Stayed at the Palace over christmas 2007. The room rates were an excellent deal $25 for a courtyard room per night.

Although the rooms are small, they are recently remodeled so I felt like I am staying at a newer and more pricer hotel.

The only complain I have is that the walls are paper thin, and I can hear people in other rooms talking and slamming doors, etc.

Considering it was only $25 per night, I don't have any complain.

Stayed 1 night @ the Sunset Station (for a business mtg) & 1 @ the Palace Station (to visit w/a friend; business mtg had originally been planned for Palace Station but moved after the whole OJ saga, which is another stor). Looking @ the Palace Station website & especially the descriptions of the Tower Rooms, one would THINK the 'newly renovated' rooms included beds on par w/other hotels fully engaged in the 'hotel bed wars'. I can tell you from personal experience it is exactly the same bed as what is @ the Sunset Station. Exactly the same mattress w/exactly the same un-fitted bottom sheets (complete w/holes in them, btw!) & the flimsy mattress 'pad', both of which are guaranteed to end up in a wadded up knot in the middle of the bed the first time you turn over! And the 'duvet' pictured on the Palace Station website-that's also the blanket; nothing else on the bed or in the room! As a self-confessed hotel 'bed snob', I am VERY annoyed @ the desception this hotel practiced from this perspective.

I will admit the bathroom @ Palace Station is a HUGE improvement over those @ the Sunset Station, however, the towels are exactly the same (rolled @ PS vs. folded @ SS). Oddly there isn't a towel bar for hanging of bath towels, though there is a smaller one located on the bathroom counter right in front of the sink. However, since the counter & sink are MUCH lower than you would expect in a hotel, this towel bar doesn't do much except get in the way of trying to get to the sink. This is also one of the very few 'Strip' hotels that actually provides a real work desk in the rooms, so they get points for that. Enormous flat screen tv is nice, as well, but it's so big, the only way to really be able to watch it is from the bed; it's too big to turn for viewing from the armchair in the corner or while seated at the desk.

In-room internet access at both is a rip-off; $9.99//day AND you must have the super secret 6-digit password you can only get from pressing 'menu' on the tv remote to access the internet (& thus ensure that you are appropriately charged, of course!). Problem was the night I checked in @ the Palace Station there was a problem w/the 'menu' function across the entire hotel & the front desk staff couldn't seem to understand how to get around this. They finally connected me to the hotel's internet support desk, who did know how to get around it, but the only phone in the room was no where near the desk. Phone cord was long enough to reach, but only AFTER I moved the nightstand & got it off the phone cord which had been wadded up under it. Once connected there was an on-going problem w/being actually being able to access anything which I am guessing is a result of the hotel's settings. Nearly every website initially comes up as 'Page not found', but after hitting the refresh button, the site comes up. Not exactly 'high-speed' as far as I'm concerned! Food in both was so-so, though service @ the Palace was better than Sunset.

We stayed for three nights in their refurbished tower rooms. The rooms contain 42" plasma TV monitors with the swivel capability. All the new cabinetry in the bedroom and bath are well designed and modern. The sink top contains a raised back shelf which is really handy for placing the toiletries. Someone else mentioned things were dusty in the room, but in ours this was in appearance only as the tops to the dressers and sink are black with flecks making it look like dust.

The casino contains a good selection of video poker and slots, plus all the standard table games. A very nice selection of restaurants at reasonalble prices.

We booked this hotel for a one night stay initially as I had read that it had been done up and that it was good value for money. How wrong could they be?
Our problems began at check in where none of the staff seemed to have a clue what they were doing. Due to circumstances we decided to stay two nights at this hotel rather than the one night we had prepaid.I had phoned to add the extra night to our itinerary and told them to charge our credit card. This did not happen and we were then charged extra as they had not got the card number on record. Ridiculous. This scenario was obviouslsy very confusing for the check in staff. One night had had been paid for and we paid the other night on our credit card. We were asked to leave a $50 deposit and our credit card details. We left the deposit in cash as we wanted the cash back. They also put a hold on $180 for what was a $65 room. On check out we were told our deposit had been used to pay for the room with the remainder being charged to our card. This was not what I had agreed with the check in lady.They also kept going on about a $5.40 service charge for each night but I still have no idea what this was for and why it was payable on a room that had been prepaid in full.We are still waiting for the money to be released back onto our card, which although is not entirely the hotels fault was avoidable and annoyed me as we were without the $50 and had no acces to the money they had put a "hold" on. This is not a lot of cash but it was contrary to what I had agreed with the hotel.

The rooms had been refurbished to a high standard, lovely king size bed, huge plasma screen TV, nicely done bathrooms, however the whole effect was marred by the room being dirty. It hadn't been dusted in an age and the bathroom needed a good scrub. The TV remote didn't work neither did a replacement. The bath looked nice but when you lay down in it it was like lying on sandpaper. The non-slip coating was very effective but impossible for having a bath. The walls were paper thin and we were unfortunate enough to have noisy neighbours who were trying to get through the connecting door at 4am and made me a bit nervous. The hallways were also grubby with cigarette butts lying around.
I was glad to leave.
