Palace Hotel

Near old 1882
Hotel in silver City. Downtown by the little toad Creek brewery and distillery and several galleries. Great old atmosphere. No elevator but decent stairs. A continental breakfast upstairs in the sitting area very pleasant.

WISH ALL HOTELS WERE LIKE THIS HOTEL .The Manager Robert and Assistant Manager Andrew and Staff were the best .Thank you Robert, Andrew , Michelle Sabrina and Lana and everyone there for making our stay not only comfortable but making us feel that it was -a home away from home.Safe and secure for solo or family stay.full of Southern Charm.Ideal place for history buffs.If you don't want to drive please ask the staff and they will help arrange transport.or call Nathaniel (UBER)or Zac to get to or from any Airport safely.

With glowing reviews we chose to stay here at the Palace. First off upon arrival there was nobody at the desk. Some others had opened the front door to let me in. I waited in a dark lobby for what seemed forever, actually about 40 minutes or more. I called my wife and said nobody was here and she said to call the phone numbers she sent me. I called and the desk phone rang and rang, then trying the other number I got an automated message. Apparently the second number was a third party reservation service which was of no help.

Then Gustavo appeared from upstairs, he apologized profusely and i asked whether there was an elevator to reach the rooms upstairs. He said no elevator but that our room was at ground level. The suite was very large, formerly a store on the corner of the block. It had been renovated in a somewhat non professional manner yet the size was remarkable. Gustavo offered to help me unload my luggage as I could only find a spot on a side street. Well we brought in the luggage and I still was amazed by the space.

Later that evening after dinner out, we returned to the hotel. Again the parking was on the street and I had to park almost 4 blocks away. In the room the first thing we noticed was a lack of a central heating system. We used the bathroom heater on full and brought a space heater out to the main room to attempt to warm this large space up. I will interject here that there were no instructions on what to do or how to heat this space. Apparently there was a window AC unit that may have had heating capabilities but we never did find out until we left.

Continental Breakfast - is nomenclature for coffee and bread and a little cereal. We found that we had to leave our room, go two doors down and then upstairs for a sparse breakfast. After a cup of coffee we left for Denny's to have a real breakfast.

Bottom line this was a mostly poorly constructed renovated store, into an enormous space. Little in terms of adequate outlets and heating options. A thorough explanation would have gone a long ways to at least being comfortable temperature wise. Instead with the challenges of parking loading and heating this space I have to give this two thumbs down. Maybe the Murray Hotel would have been more promising, though we do not know.

Very amazing personals.
Kids free, a lot to do with the kids.
The hotel organise a lot of activities for them.
The food is very good! A lot of varations!!
Also for the adults area you have activities organised

Everything here is really amazing I love everything here and staff are really helpful and sweet and everything is clean and the restaurant is amazing and food is fresh and really good staff are so friendly and really amazing

I thought this place was an outstanding value (I went through Booking.com and got a room for $50.00 and when I went to their website it said it was all sold out and the prices were higher).

It is a cool and funky slice of Western history. It was very clean and comfortable and although it doesn't have some amenities (like a coffee maker in the room) for the money you just can't beat it. And it's literally across the street from the Little Toad Creek Brewery and I had THE best grilled cheese sandwich ever! It was perfectly grilled with just the right amount of cheese, hatch green chilis, and high-quality bacon. Their side salad was also excellent. Amazing little western saloon

The location is right on Main Street downtown where all the shops and restaurants are. There's a bit of traffic noise and the hotel is old, with creaky floors and thin walls (and a creaky bed so lovers beware!), so it might be a little noisy in the evenings. When I was there they had very few patrons, so it was tolerable (and I'm pretty sensitive to noise).

Tip: Might want to bring good ear plugs if you really hate noise.

