Food and Drink Options

While the Royal Windsor Motel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, each room includes a microwave and fridge, letting you prep your own late-night snacks. There are vending machines on site, and several fast-food and diner-style spots are walkable or a short drive away. Keep in mind—there’s no room service or breakfast included, so plan accordingly after a night out.

Nightlife Options

Though the motel itself is quiet, you’re not far from Windsor’s buzzing bar scene. Downtown clubs, lounges, and live music joints are just a few minutes away by car. Prefer something low-key? Pack a few drinks and unwind at the motel’s outdoor BBQ area.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean rooms, affordable pricing, and easy access to Detroit and Windsor venues. Many mention the motel staff is friendly and helpful, especially during late-night check-ins. It’s not fancy, but it’s reliable and gets the job done.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor feels dated and that the property could use a refresh. There’s no on-site breakfast, and the motel is best suited for those with a vehicle, as public transit access is limited. But if you’re focused on the show and just need a solid sleep, it’s a great fit.
