Clean and Cold =High Value

Its tidy clean little place rooms are small simple seem newly redone. We just sleep and go so not needing much. In town for an Astros game, right off 45 so convenient. Next door is a Walmart which again a convenient. Its just south of downtown H-town. Parking is very well lit if those things concern you, price is a good value for a bed and shower, lobby is tiny, coffee n honey bun both serviceabl.

Employees need better customer service

Well the hotel definitely looked better in the pictures than in person. When i pulled in my friend was already making fun of me for choosing the hotel. Then when we were checking in we had to deal with an uptight employee. Saying we cant have visitors even though we are there for pleasure we wanted to at least bring new friends if we were to meet anyone. He said if we bring anyone he’d get security to kick us all out. Like what kinda service is that how are you gonna keep customers. Then the room was musty and the a/c wasn’t strong enough to keep the room cold. Then the restroom was humid. I also got this place because it had a good rating i didn’t understand that

We wanted a motel close to the baseball field in downtown Houston. The room was clean and comfortable.The only two things that I pointed out to the desk clerk were that the stopper in the bathtub didn't work and the entry door seal or weather strip piece was broken and allowed a big gap at the entry door bottom for bugs to enter in the room.

I was not expecting the cleanliness of the room. Past times that I have booked cheaper rooms, it had something wrong with the room. This will be a go to for future visits.

A Stay at Palace Inn, Wayside, Houston

There was no lobby where I could have stayed to wait for a friend the day I checked out. As a result, I had to pay $50.00 to stay in my room till 3:00pm. The advertised breakfast included in the room rate was a sham.
