The hotel was close to the beach and the staff was very friendly. The walls are thin and again, it's close to the beach, so lots of loud traffic coming through. But i will 100% stay here again if my traveling brings me to the beach.

Absolutely terrible.
It was a disaster and very dirty. Drug deals going on all night and day with people living there. Pool was disgusting the whole time. The room was so hot couldn’t stand it. They never had clean towels or rags. The guy in the office is rude as heck and talks to everyone disrespectful. We left two days early because we couldn’t take it anymore.

Never again!
When we got there there were 2 people ahead of us and 1 person working behind the counter. It took us almost 40 minutes to actually check in. When we finished, there were 3 people waiting behind me in the air conditioned office and at least 10 people behind me waiting outside in 95 degree heat. The office only held 3-4 people. We had no soap or tv remote in our room and after having gone to the office twice for these things, the TV didn’t work the entire night and morning we were there due to weak signal, which means it’s likely nobody had tv. Considering they were charging $417.00 a night, that’s pretty pathetic. When I told the guy in the morning I expected some sort of refund, he said have a good day. The place is a dump from the outside. Never again.

Room had dirty clothes left from previous guest on floor, REEKED of cigarettes, and was in poor condition overall. We could not even stay a single night. We had to book a different hotel and were refused a refund.

Disappointment
Never had the opportunity to stay at the Palms even with a prepaid reservation. Upon arrival I was told there weren't any rooms available and that my refund had to go thru Expedia. I got the impression that they are not a very reputable business and would never choose them as a place to stay.

The only thing positive was at least the bed was clean.
No bath mat, floors slippery when wet after a shower, used a clean towel and whe I picked it up off the floor it was filthy.

I waited 2 hours in parking lot for someone to show up to check me in. When the young boy finally walked up he wanted an extra $200 in cash only for deposit and was super rude would not even let me look at a room unless i gave him 200 cadh. Told me to get a refund if i didnt like it. But they dont give refunds so i was out all that money and no where to stay

This hotel was horrible. We paid $260 for a 1 night stay with bed bugs. There were flies all in the room. No parking, was woken up to staff beating on the door for us to move our car because cars were piled on top of each other due to no marking. A $100 deposit is required even after booking with Expedia. I’ve stayed in nice hotels and not paid a $100 deposit. Highly would not recommend. They upped their price so much just for bike fest when they typically probably charge $45 a night or hourly rates.

I wouldn’t go back there again.
It was honestly gross. There was poop on the inside of the toilet bowl and I had not used the toilet yet. I noticed a small maybe 1/2 inch blood stain on the door frame of the door in the bathroom. The sheets had dust and hair in them when you pulled them out. Other than everything was clean. Nice padded office chair on wheels and a mini fridge with a mini freezer (don’t see that too often). Honestly I just felt like I was paying for a roof over my head and essentially I was. Could definitely smell people smoking pot or just finished smoking it. I wouldn’t go back there again.