Our rooms were clean and comfortable. I've stayed here many times over the years, as I volunteer at the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and I stay in town on occasion. A very central location within the Historic District. Not real fancy, but one can imagine historic figures of the Old South West strolling these halls. You must be able to climb stairs to the rooms on the second floor. We were on an outing to the City of Rocks park and an astronomy show and didn't want to drive the long hall on Hwy 15 back to the Monument after the event.

The place is basically shut down. There is no one at the reception desk. Heat is a space heater in the room. The advertising says free breakfast. The first day there was coffee, some small packaged cake and small packages of cereal. The second day, there was no coffee. I told staff it would be nice to have coffee again. The next day, there was no coffee or breakfast material. Nothing. They could have easily put out an air pot or provided coffee cards to a nearby coffee shop. No housekeeping service for the 3 days we were there. It would have been nice to have the bed made and clean towels. No tolietries except a bar of soap and few plastic packets of shampoo that were almost impossible to open. The second day, there was water leaking from the ceiling in the reception area. Could not use any water or flush the toilet for about 8 hours. Lots of sawing noise. No offer of a discount or room upgrade despite many available (we may have been the only guests despite the sign on the door that the hotel was full). Absolutely no excuse for the poor service. Will not stay there again.

Three stars is based on the fact this is a quaint hotel - I knew this going in and so anticipated some of the issues that happens when you stay in a 'quaint' hotel - small rooms and small bathrooms, thin walls, bad parking, etc. This hotel has a good location, but Silver City is not a big city nor is there tons to do - it is a nice place to walk a few blocks, eat food that is decent, shop (vintage bookstores and clothing makes up the bulk, with not great hours for the most part so don't count on a lot of shopping) and maybe - if you are a museum person - to see some history. I loved the historical references around the city and cozy. The best part is that it is a good place to land before exploring the Gilas - not a destination city on its own beyond what I already described. Ok - I know this is a review of the hotel, not the city, but I say that because you don't "really" have to stay on this street to enjoy that stuff - you can stay elsewhere and come to this particular street to do the above mentioned.

CONS:
My biggest gripe about the hotel is that when I'm on vacation, I hate to be bombarded with political stuff. This hotel has political signage up which - depending on your political leanings - could make you happy or unhappy. In my case, I was very unhappy and would not have stayed here or given my money to this establishment.
So I am sharing a photo and you can decide for yourself if it makes a difference. My husbands biggest gripe was that he didn't fit on the toilet - he is tall and it was not a good seating arrangement for him lol. I shared a photo of that also. We aren't huge tv watchers but we were tired and thought we would watch - the TV had waves going thru it like old TVs used to have - it was a drag.

Other Cons: street parking, continental breakfast was just a bore and not appealing, coffee was not great (if not spending money on the food, some better coffee would make your guests happy :)) and there are two tables in the seating area so I was lucky and not many guests in the morning while I was there but if it was busy Id imagine it would not be so easy to sit in there and eat. I thought the price was alright but there was another hotel rated high on TA that was a bit less with higher ratings that I wish we had stayed at instead - so I"d price check on this one. A guy on one of the forums really pushes this hotel so I was swayed, but you will have to accommodate some things for the charm.

PROS:
Staff was nice. Definitely historic and charming. Shower was hot. Right on main street. Loved bar across the street (Toad).
Some people mentioned noise but the street noise wasn't bad when we were there - although we were not there on a weekend. Walls are thin, yes.

This is a quirky hotel/historical hotel with a lovely homely feel. Our room was spacious and we had a sitting room. It wasn't the best room configuration but we managed to make it work for us. The shower was good, the internet was fast and the breakfast was good. The staff were really friendly too. This is a good option if you want to stay in downtown Silver City!

This is great restored old fashion hotel. Lobby and rooms are very comfortable. Tea and cookies in the afternoon and a good on the go breakfast included. Right in the heart of downtown you can walk to everything.

