Royal Inn

It’s clean, a great value, and I’d stay again if I came back to LA. Check-in and checkout were quick and easy, and the front desk staffing made it look like a family-run business. It isn’t fancy, and the decor is a mismatched mix of 80s and 90s styles, but everything was clean apart from a little dust on the floors. The blankets were thin, though fine for the weather. Our room had a decent-sized TV with lots of channels, a large mini fridge and a microwave. Everything worked and smelled normal. For the price, it’s pretty great.

Nick, the owner, was so kind. We needed bowls for our soup at dinner, and he gave us some disposable ones when we asked at the desk. He clearly takes good care of the motel too. Our room was large and clean, with hardwood floors, and it didn’t have the dingy, dirty feel of other motels. The night was quiet, with no commotion, and we slept really well. One of the better little motels around. We were happy with our stay and would recommend it and come back.

The room was spacious, recently updated and very clean, with a working, clean fridge and microwave. We were surprised by how comfortable the beds were. This little place is a real hidden gem in Lomita. The missing star comes down to the towels and toiletries: there were just two very small, scratchy towels, almost hand towel size, which aren’t enough to dry an adult, and the shampoo and conditioner packets were tiny, about the size of wet wipes. It’s a good cheap overnight option, as long as you’re not expecting the Ritz Carlton.

The room was spotless and quiet, and the staff were courteous. The rate was reasonable for the area, and there was a microwave and fridge. Solid window louvers kept daylight out, which was great for sleeping in or during the day. The only drawback was the daycare next door, where the kids could get pretty loud sometimes. I’d be glad to book here again.
