“Cramped, loud, but better than we expected.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2007

Well, there is a lot that can be said about this place. It was actually nothing we expected. After not being able to find a room anywhere else, that was atleast halfway decent. We decided to give it a shot.

Other reviews I have read left me expecting some very odd hotel, that was seedy and dirty. It was neither. You check in, get your key, just like anywhere else. Proceed to whichever room you decided upon. There are theme rooms, as well as regular rooms. Photos of each themed room are displayed right next to the front desk. Yes, the rumors are true, they have a bed shaped like a sandwich. Complete with lettuce and tomatoes and all. It was actually quite amusing, and the man at the front desk said it was popular amongst the guests.

We decided upon the jacuzzi room. Upon locating it, after much confusion (there was loud music blaring from inside the room, wich lead us to believe the previous tenants were still there), the clerk assured us that our room was indeed checked out to us and us only.

We opened the door, and were awash in amazment. this was the most ghetto fabulous room I had ever seen. For Christ's sake, there was a CAR STEREO mounted in the bed's headboard!!! From the green marble veneers(sp?) to the pink jacuzzi, which was clean, very clean, in fact, it was cleaner than expected. We were amazed! It was nothing like we expected, it was actually better than we had expected! I was half hoping a normal hotel room, and half dreading a sleazy hotel room complete with stained sheets and dirty floors. Surprisingly enough, it was neither.

I would definetly like to say, if you are not high class enough (or wealthy enough), as I am, for a place like the Holiday Inn, or the Ramada, or Hilton, then this is the place. The parking lot may be a little cramped, but, the rooms are clean, and private. Te atmosphere is a little odd, but you get used to it. And, last but not least, if you are bored, there are plenty of "Movie" channels to view.....

  • Liked — The jacuzzi.
  • Disliked — The cramped room & parking.

“Loved the Sticky Decor”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2006

To anyone who hasn't stayed in an hourly hotel, this is the answer. The pink palace has no reservations about letting you know just what you are there for. While you may be ill if you viewed the room with a neon light, you'll forget all that when you get down to business.

This is genuinely a place where you don't want to sit on the comforter, but the view of the parking lot and double-dead bolts on your rooms, will have you forgetting all that.

Excellent experience. I'd go back every day if I could find the company.

“Da Bomb”

We went there on a whim, not expecting much. But to our surprise it was FABULOUS. We started out in the SPACE SHUTTLE and are worked our way around. We liked the space shuttle the best.

“The Space Shuttle Room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2003
15
people found this review helpful

The Pink Palace was just like nothing I'd ever seen before. The only room left available was the "Space-Shuttle" room. I expected the pictures of planets on the walls, however, I did not expect to spend the night in their version of an actual "space shuttle". It had lights on the sides and a spinning red light on top. The top of the inside mirrored the circular water bed below. There were "moon-rocks" and other "space" paraphanelia. It wasn't that bad-my biggest complaint is that there was no door on the washroom. You simply go right there out in the open. Other than that it completely terrible...it was...an experience.
