This place. Whew! Overall: still a good value.
It’s nice to stay at Palms because it’s a little slower than the strip. This unit should not define one’s opinion of the Palms, tho. Either some weeks of fear and loathing were going on; or a few major ragers, or both.
Good: large space. Balconies. Furniture on balconies. 1.5 baths. Views. Price. All 3 TVs do work. Deep bathtub. In room laundry.
Bad: Many recessed lights burnt out, possibly as many as 10 including shower. Two contemporary lamps trashed beyond repair but sadly left standing. Lamp in bedroom trashed but working. Lamp on desk missing a lightbulb, lamp on wall is broke and dangling, but lights up. That’s okay if you don’t want to see, tho, cuz the carpet is traphouse. I was nauseated to see the living room carpet in the daylight, I had my bare feet on it the night before. Dark stains, light stains, burns.
There is a cigarette butt hanging upside down out of the fireplace, I left it stay there, I guess it lives there like a bat. There is a dark brown “tootsie roll” appearing object frozen in the ice sheets of the dirty freezer. Bought a pan and spatula for the place, tried washing dishes but hot water came spraying out of the broken fixtures on the top of the sink. Broken mini fridge is still powered on even though the door won’t close, another mini fridge is provided in addition to the regular fridge.
The half bath only has scolding hot water so. Yeah. Broken chair in bedroom, instead of discarding or replacing they set the top on the floor and the base of the chair behind the TV. I was happy about the laundry baskets, but then they had quite a bit of long straight black hairs and dirt? Two scented candles were provided for what I’m assuming is to cut down the smell. It smells like old smoke and an older unwashed man smell. Not overwhelming, unless sleeping, because it’s in the pillows and blanket pretty strong. Nice pillows, but should be replaced due to smell.
Door to main bathroom is big broke. It’s a pocket door that’s obviously off track and all messed up. Will not close.
Outside furniture is nice to have, even though the chairs are in rough shape. The outside bed is NICE and very comfortable.
Overall, I WOULD stay here again if I needed to. I did not complain about these things to the host. I knew by reading the reviews not to expect too much. The key handoff was awkward at best. I was late from the airport, so he left the key cards in a random place in the parking garage. It was fine. No communication past that. No checkout list, nothing. We were also disappointed about Palms casino and restaurant being closed but that has no reflection on this unit’s review.
A bit like luxury camping in a trap house, all of the drawbacks were tolerable. We still enjoyed our stay, and at the price point it was (130ish per night) we consider it a good value.
