Nice rooms but not the cleanest and manager are very nosey
Very good rooms the owners are very nice love this place when I am in town to visit family
This little motel is truly a hidden gem in Lomita. The rooms are large, recently updated, and very clean. We were surprised by how comfortable the beds were. Our room also had working (and clean) fridge and microwave. Now for a few reasons for the missing star: The rooms only come with two very small towels. Nearly hand towel size to dry off a grown adult body just doesn't cut it. Not only are the towels small, they're very rough & scratchy. The free toiletries are also very limited. Shampoo and conditioner come in packets nearly the size of a wet nap packet. This place is perfect if you're looking of a cheaply priced overnight stay, just don't expect the Ritz Carlton.
It’s clean and an excellent value. Looks like it’s a family business from the front desk staffing. Checking in and out was quick and easy. It’s not fancy. The aesthetics are lacking, and it looks like a mishmash of clashing styles from the 80s and 90s, but it’s everything was clean with the exception of the floors being a little dusty. The blankets were thin but given the weather it was fine. Our room had a decent sized tv with lots of channels, a large mini fridge, and a microwave. Everything worked and smelled normal. I would stay there again if I came back to LA. Honestly, for the price it’s pretty great.
This little place is a deal for the price. Quite, very clean, the staff is awesome and the parking is secure with video surveillance. I spent a week here while on a work trip. I slept great during the 100 plus degree days and the AC kept the room nice and cold. Just a half mile away is a great light shopping center with everything you might want. Thanks Royal Inn, I will bring you a plumeria next time I come.
The rooms are clean and there are restaurants nearby.
i stayed this place two night and i would like recomend to who wants stay in long beach area . $ 35 a night , lcd tv , microwave , refrigerator , n all chanels HBO, TNT, ESPN, and Pro , jacuzzi spa
Good place to stay. Fine rate for the area. Courteous staff. Spotless room. Clean and quiet. Nice features such as microwave and fridge. Solid louvers on windows shut out light during day, great for sleeping in or day sleeping. Only downside, and not the house's fault. A day care center next door. Kids kind of loud at times. I'll be glad to book here again though.
The Owner was non-judgmental, Kind and Courteous...His Motel is Clean and I felt Welcomed there
Honestly one of the better little motels nearby. Room was big, and clean. Hardwood floors, it wasn't all dingy and dirty like you find at other motels. The night we stayed it was calm and quiet no commotion or anything. We slept very well and were happy with our stay! The owner, Nick, is extremely nice and does a great job on maintaining his motel! We were having dinner, and we didn't have any bowls for our soup so we went to the front desk and he was kind enough to give us some disposable bowls! Very kind of him. Overall great stay, would recommend and would stay again!
