Great choice for enjoying Royal Oak
We really like staying at Hotel Royal Oak when we go to see bands in Royal Oak or Ferndale (short walk or rideshare). It is funky, fun and the staff are super nice. The breakfast next door is a nice touch. Recoommend!

The hotel was clean and has had a nice renovation. The bathroom and shower was nice along with nice decor. The bed was a little stiff and uncomfortable for my liking and the worst part is the HVAC system it runs every 5 minutes no matter what you set the temperature at and is loud making it nearly impossible to sleep.

MOTEL not HOTEL
First off this was a MOTEL not a hotel so that was a little shot when we arrived. Hotels.com also says it's pet friendly and when we showed up with a Lab and they only accept 30# dogs, that was an issue. It was noisy with the parking lot right outside your door.

the front desk staff were soooo sweet and funny and super helpful during the check in process. Helped us get wifi set up and let us know where our room was in the complex and that we could repark as well to be closer. The rooms were very cute and cozy. Bathrooms are kinda small and a little outdated but I was honestly not bothered as it was just a one night stay and the rooms have all standard amenities. Very good alternative option to much more expensive hotels in the area and still keeps you in central royal oak area!
