The good: The small pool area for Palms Place guests is nice and quiet for kids (however, it closes at 6PM). The tower with the condos seems slightly upgraded and nicer(?) than the regular hotel tower rooms.
Cheap Lyft/Uber drives over to the Strip.
The bad: No ventilation in the bathroom. The condo smelled pretty bad when we walked in. The smell did not go away during the time we were there. Each time we returned to the room, there was kind of a musty-ass smell, likely associated with the shower drain or moisture issues. The shower door leaks water all over the bathroom floor. You cannot put a shower mat or towel in-front of the shower door as the door will not open (bad design). One of the bulbs in the bathroom was burned out.
Comforter on bed seemed dingy. The decorative pillows on bed were stained. There was a long skinny decorative pillow that seemed to have grease stains on it. We put it on the couch
iPhone dock on the nightstand is the 30pin variety and only works with iPhone 4s and below.
Free Wifi (is super slow). Can be upgraded if you pay.
View from balcony is nice. No furniture allowed on balcony.
While the hotel is alright, I'd never stay at Palms again. The smoke smell is terrible down in the casino.
Overall, an okay stay on the cheap, which was the point of our trip.
