content: I booked this hotel via JetSetter. We were very disappointed. I spent the whole trip telling my husband I TOTALLY dropped the balll by booking this. I actually considered trying to get my money back and checking into another hotel once I saw our room. Where to begin... first of all, the room had a funky smell. It smelled like fried food. It appears that a previous guest fried something in the mini kitchen and it left a heavy smell in the room. No matter how much body splash i sprayed throughout the room, there was no getting rid of this smell. This brings me to my other huge complaint, it was dirty. You can tell that all housekeeping does is switch out your towels and bed sheets and that's it. The floors and furniture were covered in a layer of dust. This is probably why it is impossible to get the smell of fried food out.... because they dont clean anything. I also sat on the couch and it was full of crumbs, as if someone had been eating there and housekeeping never bothered to vacuum. Cleanliness in a hotel room is huge for me. It really is a shame because if they actually up kept the room, it would be very nice, which is the only reason I did give this 2 stars. It was spacious, has the mini kitchen, and a spacious bathroom with a jet tub which you step out of and right into the shower. It also has a beautiful view of the strip, with a balcony (although you cant use the balcony so it might as well not be there). They also did get some brownie points with us because we said we were on our honeymoon and they sent a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, fruit and water bottles. Although, this was after I called and complained about the smelly dirty room so i'm not sure if they usually do this. \n\nIn addition to all of this, the Palms is not what it used to be. It is now actually kind of ghetto. There were many groups of kids who seem barely old enough to drink staying in the hotel and yelling and screaming. And for the record we are 26, so we aren't exactly old ourselves. \n\nBottom line, yes it's cheap, but it's not worth saving yourself the money. You also need to consider that it's about a $10-$15 cab ride away from the strip depending on traffic so you will spend at least $25 a day in cab fares. I would have preferred a smaller, CLEAN room on the strip, even if it was more expensive, than this. I went with my husband. The ONLY case where I can see this possibly being a good option is if you are going to vegas on a budget with a group of friends with the intention of partying the whole time and you need a cheap spacious place that fits your whole group to crash in. Otherwise I strongly recommend staying somewhere else.
