I have stayed in many hotels with higher star ratings in many parts of the world over my 68 years. While my stays at the Royal Inn have always been pleasant, this recent stay was exceptional. After completing my check-in, the desk clerk kindly reminded me that they offered a complimentary breakfast. I was looking forward to a post-covid era hotel breakfast and so I awoke early from a good night's rest and headed down to the lobby. I experienced a breakfast that far exceeded my expectations. As i entered the dining area I was met with a warm and delightful greeting from the hostess. The fare consisted not only of the usual packaged foods and fruits but also freshly prepared hot pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausage and potatoes that were as good, if not better than that of a fine restaurant. The hostess kept the serving area clean and the serving trays replenished while also assisting guests in the preparation of their waffles and offering to remove empty plates. She did all of this with smiles and friendly banter that left me feeling like a welcome guest in her home. It appeared she had this same affect on each guest. While I ate the room filled with people who were soon smiling and joining in the conversation and the laughter that this hostess engendered. I overheard a guest on her cell phone urging her husband to come down to the lobby adding, "You can't believe the breakfast down here." So, I hope that you will get to experience an "Elies breakfast" when you stay here, but I would not be surprised if Best Western or another company soon snaches her away to a more prominent position. Nevertheless, when you stay here you can count on considerate staff as well as a clean and pleasant room at a good value, but if Elies is still there it will be a stay of exceptional value.
