For me, it's worth the extra 20-30% to have the transportation included, and to stay somewhere with a unique design and sprawling grounds I also think that this hotel might be a little too clever for its own good. Having the rooms categorized as Chic, Captivating, and Stunning does nothing for me, and overall it just seems like they're trying too hard. I'm hardly a good measure of what the general public will like, but the description so far leaves me nonplussed

The most recent Yelp/Trip Advisor review was from mid-December, so I would assume that it's currently closed for the makeover; it sounded like it wasn't aging particularly well, so it makes sense that they went with a big redo Interestingly, when you do a Google News search for the Royal Plaza, it returns this LP article, despite there being no mention of it by name!
