Vacations Close To Buccaneer State Park

All the staff were amazing. The hotel it's self was not bad, in a good location but older and could use updates. The room had a musty mildrew smell. Not bad for stay. One night for stay.

I first discovered Hotel Royal on social media when someone shared a post about its beautiful courtyard, where scenes from The Originals were filmed. When my husband and I began planning our New Orleans elopement, we knew we wanted something different from a traditional chain hotel. We were looking for a boutique experience with character, charm, and a balcony overlooking the French Quarter. Hotel Royal seemed to offer exactly that. I’ll admit that after booking, I became a little apprehensive after reading a few less-than-favorable reviews. However, those concerns disappeared once we arrived! From the moment we checked in, we were greeted warmly, given helpful instructions for accessing our room and parking, and treated wonderfully by the staff throughout our three-night stay. We had a concern with one of the chairs on our balcony, and the issue was resolved. The gentleman from maintenance who assisted us was especially helpful, offering recommendations for restaurants, entertainment, and places to catch the city’s famous second lines. His hospitality was genuinely appreciated! One of the highlights of our stay was simply spending time on our balcony. We were fortunate enough to see several parades and second lines pass by without ever leaving our room! It was such a fun and memorable part of our wedding and honeymoon experience. The location is a huge plus. We were within walking distance of everything we wanted to get to. We are already planning our trip back.
