About this property
Welcome to Royal Inn
Royal Inn is a low-rise motel located on South Bay Street in Eustis, Florida, offering modest accommodations suited for travelers seeking straightforward lodging. The property includes basic amenities such as cable TV, microwaves, minifridges in some rooms, and a swimming pool, with free Wi-Fi and parking available. While air conditioning is standard, the motel does not provide breakfast, restaurant services, or an airport shuttle.
The property’s rating of 3.2 reflects mixed guest experiences. Several reviews praise the cleanliness and welcoming staff, highlighting value for visitors needing short-term stays. However, some guests noted aging facilities and minor issues, such as dated furnishings or concerns over noise and security in the neighborhood. This suggests the motel is most suitable for practical travelers prioritizing price and location over luxury.
Situated near well-known outdoor spots like Lake Harris, Ferran Park, and Trout Lake Nature Center, the motel is convenient for those interested in fishing, nature walks, or recreational activities. It is also within reasonable driving distance of multiple airports, including Orlando Sanford International and Orlando Executive Airport, making it an option for visitors arriving by air who require easy access to regional attractions.
Royal Inn caters primarily to budget-conscious travelers and those looking for a simple, functional base during their visit to Eustis. Families with children may appreciate the kid-friendly environment and some rooms with kitchenettes. However, the lack of accessibility features and pet-friendliness should be considered when planning a stay.

I was visiting a friend that has rented the room for the week. I noticed that the heater worked great. The room was clean but I noticed that the chairs for the table were missing.
8.0
Very pleasant place to stay, peaceful and clean. Pool area very nice and inviting. Staff make you feel welcome. Glad to be here and they accept dogs so happy about that.

Owners are nice. Room was clean, Tv, refrigerator and microwave were new and a/c worked excellent (power went out during hurricane, but thats not the hotels fault) Owner got us in during hurricane. It makes,an excellent safe house during a storm or if you need a place 1-3 days. Longer it would not be my cup of tea. It's not the Hilton and it's far from it, the locals are nice but a little shady. For $70 a night, you can't beat it for a short stay. Eustis a nice little small town.

Room was ok. The sheets were clean. Just has that old worn out moldy stank smell and they have the nerve to say I can't smoke in it. Like it would matter. Dr Feelgood was down the hall so that helped. Coke machine in front got me for 50 but they leveled up.
8.0
Stayed here for a while until my family got a place. Some over nighters you have to watch out for but over all good stay. No bugs. Friendly service.
8.0
We were nervous given all of the old reviews mentioning bed bugs and bad service But, I have to say this may have been one of the nicest motels we have ever stayed at especially given the price. We believe it’s under new management. We ran a uv light through the room and it was SO clean. The service was great, although we don’t require much. We didn’t get to use any of the amenities, but the pool looked really clean. We would’ve used it given the time. The only complaints we have is that everything is kind of old. There were holes in the comforter, the furniture is old and creaky. Our tv was a little discolored and old. But these complaints do not override the price. Generally speaking, if you’re looking for a place to stay for just a couple of nights, this is a strong contender. I really do think these older reviews are just outdated. (The pillow reviews still stand though..I’d bring your own)
8.0
The place is ok to much money for to people 325.00 a week so it's going to 300.00 for just one person the room is big and nice it's a place to call home for a little while I would say everything work's in our room besides the damn ac needs to be working alot better but besides that the room is good
