The hype
Travelers love the huge rooms and free parking but constantly complain about worn-out furniture and cleaning fees.
Palms Place Hotel And Spa
$100-250/ night
Book this if You want a massive Vegas suite with a kitchen and free parking, but hate the smoke and chaos of a casino floor.
Why People Love It
- Rare free valet and self-parking in Las Vegas
- All-suite rooms start at 600 sq ft with kitchenettes
- Quiet, non-gaming, non-smoking atmosphere connected to the action via SkyTube
Quick Take: It’s a glorified condo complex where the furniture is often worn, the housekeeping is inconsistent, and the balconies are tantalizingly locked.
Reviewed by @sandykandysosweet: I honestly didn't want to leave this suite. The floor-to-ceiling windows gave me the best sunset views, and having a private balcony in Vegas is such a rare luxury. It felt more like a high-end apartment than a hotel room, which made my trip so much more relaxing.
