Overall Ratings & Reviews Rodd Royalty

We loved our stay and will likely return.

Thirty years ago this was a nice place. The hotel is starting to show its age. The furniture and the drapery in the room needed updating. The mattress on one of our beds was also old. Parking is somewhat difficult here.

Rodd Royalty was overall, underwhelming. The Good: 1) The pool was great with lots of seating, towels, change room/washroom and shower as well as nice temp water and the slide was a lot of fun! 2) The kids’ game room was a nice surprise, though my kids didn’t use it. They have foosball, Nintendo switch and several games to choose from. 3) Staff and Room Cleanliness - these were definitely positives. 4) Wifi! A major plus for my gaming obsessed kids. The Cons: 1) The room was smallish and the computer desk encroached into the closet area that lead to the bathroom. It was a bit tight to manoeuvre through when my son was on his laptop at the desk. 2) Though advertised as a hotel, the section we stayed in was accessible by stairs only (not a big issue and we were aware upon reservation). It was apparent that our area was once a separate (motel) building with additions to add it to the main hotel. The carpets here were dingy and the light in the hallway was bright. The room had windows that faced the hall - but the curtains were inadequate to block the light at night. This seemed to be the ugly step-sister of the hotel… and for $350 for one night (Sunday), we expected more. I don’t feel like any photos accurately showed our area of the room/hotel. 3) Restaurant/Bar was closed Sunday when we wanted takeout but did have a complimentary breakfast in the morning which was decent. Nothing remarkable really, but definitely one of the better free ones we’ve had.

Was probably a great place at some point. It’s very expensive considering the outdated and unclean common areas. Our bed sheets had multiple stains and dirty and ripped carpet. WiFi is terrible and staff not courteous. Pick another hotel - very dissatisfied.

They do have a nice indoor pool and helpfull staff. However, I didn't found the room welcoming with the dark features ,window obstructed and the low quality amenities. Found a wood insect in the drawer, usually from humidity and old wood materials

There were 7 of us staying in the family room (number of guests were provided at the time of booking). The hotel only provided one tiny bottle of shampoo/conditioner for our entire group each day, which was not enough at all. The air conditioning was old and loud, and keeps turning off on its own. Maybe booking two separate rooms would be a better idea. At least we wouldn’t have to rush and wait in line to use the only bathroom.

Very quiet, but very dated and didnt look like it had been updated in quite sometime. The area our room was didnt have elevator access and was on the 2nd floor and seemed to be in an older part. We had to walk quite a distance, go up a creepy separate flight of stairs, through another section up a few stairs to our room. Wouldnt stay there again.

The property was fine but the internal appearance and furniture appears to be from the 1980-1990s, and not reflective of the class rating or what its competitors are offering, for the equivalent price. Effectively it’s not over rated. Breakfast was unacceptable; stale food and unhealthy. Limited choices. Coffee was not good; poorly brewed filter coffee. No espresso or high quality offer options. Better value to go to Tim’s, Starbucks, etc.

Staff was amazing

Great property with a lovely breakfast option!

Expensive for the type of room we got, but it was convenient for a one night stay in a good area close from downtown

Sports team’s noise. Kids unsupervised.

We had a nice vacation here overall but the Hotel condition was poor. We had to haul our own luggage up the stairs because there was no elevator. This hotel needs upgrades. The breakfast was OK.

Great spot to stay

Not as advertised. Outdated room, beds were not queen size, no air conditioning, no explanation. Not worth what was paid.

Staff were really nice they had a nice slide and pool that have a good gym for a hotel (more than just a 20 pound dumbbell) so that was very nice that you can actually work out and the breakfast was really good with options overall I’d recommend staying here to people.

Overnight on a motorcycle trip. Pool is sauna / hot tub temperature, with a crazy water slide!

This property is very basic. I want to point out some things that aren't really a huge deal, but when putting them together can be an issue for people and it's something to be aware of. The hotel appears to be split into two different parts. If you are in the second part, there is no elevator and you have to carry your suitcases up stairs. In this area as well (and possible the rest of the hotel I don't really know) the main window for the room faces the hallway? So we had to keep the curtains closed the entire time so people weren't looking in or us seeing them walk by, and the room was very dark otherwise. Was also very small, and outdated and there was a bit of a musty smell. One of the beds was also terrible, I think it was broken as the other bed was firm, and ours was very sinky (our child was in the other bed so we couldn't use it) Breakfast was ok, lots of variety but taste was meh but it was included so that's a plus. Parking was included which is good, and overall things were clean so despite it sounding like I'm complaining, it's fine for what it was but just be aware if you are looking for higher end as this is not.

Everything was fine.... but they don't have service room

Sufficiently equipped room with mini fridge and microwave. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Very helpful housekeeping staff. Front desk night staff could be more knowledgeable. Could use a mirror or 2 in the bedroom (washroom had the only mirror). Upgraded and larger TV needed and upgraded cable service or satellite. Although rooms seemed to be updated recently, property was run down. Standard breakfast with eggs, sausages, potatoes, fruit, yogurt, bagels, bread, juices.
