Guest Reviews
- Mario (10/5): - Clean room, staff and safe.
- Victor (10/5): - Nice, clean, well kept property. Bed is more firmer than I am accustomed.
- Myles (6/5): - Overall, it was a decent one night stay. You get what you pay for. I got the smokers room (bad choice by me). Bed sheets & comforter had smoker cherry burn holes in them. I called front desk for a new comforter and they bought one in less than 10 mins. TV was mounted crooked. Right by the freeway, so can get noisy at times. I wouldn’t pay any more than I did to stay here again and would only stay here for 2 nights max.
- Karen (8/5): - The bed and pillows were too firm for my liking. The good news is that it is located right off of the freeway. Very convenient. The bad news is that it is located right off of the freeway. Very loud.
- Kyungmin (8/5): - Pests in the room
- Teresa (10/5): Great Deal - I had not stayed at a motel in years. It was clean with wood and tile floors. The shower was the best shower I’ve had in memory at an inn. I stayed on the second floor and there is not an elevator. But for the price, I feel I got a great deal.
- Ivette (10/5): - Good price, clean, safe, very convenient location near by CotyCentre and at the side of Walmart. Nice staff.
- Bonnie (10/5): Love the Palace - Loved EVERYTHING about the Palace Inn...The room was spacious, clean. beds comfy..The area was very safe and quiet...
- Lois (10/5): - Our clean room was perfect site for recovering from surgery. Personnel very accommodating. Housekeeping staff thoughtful and helpful. Great location for MH appointments.
- Darlene (8/5): - The property was upgraded and newer. The room was spacious and clean. Its located close to City Center where the selection of restaurants is plentiful. They could improve on the selection of toiletries and provide kleenex for the guests otherwise it was fine.
- Brian (10/5): - The manager was great. He helped my wife adjust the tv
- Margie (10/5): - Chrck in was seamless. Room was spacious, clean and quiet. Good value
- Antonio (10/5): - We found the accommodations to be both enjoyable and comfortable, with exceptional cleanliness and attentive service.
- Ekaterina (10/5): - It was nice. Clean and updated. Parking is limited but we did not have any problems with it. Good wifi, friendly staff. Will definitely stay again.
- Rudy (10/5): - Super 👍
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very clean - Above all, cleanliness is the top priority, and the room was very clean.
That's being said, there were 4 very flat pillows on the bed, no breakfast at all (except for coffee, and we got in there with a full hour left of "breakfast time."
One of the faq is about rooms with hot tubs, and the answer is, "yes, each room has a deep soak bathtub in it." Maybe the term is a very loose translation.....
- cammie (10/5): - Good service, will be back.
- Kevin (10/5): - Quit
- leticia (10/5): - No Kleenex in room, no hangers either. There was a wadded up ball of toilet paper on floor behind bathroom door.
- Tatiana (8/5): - The staff was GREAT! Every person at the counter and even the cleaning lady were accommodating, friendly and nice. I dropped one star for two things:
1. I was unaware my room was on the second floor and asking for a first floor room was not an option. I am 5 feet tall, weighting 120 lbs, with a bag that weights 55 lbs, no elevator either, so going up and down with my luggage was VERY difficult. I would had appreciated if BEFORE I book it should had been noted so I can make an informed decision.
2. The “breakfast” is coffee/tea/water at the counter 24/7 with fruit and energy bars of your choosing. Although it’s unlimited, being that it was an hotel, not an airbnb, I was expecting a Continental or buffet breakfast sort of what you will find in a popular chain. This also was not noted in the description of the services. It says “breakfast included” with for me it can be deceiving. Breakfast means different things for different people and I was expecting something different instead of a grab and go snack.
Other than that, everything was perfect. Spacious and clean room, quiet, free parking. I will book again unless I find something on the same price range with what i would call breakfast.
- Nabeel Murad (10/5): - Rooms were kept neat and clean
- Rosalva (8/5): - I liked that there was no carpet floor; very clean. I didn’t like that there was only 1 small trashcan that ought to be in the restroom for discarding wipes.
- Kevin (8/5): - Enjoying
- robert (10/5): - Check in and check out was fast, easy and friendly. The room was spacious, super clean and remodeled. The bed was firm with a very thin bedspread and flimsy pillows. Blackout curtains were good. Mini fridge, microwave and TV were all clean and worked properly. Shower water and pressure were good. Very few amenities. Breakfast was coffee, tea, small bottled juices, packaged muffins, cereal bars, apples and bananas. Parking was easy and clean. Never heard another guest. Area was safe, clean and convenient. About 20 minutes from downtown. Would recommend, but the lack of amenities did not match the price point. Overall a good stay.
- Elias (10/5): - I had an amazing stay!
- Charles (10/5): - My room was very clean. The mattress was firm and very comfortable.
- Kimberly (10/5): Pleased - The staff is very pleasant and welcoming. The room is spacious and clean.
- Yakina (10/5): Great stay! - The stay here is always wonderful! They treat you with respect, it’s beyond clean and more importantly it’s Safe! The bed are comfortable also. The only complaint is the traffic since it’s next to highway but that’s out of their control. It’s wonderful
- Kimberly (10/5): Pleased - Welcoming staff and easy check in. Very nice room.
