Good place to get away and relax the manager and the owners of cool with you as long as you stay out of trouble. The price there was okay I can deal with it and people don't mess around with you there
I actually became homeless for a few months and stayed their as a weekly resident. And what id say about my experience here as far as living their temporarily, as long as you communicate and respect, the owners are really sweet funny and understanding. And if you need a good laugh and have an out going and thick skin sense of humor, the housekeeper is pretty awsome, if I'd say myself. But yeah, over all, good prices, and though theirs always that one person here and their, its over all good vibes their too.. And they not all up in yur business like most owners and as long as u not being ignorant. But again, as long as u respect and communicate, they are pretty cool.
Cleaner and closer to more restaurants and stores than Hinesville hotels that charge twice as much. Small town people are so much nicer!
Good honest. Ice machine down right, but all else good.
Actually I was pleased. Royal Inn in Ludowici has really improved. They took that nasty carpet up and have hard wood floors. They painted the rooms and changed out the beds and furniture. It's actually a clean peaceful affordable motel.And guess what I didn't see not one bug.
Wonderful place. Nice people. Great rooms. Gal at the front desk was amazingly friendly.
I wanted to be somewhere that was relaxing, I was having issues with some family members and just needed to get away. I’m glad I chose the Royal Inn it was peaceful. I will definitely visit again. It was close to grocery store and all the convenience stores which was a plus. The staff is nice and my room was very clean and I slept like a baby, it was so relaxing I stayed an extra night.
A great place to end up at! We broke down 2 miles away, ended up at the Royal Inn. I’m not sure what the man at the front desks name was, but he was so incredibly nice. Checked us into a room with our dog no problem around 11 at night. The next day we checked out at 11am but our camper still wasn’t fixed. He was so generous he let us plug in our camper to keep our fridge cold until 7:30 at night. The room was as clean as on older 2 star motel room is gonna get. I’m just so grateful for his help and generosity! Would totally recommend this place to anyone in a jam!
Very nice ppl.Quiet and great location between Hinesville and Jessup Ga.
The manager or owner was a good saved. I was stranded in truck with two dogs and they kindly accoumadated me. I don't think they realize how much they help me.
