Breakfast selection was horrible. Coffee was probably the worst I ever tasted. Wife had not seen her brother in 21years and when him and his wife stopped with us to grab something from our room, we were immediately contacted on the phone by the front desk. They said we were to leave immediately that they were not welcome on the property. We will never stay again and recommend no one else does. Very disrespectful and did not appreciate it at all!!!!

Overall, this isn't a bad place. It would be nice to have a clean blanket on the bed (rather than just a dirty bedspread). Walmart is within walking distance, and the Greyhound bus station is a five-minute drive away.

Clean and Cold =High Value

Its tidy clean little place rooms are small simple seem newly redone. We just sleep and go so not needing much. In town for an Astros game, right off 45 so convenient. Next door is a Walmart which again a convenient. Its just south of downtown H-town. Parking is very well lit if those things concern you, price is a good value for a bed and shower, lobby is tiny, coffee n honey bun both serviceabl.

Employees need better customer service

Well the hotel definitely looked better in the pictures than in person. When i pulled in my friend was already making fun of me for choosing the hotel. Then when we were checking in we had to deal with an uptight employee. Saying we cant have visitors even though we are there for pleasure we wanted to at least bring new friends if we were to meet anyone. He said if we bring anyone he’d get security to kick us all out. Like what kinda service is that how are you gonna keep customers. Then the room was musty and the a/c wasn’t strong enough to keep the room cold. Then the restroom was humid. I also got this place because it had a good rating i didn’t understand that

We wanted a motel close to the baseball field in downtown Houston. The room was clean and comfortable.The only two things that I pointed out to the desk clerk were that the stopper in the bathtub didn't work and the entry door seal or weather strip piece was broken and allowed a big gap
at the entry door bottom for bugs to enter in the room.

A Stay at Palace Inn, Wayside, Houston

There was no lobby where I could have stayed to wait for a friend the day I checked out. As a result, I had to pay $50.00 to stay in my room till 3:00pm. The advertised breakfast included in the room rate was a sham.

My prepaid booking disappeared

I don't know if it was this hotel or Hotels.com, but my booking was lost. They wouldn't even try to work me in, they just kept saying that the reservation wasn't there. The thing is, Hotels.com had already taken my payment. The Hotels.com employee I talked to about it didn't believe me at first when I told them what happened, in spite of having contacted the hotel. I'm never using this hotel or Hotels.com again. Lesson learned.

It is very obvious that the owners of this property intend to keep it extremely clean both inside and out. The lighting on the exterior and the cleanliness of the parking lot was very good. They obviously know they are in a less desirable part of town and so they maintain the property really well to make people feel comfortable in staying there. The property is just a block away from I 45 so it is extremely convenient to get to various places. I would not say that there are nice restaurants nearby most or just fast food places and the property is literally next-door to a super Walmart. The hotel has a good fence all around it and a small limited entrance to the street called Wayside. I appreciated the price of the room but of course the lower price did not attract a higher income Clientele but the other guest did seem to conduct themselves appropriately. I was there for four days and the maid service did a very good job every day.

Overnight Stay worty the Pay

The Inn was Wonderful to say the least. The location and outside will definitely fool you. The room was very clean, smelled great. I didn't have much interaction with the staff. The only problem I had was the back to back room calls starting around 10am. I didn't ask for a wake up call so I can only assume they were alerting me to my check-out time which wasn't until 11am. Other than that my stay was great!

The management is not very friendly here, in fact they can be rude. The continental breakfast that they advertise consists of a few pieces of fruit and a jug of coffee inside the small glass protected check in booth. Also there are no tubs in any of the rooms only showers. There is no carpet in any of the rooms and parking spaces are very limited because the lot is small. The rooms are clean & fairly modern but they only give you 2 large towels, 2 hand towels and 2 washcloths. Also the hot water doesnt get very hot only medium warm.

Ownership is discusting

The worst hotel ive ever stayed at. The owner was a jerk from the time we checked in. When i checked in he tryed to say i didnt pay for double occupancy so my wife couldnt stay there unless i payed more which isnt true. I work late so i like to sleep in a little and at 9am hes pounding on the door saying its check out time. The one day i was at the room and my wife came back to the room and the owner calls the room saying he was going to call the cops because i had a visitor. I told him it was my wife and he said it wasnt. This guy is a complete joke. On top of all that the rooms had bugs and were gross. The owner needs to be reported to BBB

No Breakfast Available

The Palace Inn Wayside was a disappointment. They list \"breakfast included,\" but don't really offer even a continental breakfast. There is a coffee maker in the small \"lobby\" and small, packaged danish pastries and a few apples and bananas. I don't drink coffee and they did not even offer tea or hot chocolate. The \"breakfast included\" was a major reason I chose to reserve a room here, but I would not do so again.

Good price - Clean

Located convenient to our destination. Clean and comfortable. Small problem with lack of standard room amenities - facial tissue, coffee maker, decent soap. Big problem - bathroom was ok but the tub and shower were extremely dangerous. We did not ask for a handicap room but should have. There is no bar in the shower to hold onto. The tub bottom was slippery - I almost fell. My wife was too afraid to shower; it was simply too dangerous. Strongly suggest installing a safety bar in each shower. The walls of the shower were smooth and slippery - literally nothing to hang onto. We only needed to stay one night or otherwise would have moved to another motel or demanded a handicap room.
