Great Hotel
Fantastic hotel and service- we arrived without luggage and they were able to provide essentials like toothbrush for us.
Great place would definitely like to stay again and would recommend.
Roof top pool and bar is particularly nice.

Not the same?
I have been coming to The Palace for about 10yrs for work. This time the service was not the same: breakfast drinks almost non-existent, reception failed to make reservation for restaurant and overall standard helfullness of some of the staff was poor. Will probably look elsewhere for next year.

Have stayed here several times . Good location . Excellent rooftop pool and Fusion restaurant . Very good breakfast with wide choice. All staff extremely friendly and professional. Complimentary upgrade to a suite on top floor which was lovely and spacious but needs some updating and more clothes storage . Shower leaked and flooded floor every time making floor dangerously slippy . Would stay here again

Excellent stay
I was feeling sick when we arrived earlier than check in time and the manager went out of her way to get a room cleaned so we could check in early. The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff were all very nice. The only thing I would recommend is a more pro-active approach to anticipating our needs for dinner reservations and marking different attractions on the map so we know where to go. Also, there was a wedding on the floor above and the music was blasting for hours.
