Filthy rooms- floor, blinds, walls. First room's toilet didn't flush so we switched and the low flow in the second one almost didn't want to flush. The carpet was old and felt wet? Damp? And had a weak spot that felt like I was gonna fall through the floor. The front desk dude WROTE DOWN my credit card number for "additional charges". No no no. Two stars instead of one because the bed was extremely comfortable. Otherwise never again.

I expected it to be bad for how cheap it was but this was the nastiest room ive ever stayed in. Smelled like mold. Blood stains on sheets. The roof was leaking making the bathroom floor all wet. Nobody in the office either.

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.
