Shady staff. Refused to give receipt and charge extra for people in room apparently 2 to a room and 2 beds is still an extra charge. Avoid at all cost. Expedia you should end your relationship with the palms , they are terrible.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Really regret booking this place - we just needed a quick cheap 1 night stay before a flight. It’s was disgusting! Even the stairs outside leading up to the room smelt bad. The room wasn’t properly cleaned, the bedding was either terribly stained or dirty, the bathroom was nasty, we didn’t even want our feet to touch the floor, the room had a terrible musty/moldy smell, the outside of the hotel was not clean either (and not in a good part of town), people were heard all night long right outside our room and within other rooms, it’s was extremely loud and we did not sleep much. I would absolutely never stay here again and wanted to leave a review to help others avoid this place as well!

We booked two rooms for 5 people total—the listing said one bed and one pull-out couch per room. Upon arrival, neither room had a couch. Staff suggested we would be comped for an additional room for the fifth person, but we were charged for it. Bonus: Our room had bloodstains, and our friends’ room had mold. Really would not book here ever again.

The hotel manager tried to scheme an extra $50. Off me. The sheets were dirty and there was sand in between my sheets. Enough that I could physically see and feel it on my body. I had to take a shower immediately! But don’t expect an opinion of having warm water. The choices are either ice cold or scolding hot water…that’s it! The internet doesn’t work either even though they have internet and a password…it just doesn’t work. But you can buy it for extra 7.00 every hr you’re there. This place sucks ass..don’t go. Pay the extra money because it’s worth it not to stay there.

I expected it to be bad for how cheap it was but this was the nastiest room ive ever stayed in. Smelled like mold. Blood stains on sheets. The roof was leaking making the bathroom floor all wet. Nobody in the office either.
