text: First off, I'm not sure why this place is getting so many bad reviews. (I booked this reservation online and gave my last name, credit card, and driver's license when checking in)\n\nRoyal Resort is located on Convention Center Drive which is across the street from Circus Circus and under the shadow of the Encore Tower. With a location like this, you will probably be driving to get to where you need to go on the Strip.\n\nWhile Royal Resort will provide you with a parking permit, the parking behind the back of the hotel is very plentiful even during nighttime hours, a plus.\n\nI'm not sure what people are saying when they say it's noisy. I could not hear any of the noise from the outside, but the AC was sort of loud, but it didn't bother me. Better to stay cool than roast from the Vegas heat. Then again I was located on the 7th floor but near the elevator. I could hear some commotion as people opened and closed their doors but other than that the room itself was fairly quiet.\n\nFor me, I was able to get LTE/4G on my iPhone 5 so there was no need to pay for $10 WiFi. If you need internet that badly and don't want to pay the $10 go to a Starbucks.\n\nDepending on your room (1 bed rooms have a microwave, fridge, and pull-out bed, and 2 bed rooms only have a fridge), the accommodations were sufficient given the price and location.\n\nThe hotel itself is clean, and the staff (at least for me) were friendly. Housekeeping service did knock on our doors at around 9 AM the next morning as we did not have a sign out. They were happy to provide us with extra towels.\n\nThe staff working the Reception were friendly and accommodating when I wanted a 2 bed room and not a 1 bed room. They were quick to make the adjustments and didn't give me any flak for it. All I had to do was return the old room keys and that was that.\n\nRoyal Resort is a great choice if you want a no-frills cheap option to stay in Vegas. It has no Casino and a definite lack of nearby food options, but that's what your car or taxi man/woman is for.