- Naimath Ulla Hussaini (10/5): - Well-located. It's clean and affordable
- Edward (8/5): - The motel was in super condition, but due to its proximity to the freeway it was somewhat noisy. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
- Candice (10/5): - This Palace Inn is modern and charming
- GREG (10/5): - A little bit land-locked and limited access...but extremely friendly staff and clean room!
- Ann (10/5): - Had a pleasant stay at this hotel at a different location recently and decided to try this one. I was very pleased with the property and room. The property is well kept & conveniently located, and the room is spacious and clean. Overall, I appreciate that it's affordable and a great place to stay, highly recommend staying here!
- FEKRAT (4/5): - I reserved a room with breakfast
All what they provided is a snack
- La Shawn (8/5): Great for Budget Conscious Traveler - Excellent value for the price I bed. The rooms were nice, very clean, and appeared to be recently renovated. Please note the property does not have an elevator. So if you are unable to walk up stairs reserve a ground floor room. Also, there is no breakfast available. However, the hotel is near City Centre, restaurants, and located behind Wal-Mart. The room has a mini fridge and microwave too. I highly recommend this property for budget conscious travelers. It's a good bang for your buck. One last thing parking is limited to guests.
- Rose (8/5): - Our HDMI cable was stolen from our TV and even after replacing it the TV still didn't work. So we changed rooms and that tv turned itself on and off every 10mins the whole entire stay. Also they only have 1 tiny trashcan for the entire room
It needs either more than one small one or one larger trash can.... And the complimentary breakfast was not much of a breakfast.. juice and a banana. Isn't much of a breakfast. More like a small for the morning and off you go. Other than that it was clean and quiet and we liked the large walk in showers.
- Joseph (10/5): - Extremely nice! Way underrated. In the heart of Memorial City close to everything. Excellent price and amenities in room
- Minerva (10/5): - The staff there is very kind and respectful , the rooms are very clean . The property is very quiet at night which makes for a peaceful rest .
- Minerva (10/5): - The staff was very kind and respectful . The property is clean as well as the rooms . very quiet at night .
- Janie (10/5): - It’s clean and spacious
- Luke Q (10/5): - Friendly staff, nice king bed, next to a nice Walmart, convenient location.
- Vicki (10/5): - Nice place
- William (6/5): - The bed was hard as a rock also no small coffee pot as you normally see in the hotel room. Also the breakfast was not really a breakfast it was more like snacks and coffee
- Karyn (10/5): - I liked the size and cleanliness of the room. Cleaning staff seemed always busy and the cleaning supply cart was always present in the corridors. I would stay here again.
- Cortney (8/5): - Nice little property. Easy check in/out, nice rooms, love the shower and private toilets. Only cons for me was i wish the beds were a little softer (they are FIRM) and better comforter. Pillows are comfy. I would book again 👍
- Janie (10/5): - Great spot
- Nina (10/5): - I was absolutely amazed and pleased with Palace Inn City Center. Everyone was very friendly, professional, and accommodating. The rooms are extremely spacious and clean. The bathroom is beautiful! And you don't have to worry about safety, because the entire property is well lit. I highly recommend them and will be a repeat customer.

- Sean (10/5): - Comfortable and clean with friendly staff
- Gina (10/5): - This was a very clean hotel. I loved the fact it didn’t have carpet . The night clerk was very friendly and accommodating. The only negative I could have used more pillow and some softer lighting around the sleeping area. But overall was a great place at an affordable price!
- Kevin (10/5): - It was a chill place, nice shower, nice bed to lay on. A bit firm but it was great. My only gripe was the fridge being a bit too noisy.
- Penny (6/5): - THE BED WAS SO HARD IT WAS LIKE SLEEPING ON A BED OF BRICKS. PILLOWS INSUFFICIENT. VERY SPARSELY DECORATED. TWO HARD PLASTIC CHAIRS AND A ROUND TABLE. A LOT OF NOISE FROM THE FEEDER ROAD OF THE HIGHWAY
- Harold (10/5): - Pkace was very clean. We really liked the shower. It was different and really great.
- Ronan (8/5): - I had no problems, this was actually nice for a motel. Compared to another motel and cheap airbnb rooms, this was the best stay on my trip.
- Jennifer (10/5): - The property is conveniently located on the west side of Houston. Check-in was fast and easy, the staff were nice, the room is great, and the bed comfortable.
- Kacey (8/5): - It's a clean roof over your head which is a good thing for the price.

- Joel (10/5): - No issues
- Sara (6/5): - The mattresses too hard
- Daniel (8/5): - It was convenient, for it was a close drive, as my eyes were dilated from drs appt. I was hoping for a nicer experience, but got what I paid for. A nicer close by place was full.

- Jelsea (10/5): - Huge shower
- Ericka (10/5): My all time favorite hotel - I travel to Houston for work and this hotel is so clean and comfortable. The renovations are amazing and the staff is great as well. I will always book this hotel and fingers cross that they'll have availability.
