- aaja (10/5): - Dont sleep on this property..the rooms or my room was updated and huge. Very clean very nice. Definitely would stay here again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Choice - This was a great choice for the price and comfort. The customer service was amazing and considerate of my request. I will definitely stay again.
- Brian (10/5): Very nice rooms - Unexpected! Room was very good. Bathroom was superior. Lobby and breakfast is terrible. And a weird no visitor rule mentioned when checking in?
- Reyna (10/5): - muy buen y seguro !!
- Ellen (10/5): - This my favorite place to stay
- Ellen (10/5): - I love this location. It’s the only place I stay when I need a hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): My stay - They were very kind and welcoming. Despite the troubles I faced at their sister properly, they treated me with kindness.
- Roberto (10/5): Well maintained Place - Nice and clean.
- Jeffery (10/5): - Clean
- David (10/5): Well worth the money - This was a very nice hotel that was totally renovated, the bathroom was neet well finished and really nice towels (I'm a towels nerd), my only complaint would be there's no door to the bathroom so I shower late and the noise bothered my wife. I would definitely stay here again.
- Yadira (10/5): - Place is wonderful for it's price
- Jocelyn M (10/5): - The room exceeded all my expectations.!! It was so modern
- Anniey (10/5): Must stay here - It's a very clean motel the front desk people are very helpful and nice the rooms are spectacular I really have nothing negative to say about this place to me it's a 10 out of 10 the rooms are especially clean spacious and it will make you want to come back again
- Andy (10/5): - Outstanding property. Clean modern and safe.
- Vladimir (10/5): Clean , stunning , safe - It is absolutely clean and well-maintained like in Europe, it's not your ordinary American motel. But note, you can't have different guests, they are very strict about it. If you want to stay comfy and on a budget in Houston without bed bugs and cockroaches don't look further, for sex fiestas it's better to look at other options.
- Kristi (10/5): Clean & Price is Right - Overnight…hotel and staff very nice and work hard to keep it such. The bed bowed in and not as comfortable but doable for the night…not thrilled by overall area but the place is clean , well lit and they have a privacy fence…very good for price and would most likely stay again…too good a deal to pass up
- Verified traveler (4/5): Please DON'T stay here if you want visitors - The office worker kept calling my room like 10 minutes after I got there because there were 3 people in there and one person was only there for a few minutes.
- John (2/5): - The hotel is pretty nice, comfy beds, spacious rooms, clean inside and out. However, the front desk staff are the most rude, disrespectful hospitality staff I've ever had to deal with. They are very callous and unsympathetic and have no issue lying to your face to get you to go away rather than actually bother to deal with a problem.
- Ellen (10/5): - I love this hotel. The location, the price, the hospitality is all worth it every time I stay here.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Comfortable stay - Great room and bathroom setup, clean, comfortable bed, very friendly and courteous staff. Perfect for our needs.
- david (10/5): Great Stay - Spotless, cost effective and nice peope there.
- Deborah (10/5): - Check in was efficient, professional and friendly. Very nice staff.
- Ellen (10/5): - This has been my go-to spot when I need to be close to home but alone. The price is more than reasonable for the quality of this establishment. I’m OCD so it’s important for everything to look as well as actually be clean. The staff is always welcoming. I go won’t go anywhere else, no matter what extra perks are offered. Thank you for never disappointing this frequent guest!
- BRIAN (10/5): - Great place to stay. Vickie is always so helpful. The cleaning staff are top grade.
- Richard (10/5): - Small complex. Rooms are nice, bathrooms are big.
- Yvonnie (10/5): - Always clean and professional
- Lauryn (8/5): - It’s very convenient clean and the staff would really work with you to make your stay good but the only thing is if you leave something 9 times outta 10 you won’t get it back.
- Nicole (10/5): Great deal in Houston - The room was immaculately clean, and everything looked brand new. Even the outside of the building looked very recently painted. There was some traffic noise, but it was hardly noticeable with the air conditioner running. The bathroom area is large, and the bed was comfortable.
- Claudia (10/5): - The customer service in this hotel is absolutely phenomenal. Vikki, the front desk service, was extremely helpful and attentive to room cleanliness and let us know before hand when room service arrived to our room. Overall, an excellent experience.
- Claudia (10/5): - The customer service was phenomenal. The front desk was very attentive. Overall, the stay was a great experience
- David (8/5): - I stay here a week while I was attending some training I had the staff was awesome the rooms very clean the only down fall was they have now laundry on site
- Sierra (8/5): - Clean and close by everything
- Ellen (10/5): - I love coming here especially by myself. I come to be comfortable in a clean environment. I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels and this one is truly one of the best. Hands done.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Check in was east and safe. Room 210 was clean and sanitize which is a plus for me. I would recommend and would visit again if I’m in that area in the future.
- LUIS (8/5): - Clean & formal. Easy to register.
- Carlos (4/5): Third time is not a charm - My third stay in this hotel. The wifi stopped working at night. The power outlet near the desk did not work. Everything else was fine.
