Compare Hotels on the Lake in Palestine

"I've stayed here 7 or 8 times in the past year. The property has always been acceptable, no frills, reasonably clean, etc. This time, the room was awful. Nothing was cleaned properly. Unfortunately, there was an event in town, and other rooms were available. Otherwise, I would have left. "

"Im not sure how this was so highly rated. The ratings I saw stated this hotel was "pleasent", but my experience was not. Maybe I'm bougie, but the bass coming from the cars in the parking lot barely covered the noise of the screaming children in the adjoining room that was not mentioned also listening to loud music through a stereo system. Room was clean but given the noise in the evening and the very strange number of people walking around counting cash during the day as I was checking in, I found alternate accommodations and checked out shortly after taking a shower the same evening as checking in."

"A/C kept room nice and cool after a muggy evening out!"

"It is a perfectly pleasant and serviceable room on the cheap."

"We start working at Dawn. They don’t serve breakfast until 630 am so we couldn’t enjoy their breakfast. I think they do that so they don’t have to feed as many people. Most of the people in that hotel are blue collar workers just like us …up at the crack of dawn and out of the door by six. we looked at the vehicles in the parking area. Most of them were trucks. Just like us. Working folks! And most of those guys were gone before we were at 6 AM …And when I tried to make coffee in my room, there was only decaf. I was so upset. I didn’t wanna have to get dressed to go down to the coffee bar and get caffeinated coffee. It was 530 when I got up. I don’t think I’m gonna go back to that hotel to be honest … too disappointing. My partner and I have worked Palestine for 20 years. Almost everybody that stays in this hotel works for a living … using their hands with a skill. Working manually. Five years ago, we did a huge project staying in that hotel for five weeks. We saw the same thing. People that get up really early because of the Texas heat and start working at the crack of dawn. The showers are good. You can certainly take a nice hot shower and rest well because it’s quiet. But just knowing that a whole lot of what you pay for is the breakfast and the coffee in the room, I felt very, very disappointed."

"All the staff was very helpful"
