Cute but bring your pilliw
The front desk staff was great. The room was cute. I really liked the vibe. Bed was relatively comfortable but the pillows were unbearable. Lots of trouble checking in bc Expedia doesn’t sync w their system very well. I think this is an Expedia problem. I would stay there again but would recommend booking directly & bringing your pillow.

Marty Cardamone was so helpful
Check in was a snap. The guy at reception Marty Cardamone was so helpful at night with recommendations for dining, etc. Then he was there in the morning for breakfast and so cheerful. I'd go back just to chat with him. I liked his professionalism and positive attitude. He really left me in a wonderful mood for my day of driving. Great.

Great choice for enjoying Royal Oak
We really like staying at Hotel Royal Oak when we go to see bands in Royal Oak or Ferndale (short walk or rideshare). It is funky, fun and the staff are super nice. The breakfast next door is a nice touch. Recoommend!
