There were a few issues upon arrival. The room was unlocked which was odd. It has a coded door lock but when you leave it does not automatically lock so you have to remember to manually lock it. Same for when you’re in the room. Although there was a window AC unit, there was still central AC that was only controlled by the front desk. So it was freezing in the room and I had to ask the front desk several times to either turn it down or off. The lobby area is always locked so if you want to go to the kitchen or get coffee you have to hope someone is there to buzz you in. I’ve stayed at these boutique-ey type properties before but this one just kind of missed the mark. Maybe a few tweaks to how they do things will help them in the future. That all said, it’s got a great location food, coffee etc. close by. And after the all the check in problems the staff comped my parking so that was great.

I checked in very late. Had to park my car in an alley that wasn't secured. Hallway was dungy. Once I opened my door, I should have closed it and said, this isn't what was advertised. Instead I took 15 minutes to find another hotel and left. On the way out, Front Desk was locked up.
Now, Hotel Royal refuses to reimburse. The whole experience with this hotel was miserable.

Staff was very helpful. However, the hotel needs some help.. The suite/apartment we stayed in needs a thorough and deep cleaning, a coat of paint and perhaps new flooring in the living and kitchen area. There are new rooms in the hotel that may be better. Overall, for the price point, it was okay. We were there for one day prior to a cruise. This hotel reminds me of a hostel. It seems as though they are working to make continued upgrades. I’m guessing that once upgrades are made, pricing will go up. Again, it was fine for one night. I’m not sure we’d stay there again.

Front desk guy nice and very accommodating. They allowed us to check in early without an extra cost.
The ONLY reason why I rated the hotel a 2 is because of the motion sensor lights in our room and bathroom. We could not move within the room or go pass the bathroom without ALL the lights coming on. Super annoying!!
We also noticed light switches in the most out of reach places. Two on the ceiling and one on the wall next to the AC unit.

Hotel Royal is a boutique hotel, as advertised. It is right in downtown LB so is highly walkable to nearly everything you'd like. I took the train from LAX and the station is a few blocks away; the staff is super friendly and helpful and responsive; it is a walk-up property so take that into consideration. My room was small- it was too small to fit a chair so it had no chair. I like to work on the computer in the morning so that was not ideal. I equated the room size and bathroom size to some European boutique hotels. I Ndo not know if other rooms were larger, though i suspect some are. I grabbed a bike every morning for a ride on the beach bike path- offering a free bike rental is nice, though i wish they had a simple allen wrench to adjust the seat heights; i tried to find one to given them but failed; I used the refrig in the room- always nice to have one.

Make no mistake this is grunge town. The pictures look good online and the reviews said it was good, but not my cup of tea. Use my own sheets and the AC did not stay on cool the whole night. The bath is extra small, no one over 6' can use the shower. The Parking is a nightmare for $25 per night which will bring the total up to a brand hotel without all the issues. It depends if want the real urban experience or a good night's sleep. Your choice.

Cute Lobby. The location to the town is good, but it is super noisy and the parking and walking in the evening and night is not safe. Unfortunately, there are a lot of homeless around the entire block and people out all night yelling. The day staff was very nice. The check in staff barely acknowledged anyone even looked up. Be prepared to walk up 2-3 floors of very steep stairs. We wanted to live this property, but it didn’t feel safe.

The young man working the front desk was very kind and professional. That was the best part of the hotel.
As for the hotel..... where do i start?
The narrow, rickety stairs going to the second floor were covered in gross, stained carpet. The room was tiny. I was not expecting it to be so closed in. Although clean in appearance, the overwhelming sent of airfreshiner was gagging both myself and my gf. There was nowhere to sit comfortably. My gf was so alarmed she immediately started checking the bed for bed bugs. Thankfully we could open the windows to air out the room. We left pretty quick to go get dinner. The walk towards the marina was nice. There are a million restaurants and cute shops all within walking distance. We got back to the room pretty tired so we went to bed and found the bed surprisingly very comfortable. Had a great nights sleep. The next morning the same sweet clerk was working the front desk and helped us back down the scary stairs with our baggage.
Some good, some bad. Just be prepare before you book here.
My biggest issue. This is clearly a MOTEL, not a hotel. And should be reclassified as such.
