They required a $50 additional room deposit on top of my pre-paid room. They said it would be refunded. The room was left in perfectly good condition, and the room key was returned to the desk. I was there for a single night and out more than an hour before checkout. A week later I am still fighting to get my deposit back.

The first room assigned to me had no bed. The second room assigned to me had a broken AC--both the heat and cool buttons only turned the fan on. I was forced to book another hotel and The Palms refused to provide a refund.