- Paula (10/5): - The staff were responsive and prompt
- reginal (10/5): - Good
- Brian (10/5): - N/A
- SUZAN (10/5): - This seems like a new, clean property. The rooms are spacious & have laminate flooring, which I prefer to germ-ridden carpet. Mini fridge & small microwave included. There are two quirky issues in the design of the room - both bedside valances operate on one switch so can’t just turn one out or on, it has to be both on or both off. And the bedside plugs are inconveniently far from the bed, so bring a long charging cord. The property is very well-lit at night & the black out curtains do a good job. Oh, and the bed is super firm. On-site staff was nice, helpful & available.
- Carlos (10/5): - Room was very nice; large open space. Clean modern looking furniture. Walk-in shower. The best part was the ultra-firm bed.
- William (6/5): Spacious. Clean. - The room was recently redecorated and was very nice. Spacious. It was VERY hot out when we were there and the AC kept it cool, but a little damp (did not take the humidity out as well as I would have liked). The room and grounds were very clean. I was a little concerned though when the check in personnel was behind glass and the rules of the hotel were posted near the glass. The rules basically touched upon not doing anything illegal. It made me feel a little uneasy (I was not sure what kind of neighborhood I had chosen to stay in). I did not see anything unacceptable though.
- Lisa (8/5): Good but minimal extras - Very clean. There is no elevator for the second floor which is fun when you have luggage! Very clean but minimal. Coffee & breakfast is in the check in office & includes granola bars & packaged muffins.
- Andre (10/5): - I have stayed many time at this motel. It the best hotel/motel for your money. It is located in west Houston, close by City Center. The managers are very friendly. The spacious room has what you need, a king size comfortable bed, a great shower, good internet!
- Shameka (10/5): - Quiet clean friendly property. Will stay again. Multiple stays .
- Mahbub (10/5): - Good services
- Maura (10/5): Great, clean hotel - The room was so big and comfortable and very clean, I was really impressed by it, check in was so easy, the person there was super nice, I love the hotel even the outside was so clean, I will stay there every time I go to Houston.
- David (10/5): - This property has a lot of 4.5 and up reviews which is why we chose it. When we arrived at the property we immediately knew the reviews were accurate and our stay was a 5.0.
The entire hotel area was clean, the stairs going to our room were super clean and safe, the ice machine was clean and convenient.
The room was exemplary in every way; in fact, it was great to have a shower that is separate from the toilet area and the shower heads were strong and 7 feet high ( I am tall). The shower was so big that three large people could fit in and move around. The extras they provide were quality and the bed very comfortable with a lot of pillows.
The staff was just as exemplary as the property, and really helpful.
- Sharon (10/5): - This hotel is an incredible deal. It's a new build, not a renovation, and so in great condition. The rooms are spacious, especially the bathroom, with a separate toilet room, and a large shower. Everything was sparkling clean, the room was well furnished, and the bed comfortable. The desk clerk was very gracious, especially when I actually canceled and then rebooked due to some glitches with the travel site I used. Overall this is an excellent value for an overnight stay.
- MUCAHIT (10/5): - Quiet
- Verified traveler (10/5): Would stay there again - We had a great stay. Everyone was nice, the hotel was clean and very quiet. My only heads up would be that the shower is out in the open. The toilet is in a separate room but the shower is clearly visible so not ideal when traveling with family.
- Patrick D (10/5): Quick trip surprise - will stay again - We were making a quick trip to Houston for a funeral and needed a one-night, affordable place. This was rated 9.6 out of 10, and the location was good. With tax we were at less than $90, so we thought we would try it. We were impressed -- It was spotless. The room decor was nice. The man at checkin was polite, efficient, and considerate. Breakfast was only coffee and muffins or snack bars, but otherwise, I would give it a 10. We WILL stay again.
- Alaba (8/5): - The hotel is quite and serenity very okay but not close to shopping area
- jiyoung (8/5): - 가격대비 좋아요 코비드후 매일 총소잘안해주는곳이 많은데 인도계 주인및 종업원들이 매일 청소해줘서 만족합니다
- Nera (6/5): - My cousin stayed at this property - Says that the room was damp and had a strong odor.
- Alexis (2/5): - My truck was stolen from this location took 2 days to get access to cameras
- Jimmy (10/5): - Great place! Loved it
- Jennifer (10/5): - Clean and quiey
- Michael (4/5): - TV was not working. Breakfast was a bunch of cookies. I will forever avoid this hotel. I’m surprised with their ratings.
- Januarius (10/5): - Nice and affordable. Staff was very polite.
- Kim (10/5): Love this place - Hotel was clean and check in was fast and friendly.
- Susan (10/5): - Location was very convienent. Staff were super nice and accomodating for my senior mother. Property and room were clean & well maintained. Breakfast was minimal - granola bars, muffins, bananas & apples, juice & coffee. Coffee was good. We were wanting to go out to brunch - so that is all we wanted. Only stairs to 2nd floor. A Walmart was next door if needed.
