How is Palms Suites Lakeside (formally Mainstay Suites)?

[djm99]

I was just searching for Hotel deals and came across hotelplusportal.com. They have the Palms Suites Lakeside for $39 in a Executive Suites
$49 for a Family Suite which has two Queen-size beds, Queen-size sleeper sofa, private bath and color television with cable. And the Family Loft Suites offer two levels of accommodations. In the upstairs open loft, guests find a King-size bed, private bath and color television with cable. Downstairs guests have one Queen-size Murphy bed, one Queen-size sleeper sofa, private bath and color television with cable. - for only $59!! You don't have to prepay (which is great)!!!

Any thoughts on this place. I went to Tripadvisor.com and the reviews are up and down. Expedia has up and down reviews too. The pictures of course look okay. Any thoughts and personal pictures would be great!!!

it's right across the street from the Belz outlet store...down from the Target, Walmart..just down from the "big corner" on the 192..?

If memory serves, last winter (while sitting at the lights to get back on the 192 from shopping!), they were in the process of renovating..?

I'm sorry this isn't much help - but mom and I both commented at the time that it looked like a nice place to stay, and wondered how much it was..it's kind of squished between the road and the lake..

For that price, I'd have to give it a try!!

Just called The Palms Suites Lakeside and i asked if they were doing remodel and they said they were! I have pulled the trigger for a 5 day stay in march for a family trip.I asked when i came down in Feb if i could tour a room and they said yes by all means!You are more than welcome to tour us if you wish! That is a good sign! At least it is to me when someone is not afraid to show what they may have or notat 59 dollars a nite for a bi level suite what can i expect?I hope to give you a positive report in a month.If not i will cancel.Nothing ventured nothing gained!

I was looking at this same place. I know this company did a nice job on the remodeling of Homewood. I can't wait to get some feedback!

I'll be staying there soon, so I'll be able to provide a report. For $53 a night and a kitchen included, I think I'll enjoy it.

I was able to get the Parkway International off of hotwire for $87 a nite plus i had 200 hundred in my hotwire dollar account,So it only cost $297 for 5 nites for a 2 bedroom condo.I still plan to visit The palms and suites.

[Neoshoegal]

Lets hope we all enjoy it.

 

[bigsis1970]

Oh great looks like we should be getting a fair amount of reviews shortly then.. Can't wait to see what everyone thinks! Michelle

 

[kikakeko]

We have reservations there for June, so we are looking forward to the photos too!

 

[loveysbydesign]

We'll be there May 19-22nd! We booked the suite with the loft so that we'd have 2 bathrooms! It seems that whenever dh is in the br one of the kiddos has to go-LOL! Plus it'll be nice to have 2 showers so we don't have to wait as long to get a shower when we get back from the parks and are all sweaty!

 

[BrinxFam]

Waiting to see what others think, too! Our church group, only 10 of us, have reservations for a couple of nights in June before heading to the Poly for a few days. Sure hope this is a nice place since I'm the one who chose it!

Thanks for the link! I booked the first 2 days of our stay this morning. I had previously booked Buena Vista Suites for $88. but this is an even better deal. I will wait until some of you folks return with reviews before I cancel my other reservation. I am working on a 7 night stay at Bonnet Creek for the remainder of out trip. I am cancelling the cruise (our first) and I will splurge a little on the hotel instead. Usually I stay at a condo via skyauction, but I really want to try Bonnet Creek, it looks amazing and gets great reviews.

This sounds a little like us. We have BVS booked at the same rate but also booked the Palm Suites. I really want the PS to work out to save some money so I hope the reports are good. We are staying at the Contemporary for the first time in October, so this trip needs to be cheap!

I'm holding onto my BVS reservation also until I hear.

I would love to stay at Bonnet Creek sometime. Sounds great.

I wasn't able to get the "loft" unit at Palm Suites, ......sold out. But I really think we will be ok. I mean, the family suite is still a lot bigger than a hotel room. And I don't think we will be spending a lot of time in the room anyway with the longer park hours.

Here's hoping it's ok!
