I always enjoy staying at Palm Royal Motel, and this visit was no exception. I was especially grateful to have a ground floor room, as elevators feel very confined for me and affect my breathing—so this made a big difference to my comfort.

Staff were great! Very clean room and hotel. Looks exactly like the photos which is always good. The pool was lovely and has good opening hours - so nice to have it open into the late evening for a swim after a hot day. Room was lovely and has everything you need including a balcony. Not too far a distance from lots of the main attractions!

The room was very clean and smelled beautiful. I enjoy staying here.
The lift was quite warm during my stay. As someone with chronic asthma, being in a hot, enclosed space made me feel a little short of breath going up to level 3. It would be helpful if the temperature or ventilation in the lift could be improved for guest comfort. This will not stop me from staying here.

The room was clean and the staff were friendly but the elevator did not smell good and this is the best way to access the 3rd floor. Traffic noise is also intrusive at times.
