Almost stayed here on Saturday August 27 2016. This place is horrible, paint flaking off walls, ripped comforters that had been stitched back up, hairs in the bathroom, foul odour, insect fell out of lamp when we turned it on... Room not cleaned properly, disgusting in general...
His slogan on his sign out front says "noted for better housekeeping" which is a bold faced lie...
I could not stay there with my twin twelve year old daughters, we just needed a place to lay our heads for the night and weren't expecting lavish by any means. From the second I walked in I felt dirty and couldn't get out of there fast enough. The second we entered we all looked at each other and said "no way".
We immediately went back to the car and I went to the office and requested a refund and informed the gentleman that we would not be staying. His reply was that "you already checked in", and refused to refund our money. I told him that I would call Visa and request a chargeback and he didn't care. We were back to the office requesting a refund within ten minutes of renting the room as a walk-in, this wasn't booked in advance and by no means could he have turned away other bookings to rent to us in the time we arrived to the time we informed him we would not be staying.
He also goes by the names Royal Lodge Motel Hope, Royal Hotel Hope and is listed on Expedia. My advice to you; if all rooms in Hope are booked and this is your only choice, find a nice bridge to sleep under...
