I had an enjoyable stay at the Royal hotel in southern part of the island of Trinidad which I considered good. The facilities available were accommodating the every guest. There is an exercise room which I made use of daily. There could be some improvement on the continental breakfast however, the staff were very friendly and courteous. Parking availability is a plus at this hotel.

The Royal Hotel is a two part story. The rooms are clean and semi-comfortable but the decore is from 1970's. Bedding, furniture and closet space need major upgrades.The main portion of the hotel including the lobby, resturant, bar and associated bathrooms have been renovated and are much nicer than the rooms. There is also a very nice pool area which I didn't use. Resturant food including the included continential breakfast were acceptable but not great. I recommed the Chinese place around the corner. If you are looking for a reasonally price hotel in a convienent location in San Franando for a short 1-3 day business stay I would recomend the Royal.

Halliburton put us up here for a few days till we could get our work visas approved for Suriname. The hotel was very clean. Meals were very high class. Iloved the tropical plants everywhere. The property is backed up to jungle. I would love to have the pavilion in my back yard. Nice breeze all the time. The tree out in front looks like it could be 400 years old.

I overnighted here along with my sister on her prom night. We chose Royal Hotel because it was the most accessible hotel in the area. Bad decision. Initially, I had e-mailed the hotel to get rates and so on. For a few days well, a rep from the hotel and I exchanged e-mails untiI I was comfortable with everything and gave the ok for her to go ahead and book my stay. She advised me that my reservation was booked for the particular night and all was in order, or was it?
Upon arrival at the hotel, I attempted to check in but was told by the arrogant receptionist that there was no booking under my name and no reservation was confirmed. I advised the young lady that I was back and forth e-mailing the hotel and was given the impression that my stay was already established. She replied to me that I should have called to get a booking, and that was the only way they would confirm. With some sort of luck, thought, she managed to get an available room for me. Boy, was I upset at this point.
Anyways, the room was comfortable enough. I was glad that there was cable tv and the a/c was functional. However, the bathroom could have used some, ok, a lot of work. For the high rates, I would have expected something a little more pleasing to the eye and a little less drab. The cold water faucet at the face sink was not working so my sister and I had to deal with the hot water only or resort to using the cold water in the shower to wash our faces and brush our teeth. The aura of the bathroom itself was depressing. Not what I paid for. I did not appreciate this hotel in the least. Good thing we only stayed for one night.
