Amenities, Done Right

No fluff. No fees. Just better everything.

Local Crew, Real Hospitality

Our team isn’t a rotating cast of corporate scripts — they’re Royal Oak locals who know the scene, know the shortcuts, and actually care that you’re having a great stay. Guests shout them out nonstop for being genuinely friendly, fast, and always a step ahead. tripadvisor.in+1

Need a dinner rec, a bike to cruise downtown, an extra hand, or just a good vibe at check-in? They’ve got you. It’s the kind of hospitality big chain hotels can’t fake — and once you get treated like a regular instead of a room number, you’ll never want to go back.

Wi-Fi That Actually Rips (Free)

Complimentary and seriously high-powered, our industrial-strength Wi-Fi runs at ~300 Mbps in every room—made for 4K streaming, gaming, and flawless Zooms. With a dedicated WAP in each room, you’ve got your own private fast lane while corporate hotel chain Wi-Fi is still spinning a loading wheel… and asking you to pay extra for “premium” speeds that can’t touch what you get here on the house.

Fresh Vibes, Smoke-Free, Vape Friendly

Fresh air is the baseline here. Hotel Royal Oak is 100% smoke-free across the whole property, so your room, your clothes, and every hangout spot stay crisp and clean — no stale hallway funk, no “why does this place smell like a casino?” vibes. Once you’ve stayed somewhere that actually feels fresh, big chain hotels with that old-smoke ghost don’t hit the same.

We’re serious about it, too: every room has a combustible smoking monitoring device, and if you smoke in your room, we know. It’s a steep fine and an immediate checkout. That said, within the rules for alcohol service areas, you’re welcome to vape campus-wide.

Your Vibe, Your Drink, Your Spot

We keep it award-winning, locally sourced and guest-approved: Craft cocktails built with local distillers, a beer list stacked with nearby brewery favorites, classics on request, and seasonal specials worthy of your Instagram. So, sip an infused coffee by the fire, grab a fresh local brew as you run the pool table and clink glasses with your crew — and if you’re hosting an event, we’ll build a ridiculously delicious drink menu for you and your guests.

At Hotel Royal Oak, the vibe moves with you — and so do the drinks, same price campus-wide. Scan the nearest QR code and order cocktails, beer, or wine to the West, Center, or Vibe Fire Patio, Vibe Pavilion, Vinyl Room, Bridge Billiards Lounge, Hi-Fi Lobby Lounge, your room patio, or straight to your room.

Because let’s be real: Chain hotels serve safe, copy-paste pours—no seasonality, no surprise, no soul with a room-service/mini-bar markup that feels like a prank. We’d rather bring you legit local pours, seasonal craft cocktails and local brews, wherever you’re hanging, for the same reasonable price.

Brewed Fresh, Served Everywhere

Find your new favorite sip at the Hi-Fi Lobby Lounge—fresh-brewed coffee, barista-style cappuccinos and espresso, plus silky rich hot chocolate that hits the spot. Want it in your room or anywhere on campus? Scan the QR code wherever you are and we’ll bring the comfort right to you.

We don’t mess with the big-chain pod playbook—stale, foil-sealed “coffee” that tastes like it’s been waiting in a drawer since last season. During breakfast hours, it’s complimentary fresh-ground, freshly brewed coffee on the house, and once you’ve had it this way, the chain-hotel stuff feels like a rough draft.

Park for Free. Enjoy More.

Parking here is on the house — no surprise $15-a-night grab like big chain hotels love to pull. Leave the car, you won’t need it: We’re an easy, super walkable hop to downtown Royal Oak, with bikes ready when you feel like rolling in. Plus, downtown Detroit is just a 15-minute Uber or Lyft away, so you can skip the pricey city parking there (and in Royal Oak) and keep that cash for the fun stuff.

Skip the Desk, Hit the Vibe

Skip the front-desk shuffle — check in on your phone and head straight to your room with keyless entry. No corporate-hotel lines, no plastic keys, no “we’ll have it ready in a few minutes” routine. And since your key lives in your phone, you can’t lose it in a parking lot or demagnetize it on day one.

Traveling with your crew? Share your digital key right in the app — drop in their phone number and they’re in. Plus, your key doubles as VIP access at our partner spots in downtown Royal Oak, so you can roll in, dine, and party like a local VIP while big chains are still handing out keycards.

Apple TV + Game-Day Everywhere

We’re big on sports here, so when games are on, they’re on: Indoor and outdoor screens light up at the North Fire Patio, Hi-Fi Lounge, Vibe Pavilion, and Vinyl Lounge — grab a drink, find your crew, and catch every moment with real game-day energy. Want your own private watch party? Every room has hospitality Apple TV and brand-new giant flat screens across the property, so you can kick back in full cinematic comfort.

Your in-room Apple TV is loaded with a solid base of infotainment — local and national news, plus a bunch of fun channels like Tubi and Pluto — and you can screen-share anything from your phone or tablet straight to the TV. Craving your own shows? Just scan the QR code on the TV to log into Netflix, Disney+, and more.

And unlike big chain hotels still clinging to lame cable, this is your content, your way — and when you check out, the TV automatically wipes your info and reboots, so nothing sticks around but the good memories.
