Updated and comfortable, this was the perfect spot for a getaway weekend. Although the traffic on the nearby road can be loud at times, it didn't interfere with rest. Staff was friendly and attentive.

The staff was outstanding! The hotel was a converted motel trying to be a real hotel. While the owner is trying very hard to create a pleasant stay, the property is still in need of a lot of work an upgrades.

Enjoyable stay

Stayed here for a concert at Royal Oak Music Theater. The staff I interacted with were helpful and friendly. My room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a little firm but still pretty good. When I returned to the hotel it looked like the front office turns into a little lounge and serves drinks. Definitely would stay here again.

This was a really cute motel. I was very leery after reading bad reviews (still not sure how they'd get any) The room was clean, bed was comfortable. We used the outdoor "patio" area and watched a football game. We stayed here because it was close to the Mark Ridleys comedy club. The employees were very nice. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

An older hotel that has been modernized. Conveniently located near downtown Royal Oak. Staff is friendly. Beds very comfortable. Room was clean. A nice change from cookie cutter chain motels.

Get ready to travel back to a bygone era where 1950's motel comes back to life with a modern twist. At Hotel Royal Oak you will experience the comforts of modern life like wifi and a big screen tv while having the opportunity to feel the nostalgia of your grandmother's blue bathroom tiles and 50's decor. Enjoy room service and live music while also having the opportunity of relaxing in the courtyard or guest lounge. This place is really like no other and is worth visiting just for the experience let alone it being walking distance to downtown Royal Oak.

Excellent Boutique Motel

Very clean and eco friendly hotel. Excellent location and awesome staff. Only suggestions would be to have butter at breakfast for the bagels (not everyone eats cream cheese) and Splenda or stevia for coffee (not everyone uses sugar). Otherwise, no issues and will gladly stay again ❤️
