I stayed here in July 02. The rooms are very clean, very comfortable, but rather dated. Feels a bit like a early 80s airport hotel. Having said that, the air conditioning is superb and while it may be on a rather ugly street, it's very convenient- only a couple of minute walk to the bay front (Base, Rock etc)

We were guests at the Hotel Royal Plaza April 23-26 and April 30-May 3. 2003. We were very pleased with our accommodations. This is a beautiful, well-kept property. The staff were great, both rooms were perfect and housekeeping really fixes them up nicely. We stayed in a Premier Whirlpool Tower Room with 2 double beds and a sofa-bed. The Bathroom was HUGE, and was equipped with a Whirlpool Roman Tub and the soaps and shampoo and lotions (and rubber duckies) are all from Bath & Body Works. The view from our room was spectacular. We could see the lights and fireworks from pleasure Island from our room. The rooms have the standard amenities you'd expect in a nice hotel, but to me, what really set this place apart was things like the poolside bar, having an iron and ironing board in the room, the electronic in-room safe, the easy-to-use voice mail, the ceiling fan, and the Bath & Body Works stuff.When you walk into the lobby, you'll know you made the right choice by staying there. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to stay at a beautiful, fancy hotel without paying an arm and a leg.
