Best Western Royal Palace Inn & Suites

The staff were wonderful, from Reception to the ladies working in the dining area. They are friendly, smiley and just beautiful. A big shout out to Paola :) Breakfast was nice. Checking in / Out was pretty smooth. The location is suitable for my visit purpose. close to Santa Monica and to Beverly Hills at the same time

Everything in the room worked perfectly: Internet, safe, electricity, plumbing, AC, and the linens (sheets and towels) are impeccable. The hotel serves a very fine breakfast and eating at a table by the pool is lovely. In addition, the staff is friendly, helpful and prompt to reply to all questions. The neighborhood isn't ideal but Sawtelle Japantown is within walking distance and Santa Monica is just a 10 minute drive away.

- Location: One of the prime reasons we booked this hotel for our 4-night stay. It's just a block from the Metro Expo Line connecting Downtown LA to Downtown SA. Travel was convenient to & from the airport via Culver City Bus 6. Uber was also easily available. There are several restaurants & convenience/grocery/pharmacy stores nearby and within the walking distance. - Management: On the 2nd day of our stay, we met the owner who also happened to be from India. It was a lovely interaction. He gave us very helpful recommendations on where to visit for shopping, and it was indeed the best advice. - Reception: The front desk guy was very courteous and jolly. He assigned us the first room in the main building which was literally 5 steps from the lobby/dining area as soon as we arrived. - Budget: The hotel was well within our budget considering the prices of hotels around the Downtown SM area. We simply needed a place to stay as we were out most of the day. However, the room size really surprised us, and the continental breakfast was a nice inclusion. - Amenities: The room had all the basic amenities as mentioned on the listing while booking. Housekeeping was also done as requested on the same day. On-demand toiletries were brought without any delay. Overall it was a good stay and worth the price paid. If we ever visit LA again, we will definitely consider Royal Place Inn.

The room was fine, third building second floor. Our stay was booked for 5 days so we had a fair amount of bags. They did have a luggage cart available but there wasn’t any way to get it to the second floor. The stairs were long and kind of steep. Our room overlooked the back parking lot where there appeared to be a great deal of activity nightly around a white van. It was nice and quiet anyway. Specific parking slots are not assigned to each room so it was a search every time. One night the only space was in the underground area and it was creepy. There was a person sitting in the dark in a dark green BMW… hmm, wonder why. Eventually, we saw that parking on the street was safest. The hotel was not in a bad area, just on a busy street. The “free breakfast” was a lunch bag with a variety of cheap items. (I saw on some site that if you booked with breakfast included, it was an additional $30+ per day.) While it’s understandable that they took safety measures during COVID, they could have done a much better job on the contents of the daily breakfast “bag”. There was only one ice machine for the property but each room did have a refrigerator and coffee maker. The towels were average and the bedding and pillows were good.

Breakfast was great Matress and pillows very comfy Fred's attention at the front desk cleaning ladies very nice great location, near santa monica, culver city, hollywood, beverlyhills, nice and quiet for good resting time
