Good place for the value. With the exception of a few stains on the chair and ottoman and slightly outdated furniture, the rooms were clean and had everything we needed. AC works very well. In room microwave, refrigerator, Direct TV, hot shower, and ice was nearby. Nice upgraded tile around tub/shower and granite sink counter. They had good shampoo & conditioner but I didn't find a blow dryer. Beds are a little firm for my taste but overall decent place to stay in Linden, Tx. No coffee in the room, but we got that at the donut shop that was practically in the parking lot, just a few steps from our room, open 5am-1pm. Front staff was very nice and helpful.

Guys pick to stay here. This little town is all into it's revitalization and this hotel has done an awesome update job. We stayed in a double non smoking. Late check in was no problem. Owners are the sweetest people! No odors, nice pillows, clean, great tv channels. Donut store in the parking lot. Would definitely stay again during a weekend trip. The noise from 59 is there but with theTV on it's hard to notice.

Clean, comfortable and great breakfast. The price is a but steep, but the place is well located, beds are super comfy, nice shower, very nice breakfast with yogurt and toppings, real eggs and bacon, biscuits and gravy, pancakes. I didn't like that the pool only opens at noon and they don't accept pets. Other than that, pretty nice place.

Just stayed here last night and have got to compared to my previous value hotel experiences I couldn't be happier! Yes it's a two star hotel but it's what you expect when staying at a place at this price, clean rooms, basic necessities, and pleasant staff. If you're coming through Linden and are considering staying at some other value hotels that you normally find (Super 8's, Best westerns, Red roof Inn) I highly recommend you give this place a chance instead.

We had to evacuate from Louisiana for hurricane ida. Been here almost a week now with a child and two kitty cats. Owners have been amazing and helpful! They’re quick to recommend where to eat, offer us assistance any time we need something, and are all around great people! I couldn’t ask for better service. This isn’t a big, fancy hotel or anything, but the room is clean and we feel safe. I would recommend if you find yourself this way, for sure.

I was running from Hurricane Laura and this was the only place I could find that was pet friendly as all motel rooms were taken by Wednesday morning. It was 170 mile north of the hurricane impact but I was concerned since most motels that accept pets had horrible, sticky carpet. Imagine my surprise when I arrived, and the outside was unremarkable, but I found the room wonderful. The floors and shower were covered with sparkling clean ceramic tile, there was a comfy chair and ottoman for reading and the bed had clean new stylish linens. They didn't have the usual amenities, like a coffee pot, etc but due to the COVID I wouldn't have used them. The refrigerator was cold and microwave worked perfectly. There was a grassy area right outside my door (room 121) that was perfect for my dog. I would recommend this as an overnight for any travelers with a pet. Oh, wifi was spotty, but when I called the owner/manager he came to my room and made sure my laptop and iPhone were connected.

Our stay at Royal Inn was awesome. We paid 60 bucks to stay for the night and we brought our dog! The rooms were cleaner than any hotel I've ever been to and this place is in the middle of a very small town. I have zero complaints and will definitely be coming back and telling family to stay here when they come to visit us after we move to Linden later this month. The owner Bob is a kind person and made my fiancee and I feel very welcome. Definitely come stay here if you're looking for a place to sleep comfortably for the night, you won't be disappointed.
