text: I stayed at the Palms Hotel off the strip this past weekend. I have to say that my corner room in the Ivory Tower was fantastic. I Had a view of the Strip from one window and the mountains from the other window. The bottle of champagne was great; however the service was something to be desired. I didn't mind checking after 4:00 pm versus 3:00 pm on Thursday. But, what I did mind is the front desk taking 3 hours to give me a new remote control for the TV. I was locked out of my room 2 times because the key didn't work in the door. That Saturday there was a private wine tasting party at the pool and the guest weren't allowed in the pool area or to purchase ticket. What type of hotel does this on a weekend when it's busy with the regular hotel guest? I ask for a late checkout of 12:00 pm versus 11:00 am and was declined as well. The Van to take you to the Las Vegas Strip only runs from 8:00 AM-11:00 PM. The van should run at least until 3: 00AM Thursday-Sunday. I was glad that I rented a car because I went to Wal-Mart on Rainbow to buy bottled water and cheap snacks. Now if you don't want to rent a car stay on the strip. The room was great, and the service not some much! This was a Daily deal purchase so I guess you get what you pay for. Stayed 05/16/13-05/19/13.\n\nRoom Tip: Corner room in the Ivory Tower.
