“Never Again!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2009

people found this review helpful

The rooms are small, but clean. Okay for a night or two. Very few amenities at this hotel. Strange mix of guests, we didn't want to hang at the pool for sure because of the crowd. So we went to Westgate Lakes Resort and used their facilities for the day-MUCH nicer! We were only at the "palace" for 2 nights thankfully and then moved over to another hotel.

“Affordable & Conveint”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2009

person found this review helpful

I stayed there for about a week in December 2008. The location was pretty conveint seeing as everything you would possibily need is a walk away. My first impression of the hotel is that the outside was welcoming so I could only assume the inside of the room was the same. The room I got was a bit moldy and it looked like no one had stayed in that room for a while but it was workable and you could see that with the right fixtures it could have the possibilty of being a very nice and cozy room. Everything in the room worked fine except the a/c was a bit too cold, so either you kept it on cold or turn it off. Other than that the hotel was very quiet, nobody around really to bother you. I didnt feel quite safe but altogether my stay there was nice.

“The Palace is a nice place to stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2008

The room was very spacious with two queen-size beds, a nice bathroom, a sitting area, a desk, and a balcony. It was also quiet and I did not hear noise from other rooms or the hallway. The internet connection was too high. I recommend the place.

“STAY AWAY”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2005

people found this review helpful

We stayed there for a night and the place was horrible. You can get a better deal anywhere else for the same (or lesser) price. It used to be Howard Johnson, but they have dropped this hotel from their list.

Here's a list of things we found wrong
* Room stinks
* Dirty carpets
* Mold in bathroom
* Dirty tub
* Light doesn't work
* TV remote doesn't work
* No alarm clock in the room
* No heating iron, but there is a ironing board
* No coffee pot
* Smelly bed sheets
* Loose electrical socket (fire hazard??)
* Ice maker in lobby doesn't work
* Was itching in the morning (bed bugs or mosquito?)
** Best of all - the phone in the room had the word "Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort" ... hmmm I wonder if .....

If you think I made up this list, just ask to see a room before you sign up
