Over the years this place has changed ownership and prices. Even been redone a few times. I've rented a few times to get away from my own home for a night. You get what you pay for and we know that.
I absolutely enjoyed the staff very pleasurable, the hotel has done major renovations rooms are clean with new furniture very nice. They have done some major clean up... the palace is becoming once again the very nice family oriented hotel. I was very comfortable an related. Very quite an peaceful. I will definitely be reserving a room for our family stay again..
I give 4 stars cuz of the respectful, friendly staff! It is old. It was a good stay. No bug issue, walgreens, gas station, mcdonalds was close by. Peaceful n quiet. No issues at all, just an older motel. If ur on a budget especially. Give it a chance
