Our stay at the Palace Station was great. We stayed in the tower and a amazing view right down the strip. All our requests were seen to immediately. Other than the resort fee there were no added charges. We ate at the Breakfast Buffet, Cabo and Coco's. The food was very good. The buffet had just about anything you could want for breakfast, with a made to order egg station. The casino cocktail waitresses came around very frequently and were friendly. The property had a very "safe" feeling to it. The Starbucks in the lobby opened at 6:00am and closed at midnight. The shuttles to the strip and airport were right on time. All in all we had a Great Experience at the Palace Station.

This is a second review by me for the Palace Station, as I recently stayed there again and my experience this time around was slightly different from the last. I will start with the pros of the hotel, which are much, the same as in my last report. For starters the staff is very friendly and helpful. Also the free shuttle to and from the airport, as well as the Fashion Show Mall was a nice touch. The eateries I visited including Cocos and Starbucks were good and not over-priced. I also found my tower room to be very clean, as well as having a good view of the middle of the strip (TI, Trump, Wynn, and so on). In addition unlike with many of the strip hotels it does take forever to check-in or locate your room. The cons of the hotel were slightly different from what I reported lasted last year and are as follows. This hotel is not right in middle of the action like at some of the strip properties. Also despite being listed as being upgraded not all of the tower rooms have been upgraded, as was the case with mine. In addition I also had problems with my TV. First and foremost the remote did not work it and not all of the channels listed, as being offered would display. Also on a few occasions I noticed pay-per-view movies showing on my TV despite that the fact I not ordered them. I was not charged for these, so it was not a problem for me, but could be others, as they were adult’s only offerings. This hotel offers free internet, but only when it works. I was only able to get to get it to work on the last night on next morning I was there. Finally this hotel charges all guests a $14.99 per night amenities fee even if you do use them (pool, internet, shuttle, and so on). I got a really low rate for my room, so this fee was not a big deal to me. In conclusion don’t book this hotel if you are looking a property in the middle of the action. Also make sure you figure in the $14.99 per night amenities fee into your rate to determine actual cost. If you are okay with your cost after adding this fee onto your rate then go ahead and book.

When checking into the Hotel we had to pay a extra fee of 16.79 per day for services we would never use. You don't find this out until you check in.

Recently ( Sept. '09) we stayed for 4 days at this hotel and for the most part found it not too bad. We stayed in the courtyard section in an adequate room for the air and hotel package price. On check in I was advised of an addittional $19.95 +tax per day "RESORT CHARGE" . After some unpleasant discussion I was faced with the choice of accepting the charge or staying elsewhere. We did choose to stay but now the price did not necessarily reflect the service or room provided. We found the Courtyard rooms to quite a hike from the main casino and the particular room we were given was right next to a major vehicle artery and heavy early morning traffic which does not blend well with late nights. I understand all Station Hotels in Las vegas are charging this fee. That being the case it is unlikely they will ever get my return business and I will definately never return to a Courtyard Room at the Palace Station.
