Great and cordial staff, super clean, rooms are pretty much noise proofed as you can bearly hear the sounds from the very busy roads outside. Bathroom is really big! Exceeded the expectations. There's not a breakfast like other hotels, its basically some packed snacks and cookies.

My request are always accommodated. I just wish they would let me check-in earlier than 3p like12 noonish/1p. If I'm constantly being an repeated customer. Sometimes I cant wait or dont want to wait for 3p check in and i go to other hotel for 11a check in same price. My repeat customer status, be flexible, with me for an early check-in. Especially if i request a certain room that is available for me to checkin early. Without and early checkin fee. 😊 other than that i been coming on and off for the last 3 to 4 yrs. Never had an issue with any staff members. They are all still the same..

Clean, comfortable, love the bathroom, front desk people were nice. No extra fees on anything . They provide even toothbrushes for each one and makeup remover. They pay attention to every detail of things you will need. They need to be more aware of people smoking “illegal” stuff in front of no smoking rooms and no smoking areas, and cause doors don’t seal completely all my room was full of that smell all night. People inside cars smoking weed and seating on stairs late night make it feel not safe for solo travelers.

Loved the cleanliness and spaciousness of the place. We were brought fresh towels and soap each day. The A/C worked great which was nice with it being hot. Wish there were elevators and wish there was a hot breakfast, but not really a place to have that at this location.

My notes & recommendations: -The breakfast is not continental, it’s mostly snacks (prepackaged muffins, coffee and apples). Please update the description because, though the 24hr snacks was a great touch, we expected a traditional hotel/inn continental breakfast and that was not available. Even the pictures in the listing, the snacks and breakfast are the same—which they shouldn’t be. -The room was a bit humid and though it didn’t smell like marijuana, at times the smell in the room was unpleasant—and it came from outside (through the AC). -I loved that there were toothbrushes as toiletries, adding mini toothpaste would be a nice touch! -The plugs next to the beds wouldn’t charge when the lights were off… not sure if that was our room only or maybe a larger issue. -Appreciated the bilingual staff!

The room i had was fully renovated and was roomy & comfortable. I received excellent service by everyone i had contact with. Outstanding for the price. From the outside it doesn't look very appealing but the room was so well finished. The area is a little dodgy, but I had no problems during my stay.

This is a newer motel. Rooms are big, spacious and modern, Decor is pretty new. Rooms are cleaned daily. It is near a major highway, so it is easy to get around Houston. The price is, IMO, appropriate for this type of property

I usually stay at the Hilton but the rooms and facilities are better at The Palace. Even though it’s not in an ideal neighborhood, I felt safe. The hotel is also right next door to several good restaurants, a planet fitness and Specs. And you can’t beat the price.

Rooms are clean and roomy. It's a bit noisy but what can you expect?? it's right next to a six lane highway!! Front desk is friendly. there's coffee and snackcavailable 24/7. High utility to value ratio. I have paid 3 times this much for less comfort.

This place is absolutely a hidden gem of Houston. The staff were friendly, and the room was in brand-new condition. I go to Houston a lot, so I have stayed at different hotels in the area. They used to have a unique “smell” which most of the time made me feel uncomfortable, but this Palace Inn wasn’t like that. Definitely will come back.

There was noise from the highway, noise from the parking lot, noise from the neighbors. However there was a wedding party that had booked most of the rooms and the staff notified us that there are normally rooms that are shielded from the highway noise that were booked at the time. If you are a heavy sleeper, this may not be an issue, but it was a problem for us. However, the rooms were immaculate, the refurbishing work was very well done, and the staff is friendly, attentive, professional. In fact, one of the better staffs I have had at any hotel. They listened and were as responsive as they could be, they were friendly and nice to talk to. They even assisted me getting a refund since I had to check out for reasons beyond my own control (I couldn't sleep...). I would give the staff 15 out of 10 if I could. Simply excellent. There is a variety of food within walking distance as well. And it is location next to 59, so you can get wherever you need as fast as Houston traffic will allow. The noise is the *only* reason I can't give more stars and honestly I wish I could.

Unlimited amount of channels including but not limited to HBO ! I was amazed by how spacious the bathrooms were, the toilet had its own door to separate it from the rest of the bathroom( might just be the double bed room feature ). Everything looked new. They even had toothbrushes with floss(it's the little things for me lol) Only only negative is me and my cousin came from Florida for a girl's trippp and we both had heavy suitcases and they didn't have an elevator. Thank God there was a gentleman who carried each of our suitcases one by one up those stairs!! Even then we were nervous for him and worried about when we had to bring those puppies back down when its time to leave smh. Please please install an elevator

Room Was clean. The receptionist that checked up us in 3/15/23 was very nice and pleasant. We booked a double queen bed suite for 6 and it fit all of us nicely and had a pull out couch. My biggest complaint is that we only had 2 towels in our room. We asked for them at night and were told we could not get any until morning time on 3/16. On 3/16 we asked for towels and were once again told we couldn't have any because they had to be washed. We didn't get any towels until that afternoon. And even when we asked them not to take our 2 towels (that came with the room originally) we had left our room and housekeeping came in and took the 2 towels we had hung up to dry, after we had already refused housekeeping, and they left us no towels and we went and asked for some once again and finally received them. Other than our towel issues our stay was pleasant.

It looks like a typical Inn from outside but the rooms are better than most big hotels out there. The room and environment was clean and housekeeping cleaned our room before we got back everyday. They also had coffee, beverages and snacks available all day. Other than the occasional traffic noise some nights, We had a wonderful stay.

This place was extremely clean, nice and new. Very comfortable and quiet. No safety issues. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place as a safe and nice place to stay. Will definitely stay here again. The breakfast was just juice and pastries, but it was ok, as long as the place was safe.
