Royal Inn was convenient to where I needed to be to meet my friends from TN. I was pleasantly impressed that it was managed by a family. The manager did a great job of greeting me and offering assistance if needed during my entire stay. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay there again.

The hotel was what we expected for the price. It was clean and the staff were very friendly. The only downside was that the mattress was very hard.