- Evonna (6/5): Bad service - Service was not great. The attendant was rude upon arrival, he had my reservation incorrect and he had an attitude about it? We also asked for more sheets. He asked why we needed more sheets and said that if we needed them, we had to bring the old ones down to the front desk. This was 8pm and the cleaning staff were still out working. The hotel was clean but I would not stay again
- Daniel (10/5): - It was a clean room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The place is clean, service is great.
- kevin (8/5): - OVERALL WOULD STAY AGAIN. PRETTY QUITE . GET DIRECTIONS DOWN . CLEAN ALSO.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was clean and the staff was very friendly. The room was surprisingly nicer than I expected and I was very pleased with my stay. I will be returning to this location in the future. I have already recommended this location to others.
- Lucinda (10/5): - The area didn’t look like much but the room wad beautiful. I loved the layout,
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I was flabbergasted! New rooms totally. Could be a brand new hotel but hard to tell. Totally clean, great beds / towels / huge shower with easy access. I was most impressed with this property and would have no problem recommending it completely to anyone.
- Douglas (10/5): Fantastic Rooms - We've stayed here before. It's a great room near our son's apartment and school. Any time we are in the area, we will stay here.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and quiet, could use thinker blankets But over all i enjoyed my stay
- Sandra (10/5): Exceeds expectations - Exceeded expectations! Recently renovated and huge space.
- George (2/5): Unhappy with the bed and no extra pillows - Bed was uncomfortable. Asked for more pillows and we were told there were plenty in the room. The building was very loud all night long. People going and coming all night long. We were told by a friend the next day that this motel is a rent by the hour type, used for sex and drugs. Not happy had to leave early and forfeit my money.
- Leonard (10/5): Pleasantly surprised by quality of the room. - Better than expected. One of the nicer hotels I've stayed in. Updated room, clean. Area was a little sketchy but I needed to stay in that area as it was close to where I needed to work. It was one way in and out which made me feel better about vehicle safety. Didn't have any issues.
- Karl (8/5): Excellent Room - The room was excellent!!! It was clean and recently remodeled. The people at the front desk were not very sociable at all!! Bare minimum for breakfast. My primary interest is the cleanliness of the room, and comfort of the bed. Palace Inn Gulfgate exceeded my expectations in both of these. I will readily stay there again.
- Caitlin (10/5): - Got the hotel so we wouldn't have to deal with parking/traffic after attending a concert....enjoyed our stay, it served our purpose well.
- Lisa (10/5): - The Hotel is very quite and the room was clean, well decorated and spacious .. This is my new go to hotel when I am in the Houston area.. Not to mention there was some breakfast snacks in the lobby area win-win
- Kerslyn (10/5): - It was a wonderful stay. Very clean...
- jeneva (8/5): - Always enjoy staying here
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was very accommodating and helpful as I was dealing with an emergency family situation that forced me to shorten my stay
- Phillip (10/5): - Courteous, clean, friendly. Will stay again, many times
- Virgie (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable hotel. Like a diamond in the rough.
- LeAnn (10/5): - The room has been recently updated, was very clean, and quiet. I would highly recommend this hotel.
- Dj (8/5): - Friendly, clean and quiet!! Surrounding neighborhood not so good, its like the bad side of town and construction along the access.
- Pradeep (2/5): - The wifi in the hotel sucked, it was never there at all...
- Myra Dawn (10/5): Sparkling clean hotel with great service - This is an incredibly clean hotel with outstanding service. It's a gem in the Gulfgate / Hobby Airport area. I will definitely stay here again!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Not an ironing board or iron in room. Had to call front desk to get one.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - New,clean but if your looking to get sleep this isn't the place. This is a "motel" not a "hotel". I was the only out of state vehicle, horns were blowing into the wee hours just outside the door (like, perhaps stating that your half hour is up dude let's go ! - you know what I'm saying? ).
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very clean, enjoyed stay. One exception. There was no patio or bench where to sit outside and enjoy.
- laurie (10/5): - New renovation with very comfy beds and nice furniture. Very friendly staff . Downside is no elevator for 2nd floor. Right off freeway
- Pat (10/5): Close to University of Houston - Very very impressed, the staff worked continually to keep everything clean. Staff is very friendly. Wish they had an out door lounge area since there's no pool.
- Suzie (10/5): - Check-in late but the staff still holding the room for me. The room is cleaned and i had a good sleep after all 😁
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice, clean, comfortable end near commercial area.
- Alnoor (6/5): Nice Hotel - lots of freeway construction work - Hotel is nice but there was lots of freeway construction work going on on Gulf Freeway (access frontage road ) where this hotel is located and this made the neighborhood look real messy and dangerous for cars as well as pedestrians to navigate thru. It was difficult to walk to nearby stores because of this construction work and there were no side walks either. I would personally not stay at this hotel if I known in advance the state of neighborhood beforehand. But it is what it is. The only other thing I liked about this hotel was that it was 10 minutes drive from George B Brown Convention Center in Downtown Houston - even during traffic times in the mornings and evening and this was my main goal to get there during rush hours. There was not much of breakfast served - few bananas, few apples and danish pastries with coffee, hot water but NO TEA bags - why?
- Justin (10/5): - Diamond in the rough
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very nice - Very nice need more parking. I would’ve gave all good stars. Love coming here parking needs more spaces.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to stay during business trip. - New, Clean, Great place to work in the hotel during after hours.
