Royal Beach Palace

It was okay. We were there for one night, and immediately found it hard to pull into and park at the hotel. Most of the hotel is what I would consider a motel.

First this hotel is located in Lauderdale by the Sea versus Ft Lauderdale as the address indicates. This is impt if you want to stay in Ft Lauderdale as was the intended location of our trip. Also no need to pay extra for the slight ocean view as you will be on the Ocean blvd which can be loud with traffic. And speaking of noise - the walls are very thin. We could hear children screaming and constant playing of loud video games in one room during early morning and late night on one side and a couple arguing on the other side. The noise level could be quite disturbing so be aware if you prefer peace and quiet. Beach access is more like a 10 minute walk down the street from the hotel. On the positive side the hotel is near a CVS and Winn Dixie so you can walk to get groceries or snacks as the restaurant was closed during this time of Covid-19. Also the bus stop is nearby for easy travel. Parking is free and staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The towels for the room are rather old and worn but towels for pool and beach are nicer. We didn’t have room service due to Covid but staff would come to our room to collect trash and bring fresh towels. For the room rate, customer service, room with frig and microwave I would stay again but not for the thin walls and distance from more popular FT Lauderdale beach access. Worth stating again the staff is outstanding!!

There was no hot water, so you’d be taking a freezing shower everyday. And there was sand all over the carpets

Extremely friendly staff. The room was very clean. Excellent service upon check in and departure. I had breakfast in the restaurant ( excellent and friendly staff as well as management). Walls are thin and noise levels from other guests and traffic outside your door is difficult.

Overall the room and service was great! Only bad thing is the pool doesn’t close so people were out and extra loud til 3am, and we were not able to sleep.

This hotel was subpar at best. Horrible parking situation, the pools “close” at dusk. Our first night we were in the pool at 1 am and was never spoken to about it. Night two we got in the pool around 8:30, other people were also in the pool and only got out because it began to rain. We were approached by a worker who claimed the pool was closed because it was dark. Our last night we were also told to get out of the pool past dark, but we didn’t listen because there were a ton of us swimming. I would not stay again.

Not what I expected to much of a deposit or I would have stayed longer Blood on my sheets when I checked in

Giving it one star because that is the lowest. This is a motel. The pictures online are extremely misleading. The rates I paid to sleep in a motel is mindboggling. The sheets on the bed were dirty, the lamp looked like it fought in the war. The air conditioning was so loud as a light sleeper it kept me up all night. The pillows were so uncomfortable and flat as if they found it last minute and threw it on the bed for me. The water was Brown in the shower. Just heartbreaking after viewing the pictures online. When I arrived there wasn't anywhere to park, Florida is known for endless parking lots and the place I picked to sleep couldn't accommodate my car. I would never ever even drive by this place again. Such a disappointment. I did reach out to the front desk and they were completely sold out. The following day I got another room which was cleaner and bigger, pillows still uncomfortable, no Jacuzzi tub. There are no hours for the pool so we had to deal with some people being a bit loud late at night. I just really regret the money spent to stay here. I forgot to take a picture of the entire room I was just so sad and wanted to get out of there.

The room was pretty clean. However, you could clearly hear anything outside the room, so not as private as I would've liked. Also, when running the water in the jacuzzi it turned yellow. There was a sign the sound the are some type of chemicals that causes it to turn colors. Very weird and disappointing.

The outside of the hotel doesn't look all that great. The room was ok. The sink in the bathroom took forever to drain out just from washing your hands. The room was big and the sheets were clean
