    it's close to the freeway so the noise can get a bit much late at night but not overwhelmingly so

    Honestly I wasn’t expecting much from this place but it blew me away with the renovations. For what they charge, the room easily could have been a 4star hotel. Staff was amazing, helpful and polite. I’m not sure about the chain, but THIS location is top tier! I’d definitely stay there again!

    The room was clean and ample. The bed was fine. Bathroom area was large worth the restroom having a separate closed area. Shampoo, bath gel, body lotion, mouth wash, make up remover and toothbrushes available. 4 large towels plus hand towels. Microwave and fridge. AC was cool. Some traffic noise but does not disturb sleep. Clerk was very nice and I got an early check in.

    The property was clean and maintained well. The only issue is its proximity to the service road and highway make it a bit hard to sleep. Bring earplugs.

    It was super clean and had extra of everything. I’ve been to a couple hotels and none have had extra toothbrushes in the restroom. Maybe it’s just me but I think for the price and what they offer it’s nice.

    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..

    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!

    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.

    If you like being woken up or while you're taking a shower great place. First room was hot as hell second room was okay but I got rushed out and forgot some of my stuff, as hey why let someone have any time to take a shower and get going right. Maid walked in while I was taking a shower awesome right

    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.
