Overall Review of Palisades Inn

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Elevators and maintenance disrupt stays

Elevator and maintenance problems repeatedly affect guest experience.

Several residents report elevator outages or limited working access during their stay, including cases where rooms required stairs due to elevators being out. A few guests also describe in-room maintenance issues that take time to resolve, including plumbing and drainage problems. In at least one instance, the situation appears tied to construction and building updates, adding to frustration for families and guests with mobility needs.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Cleanliness complaints raise concerns

Some reviews mention serious cleanliness and pest issues.

A small set of residents describe the property as unclean, including a room that smelled strongly and floors needing attention. Others report pest problems severe enough to mention rats or cockroaches and ask for help or room changes when infestations were noticed. Even when maintenance was said to respond promptly in one case, multiple reports indicate cleanliness and pest control were inconsistent across stays.

common 11 reviews mention this

Family activities and pools stand out

Family-focused activities and pools are a frequent highlight.

Many residents describe the property as a good fit for families, pointing to kid-centered pool areas, splash pads, and play spaces. Several reviews also mention on-site activities such as games, crafts, and an activities center that keeps children busy. A few guests contrast this with wanting quieter stays when children are present, but the overall pattern is that the community plans day-to-day options around family recreation.
