Royal Inn

Natalie Bonacci

After our long travels we exhaustedly pulled into the Royal Inn looking for a place to rest our weary selves. We opened the door to discover a dank smell. Creeping over to the bed I asked my boyfriend what was laying there. He gingerly lifted the bottle to discover a small pill container of weed. We were scared to take off our shoes due to the sticky nature of the carpet. We contemplated sleeping standing up, but we were terrified of sticking to the wood on the walls. We thought of spreading our clothes down on the bed to sleep atop the fabric, but my boyfriend turned shaking his hand in my face telling me not to let my clothes touch anything in the room. We then turned to the colorful walls painted with only what our imagination can guess to be bodily fluids, and smashed bugs. Before deciding whether to flee, cry, or laugh we saw movement out of the corner of our eye out coming down the mirror. The roach stared at us, we stared at him. We then ran over to grab our belongings with our feet moving in Flintstone style and escaped out the door to finish our drive home. Although this was a horrendous experience the front desk lady was kind, and had snacks for sale. The bathroom was spic and span, although there was a funky Oder coming from the drains, from what my boyfriend told me, as I was to nervous to go 2 feet past the doorway. The mini fridge was also clean, and the bed was made with two pillows which looked like fungus. I highly recommend a visit if you want a fantastic story to share with your peers and family,

Had a friend spend a week there, said rooms were fair and people were friendly. Two seventy five a week was more than reasonable.

Cheap, hotel poor maintained rooms with the bugs to prove it.. Not to say the shady residents there due to they also rent buy the week. ( Keep your cars locked up and your pistol on you at all times)

It was nasty the room stunk. I walked barefooted across the floor of the room and the bottom of my feet turned black. Slept on top of the bed covers fully clothed. If you are ever traveling on interstate 81 near marion va keep going do not stop there.
