I like the location of this Palace Inn on Jones near 290. Very well taken care of location. Not lots of traffic and peaceful area. I got donuts for breakfast at Shipley’s next door and got coffee from the gas station. I would recommend this location.

New building. Comfortable beds. Clean room. Large TV with with Direct TV. Refrigerator, microwave. Mouthwash, toothbrush, soap, shampoo. We could have used more towels, but we didn't ask for more. They were not supposed to have breakfast, but they tried a tiny bit. One pot of coffee. A couple sweet rolls. Apples. The dining area has two chairs. I liked them trying to change, but they aren't there yet. It seemed that they need more soundproofing. Noise from the floor above us.

For one, I didn't like the bland feel of the main room. For some reason, the main room just felt a little bland, like something was missing to make it pop. The TV wasn't really good quality, then again I suppose I can't expect a QLED or OLED TV in a cheaper hotel, but I digress. I also felt the bed was a little stiff, not to bad for me but may be a problem for others.

Review of Palace Inn Reviewed yesterday A quality place to stay and the front desk Vic was accommodating in all ways .I would recommend this place with a 5 STAR review fromin staffing to cleanliness to accessibility at Palace Inn on 290 and Jones. Date of stay: September 2025 Trip type:

Location ..able to walk to anyplace I have desired,from grocery stores to shopping strips to parks and library. The place is kept clean,the room as well as the grounds. It's quiet and being a female,a safe and secure feeling to stay . Front desk Vic is always with a smile and accommodating anytime a request is asked of him. Will definitely come back for a stay

The property is in an excellent location and very accessible to many ventures..I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the front desk personell Victor for once again being sympathetic to adverse actions that occurred and the willingness to work with me on my resolution..it made everything more comfortable for me and put my mind at ease..always a clean room for the last few days and the quiet and comfort were a God send..I would recommend this place to everyone.

The owner of the hotel was very kind and accomodating! Online, it said they served breakfast, but when I got there, I was told they didn't. That was a little disappointing, but the owner saw that I was disappointed and went out of his way to go get the little packages of donuts and pastries for me the next morning!! Super thoughtful! Room was pretty clean and comfy! Definitely recommend staying there!

The A/C in the room didn't cool very well and it felt humid in there the whole night. There were holes in the bedspread and a long hair in the sink. I won't stay here again.

This location is very centrally located for the type of errands I needed to make during my time at Palace Inn. I also loved the cleanliness that you don’t find at most motels. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. I stayed for about a month and it was relatively quiet. No sketchy people hanging around which was a plus for someone who is a single woman. The front desk manager was very accommodating also regarding all of my needs. A very nice and pleasant stay overall. I will return in the future.

I got a non smoking room but it still smell like smoke to the point you can feel the itch on your throat i advised them of my boys having asthma and that I couldn’t stay there they didn’t want to reimburse they just said i can get change to another room but the new room still had the stink but not as much as the first one. The service is okay not bad and there’s no breakfast how they say it’s just coffee, fruit and granola bars

There are a lot of options for eating to include a food truck park next door. It was super convenient that there is a gas station next door as well with 24/7 access. The rooms were clean and the staff was very helpful. If we ever come back to Houston, we will stay at this property. No doubt about it.

This was a last minute stay in Houston for my last night. It was located somewhere different than I actually had thoughts on the map but was worth a 20 minute drive away. It was clean. Staff was readily there to assist easy parking unit just as I requested very, very clean and upgraded, I will be returning anytime. I’m in Houston. It was very satisfying to stay in a clean place for the night. The only thing was the bed I was sleeping in I believe the platform the mattress was on was loose otherwise very good stay.

The night manager was rude. She had such a thick accent that made it very hard to understand her questions. When stated "i don't understand you and your question ", she would ask the same question faster and in a louder voice. They also did not have any hand towels to use. At least I had a wash cloth and a bath towel. The year before when I stayed at this same hotel, it was a much better experience.

When I checked in and after I paid, they refused to give me a receipt. Then I went into the room and found out that the bed sheet was not clean. It had multiple stains and hair on it. The bed cover had holes in it. The floor, the microwave, the fridge were all dirty. There was no hanger in the room. When I called them, they came and replaced the bed sheet, but no apologies. I felt that they had left the bed sheet to see if the next customer complains or not. If they do, they come and change it. Breakfast had very limited options. At the time of check out, I said that the room was dirty and that was the first time someone apologized. All in all, it might be OK for one night but definitely check the bed sheet.

I stayed at another Palace Inn with very professional staff and clean rooms, so I assumed the same would be true here. No. We requested another room since our first looked like a fight scene, and staff moved us to a second room that was still not cleaned properly. Hole in bathroom door, makeup and hair on towels, grease on bed board, makeup smudged on door, stained sheets and mattress, etc. Staff was only worried about denying me a refund and telling me not to book through Hotels.com again. Luckily, through Hotels.com I was givenOneKeyCash to book somewhere else.

The manager, Vic, is the type I would have as a friend if circumstances were different & I didn't meet him as a customer. This hotel seems to have things together. I know other hotels of very equivalent prices without even a washer & dryer. I happy to have this hotel as a go-back-to place to enjoy peace & accommodation.

The office lady was so unprofesional without any smile. We booked 2 queen bed room. She first gave us a 1 queen bed room, we had to move our luggages to another room. Then she said this is a wrong room with the suite and we had to move our luggages to the third room. The third room key didn't work. I went to the office to see what the issue was. She was so mad that she toss it back to me. Never seen this kind of front desk people like her and she will make this hotel closed out.