We stayed in the Azurite Suite which was one of the two rooms at the Palace Hotel that has a private entrance right on Broadway St. It is two doors down from the main entrance of the hotel. What a find; and what fun. Our suite was perfect. It had a large living room with an eating area. The bedroom and bed was comfy and the bathroom was huge. Everything was furnished beautifully. Traffic noise was no problem after 6:00pm. We parked on the street and there was no issue with that arrangement either. We typically choose a well known hotel chain, but this time we wanted a different experience. So glad we made that smart decision. The ladies that run the hotel were gracious, kind and accommodating. Make a reservation, you won't be disappointed.

We were pleased with our stay at this hotel. It is bit in need of some TLC, but it was clean, comfortable, and the personnel are friendly. My only complaint was the room we had faced the breakfast area which is placed in the middle of the hall on the 2nd floor. So if there are a lot of folks at breakfast you will be up early. Since we were there to hike it was NBD. Can walk thru the town easily, that is the old town. Pretty cool.

I don't like to leave negative reviews and had reviewed this property more positively a few years ago. This review is for Room 60 - one of the small rooms. I had stayed in another small room before a few years ago, and except for the size of the room it was acceptable. It had a separate bathroom closed off by a door. Room 60 might be OK for one person, but is not good for 2 people. The portable air conditioner in the room cramped things so badly you could barely get to one side of the bed and was so loud that we couldn't use it even on the fan mode. The bathroom sink is right next to the bed and didn't even have a hook for the hand towel. The mattress seemed to be old as once my husband got in bed we kind of rolled to the middle and the pillows were the worst I have ever had. The shower is not behind a door - just on the other side of a partition that divides off the room. The one kudo I can give it is that the staff was all very friendly.

What can I say, the Palace is a Victorian Hotel, over a hundred years old and that in itself makes it a fun place to visit. Rooms were small, bathrooms were small, sink is in the bedroom. Is there places to plug in electronics, hardly, water pressure was questionable, air conditioning barely adequate. Parking is on the street and can be a problem. All this being said, it is a historical property that evokes the imagination. It is clean, had a great bed, plenty of pillows. A must experience when visiting Silver City. We will be back.

For the couple looking for a great place to stay with the easy access to good restaurants and brew pubs pick this hotel. I was a single traveler on this trip and it felt secure even though you have to park your car on the street. Worth the time and money by far.

We stayed overnight at this historic hotel built in the 1880's. The location was in the tourist heart of old town Silver City, with restaurants, art galleries, and museums a short walk away. The hotel has considerable Old West charm, the staff was quite helpful, and our room facing Broadway was quiet enough. The room was clean and had modern fixtures but also some quirks that were not unexpected in a building this old. As an example, the toilet in our room was a tight fit. The continental breakfast was adequate enough given the very reasonable price for the room.

My wife and I stayed in the McCray room which was spacious, clean and comfortable. The king bed had very nice linens and plenty of pillows. The door to our room opened directly onto the street which initially caused us a little concern, thinking we would hear pedestrians and car traffic throughout the night. But those fears were unfounded as after 10 o’clock the noise ordinance imposed by the town becomes amazingly effective. We actually slept in and missed the included breakfast. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

We spent one night here on our way to Gila Cliff Dwellings. Seemed nice for it's age. But it's an old hotel. Our room was VERY small. There was a busy intersection just outside our windows. Close street parking was difficult to find. Continental breakfast was convenient. OK for a one-time visit.

My family comes from South Africa, but we travel around the USA for work. We stayed at Palace hotel for 4 nights and it was very interesting. There is so much history all around you! We enjoyed the experience. I want to especially give credit to the two women who did the house keeping, they are very sweet ladies and did an amazing job at making the rooms comfortable. I used the makeup wipes and shampoo, without asking they gave me some extra since I used them each day. Very thoughtful. The lady and man that worked the front desk were very kind and helpful with tips about traveling. They both greeted us each time we saw them. If you like history and adventure i would definitely say it was worth the stay! If we ever come back to Silver City, Palace hotel will most likely be our pick! Thank you guys for a wonderful time!
