices. There is one guy that works at the hotel that is very nice but most of the workers could really care less about you.

Do yourself a favor and stay at the Ramada down the street. It used to be a Holiday Inn Express, it has good parking, and it's cheaper.

“Pros and Cons”

Best Western Royal Palace Inn and Suites

8 Jan 2007

We arrived at 3:15, and were upgraded to a suite at no charge. However, the room was not ready, and we had to sit in the lobby until 3:45. We were offered another room after about 10 min., but declined as we wanted a king size bed.
The suite itself wasn't bad, but the industrial carpeting was coarse underfoot, and the bathroom had a tiny "half shower" only, and a sink that was set so low that I, at a little over 5 feet, had to bend considerably to use it. The paint was peeling off the ceiling as well.
The biggest problem we encountered was that the heating unit didn't work. It was a combo a/c-heater and only blew cold air, even after running for 10 min. Because we got back to the room late, we threw the quilted bedspread back on the bed and slept OK.
Everything people had said about the parking situation is true; it can be done, but you must maneuver very slowly.
In the morning, we did apprise the front desk of the heating situation, and they immediately sent someone to check it out. They also said they were aware of the peeling paint in the bathroom, and that was also scheduled to be fixed.
In conclusion, this hotel was OK for a one night stay, considering it was under $100/night and parking was free. Just go with those expectations.

“Decent hotel, big rooms, horrible parking”

The hotel had perfectly nice rooms, quite large, ours hand a sort of funny "back room" with a second TV, microwave, fridge, and sofa bed leading onto a balcony. It's hard to describe without seeing it, but it looked like the front rooms of some of those all-suite hotels that normally sit by the front door, except that this was in the back of the room. It almost seems as if they had planned to make street entrances in the back and then changed their mind.

Room was clean, bathroom had a mini-tub and shower, so the "tub" is a bit bigger than a stall shower, but an adult couldn't soak in it.

Free wirelss internet worked well, hotel was very clean.

Parking was awful. The lot is under the hotel and is entered by a steep driveway that requires a tight right turn. The space is not open - it has poles, walls, etc, that make many of the already few spaces very tough to get into. Best for a small car with a passenger who can get out and guide you.
