A classic motel. The room and mattress were very clean, and the hotel staff was very kind and communicative. Rooms are small but have everything you need.

I love the retro/beach vibe of the motel. The lovely lady that checked me in was so nice & accommodating. The room was very clean. I also loved that there was a pool on the property & the beach was within walking distance. I will definitely return again.

The motel looks old. But was very nice, and clean, my only recommendations would be to reprint the lines in the parking lot because it's important to management that you park between the lines.

The property was in prime location. Just a few minutes to the beach by foot. Literally five minutes. Location was perfect. You can walk just a few blocks and be in the downtown area where you can get food and drinks without any worries about driving. The motel was cute and vintage. Very adorable. Great for a few nights day. If you don’t mind a tiny house living the Royal Palms is the perfect place.

It was fine. Not a place we would typically stay but it was convenient. Room is the size of a walk in closet and the toilet is jammed in a corner! But it was good enough

The hotel is very retro and so cute. It is very convenient to the beach and easy to get around town from. We loved it and will definitely come back. The staff is so friendly and if i had a complaint it would just be the floor seemed a little dirty but at the beach im sure all seem that way.
