“A TRUE - 5 STAR!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2011
3
people found this review helpful

When we travel with my in-laws, they always want to pay a little (or way more) to stay in a more leisure type hotel, but those B!G hotels have dusty windows, they even have dead flies at the bottom of the windows, under the beds are dusty and their bed skirts have been gathering dust, there is always issues like coffee maker doesn't work, shower is too hot, etc. I really react because if we pay this much, we should at least get extra "good experience".

On the other hand, when I travel with my parents, we usually stay in a cheaper and smaller hotels, and they usually aren't good, they might be nice and friendly too but they are usually dirty or their beds are old, but since it is cheaper, we come to a conclusion to say that I guess we get what we paid for.

But this hotel ROYAL MOTOR INN, is a great experience for us, I usually don't give reviews but I think I have to tell this extra-ordinary situation. We came in in the middle of the night greeted with smiles, they have small office but they have big smile and very welcoming, then when we came in the room -- wow! for the price we are paying, I didn't expect the rooms would be wonderful, looks like their beds are new, the bathroom is shinny, since I was surprise with the neat room upon entry, I just started to see the window if it is dusty, which is very common in Big and expensive hotels, and then look under the bed and bed skirt, wow, I'm impressed, really clean, since we took 2 rooms, I checked at my parents room, thinking maybe just our room for co-incidence, but my parent's room is just as clean and their bed looks new too. So, if ever we travel to this place again, surely, we will stay in this Hotel. It is truly an extra-ordinary experience I had ever had in a hotel with a cheap price in yet it was a 5 star experience! THANKS TO ALL THE STAFF AT ROYAL MOTOR INN.

“Very clean, affordable rooms and friendly workers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011

My boyfriend and I stayed for a weekend in February. We were greeted by a nice young women who let us look at the rooms before we rented. She was very kind and the rooms smelled good and were well cleaned. The room was priced right for our budget and offered wifi, breakfast and room service was offered daily. We enjoyed our stay and if we head back to NE Oregon we will stay at this hotel.

“Since when is a hotel not children friendly?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010

I have never been asked to keep my kids under control while staying in a motel. My kids are more quiet than 90% of the guest at any place, so that offended me right away. I wonder how often they mop their floors as well, and their house cleaning staff is severly lacking in the skills that are required to run a clean hotel. My family was starting to wonder if people in the area were anti-children. It was also very confusing to get anywhere in town without prior knowledge or a GPS.

“Comfortable motel, very clean, with pleasant & helpful owners.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2010

person found this review helpful

This was an overnight stop on a x-country ski trip in NE Oregon, so was very adequate to our needs. Though furnishings were basic & room small, it was large enough for 2 of us and everything was absolutely clean & neat. Owners & assistant were friendly, helpful, & competant. Seemed to be a favorite stopover for quite a few travelers.
