Hotel Royal Orleans 117 (Redington Shores, USA)

At the Royal Orleans, guests wishing to take a dip, even in the cooler months, will be pleasantly surprised as the swimming pool is heated, allowing guests to take advantage of this feature, year round.

The seated deck area has some great furnishings, giving guests a perfect spot to spend their evenings, whiling away poolside if they so wish, in great comfort. There is also plenty of seating to allow guests not to worry about finding a spot.

Everything one may require during their stay is provided for in their rooms, including dishes, cookware and a refrigerator. A grill has even been installed poolside, allowing guests to have an afternoon BBQ, and dine alfresco.

For guests used to softer bedding, the hard mattresses and thin pillows provided at the Royal Orleans may not be all that desirable, or even that comfortable, to them. The harder mattresses are better for posture, but only if one is accustomed to it.

The plumbing in the showers is dated, meaning that guests will be lucky if they are able to get any hot water for their bathing time, and the water pressure is rather pathetic, meaning guests don’t have much to rave about when it comes the showers.

The onsite parking lot is rather small and dark, leading guests to struggle to figure out the lay of the land, and sometimes, even to figure out where the parking lot is.
