What guests think

Travellers describe The Palms On Ocean as a budget, old‑school motel close to the beach, with friendly staff and simple rooms; stays range from comfortable and quiet to frustrating due to dated spaces and inconsistent maintenance or cleanliness.

Rooms are often dated and basic, though several mention spacious layouts or kitchenettes; some report loud window A/C or traffic noise. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many found rooms tidy with solid housekeeping, while others cited dirty floors, odors, stained towels, or pests. The small pool and on‑site convenience store are appreciated, but occasional pool maintenance issues, nearby construction affecting views or causing noise, and early check‑in cutoffs or limited office hours have caused inconvenience. Expect a simple, value‑focused stay.

Everything was updated and worked perfectly, very clean and spacious. Pool was excellent, gated for privacy and you were still able to smell the ocean. I would definitely recommend The Palms to stay at, I'm positive that I will stay here again.

I will never use Travelocity again. This place was unacceptable, I only stayed one night and they refused a credit. Once I saw the mouse droppings I had to leave. Parking was a joke. 3 partial rolls of toilet paper. Dirty Isn’t the word. Feet actually struck to floor. Pool was so dirty I couldn’t go in it. Many other things wrong.

For the price, a clean and comfortable lottle place, can walk to the beach and a convenient store where you checkin. Best hotel I've stayed at recently in that pruce range.

This place was nice ..it was across from beach.. now its not all pretty in the room.. so if youre planning on being romantic this is not the place! The room we had we used only to shower and sleep.. beds were comfy.. new decor would be nice.. looked and reminded me of back in the 80s motel.... take your own shampoo and toiletries.. i think there was only hand soap provided... but the pool was awesome!!

Very nice property with gorgeous landscaping you can tell they care about. Customer service and check in was easy inside of the bodega. Pool was well maintained and the room was clean and very spacious. We were impressed with our stay and would definitely stay again!

It is one of the less expensive places in Pompano so….several issues surfaced during our 3 day stay. Management only on site from about 10 til 7. Rooms are very tired, particularly bathroom. Damp towels not replaced on second night ignoring our request. Construction across the street is noisy. Pool shocked in the morning of second day making it unusable. Weather was perfect, beach close by was perfect.

You get what you pay for for this motel, that’s fine with me. It was a great budget stay. The linens were comfortable and clean, but don’t expect a super nice facility. The bathroom definitely needed to be updated, minor maintenance things like the tub missing a plug and grout being stained or needing to be replaced, and major updates like the drywall in the ceiling falling apart and being water damaged. But for less than $100, I can’t complain because it was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the air conditioning worked great. The location is nice, in a decent area and we were able to walk right to the beach in under five minutes. Check-in was easy at the little convenience store and we had no problems.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Gave information on how to best get around pompano beach with the ride circuit app. Room and pool was clean. Downside it’s a little far of a walk to get to the restaurants, but using the ride circuit app was simple, and free, they do except tips. Overall we had a great stay.

The floor and the pool were dirty. We had a studio and we had to clean the dishes before using it. They did not refill the coffee and the cups for the coffee. All electronics (TV, microwave, toaster and coffee machine) were not plugged and their cable was to short to plug them without moving them.

The room was dirty with weird stains in the bathroom and on the towels. The bathroom didn't have a working light so we had to bring a flashlight into the bathroom after dark. The window screen in the bathroom was broken and kept falling out. The towel rod in the bathroom was broken and the shower curtain didn't stretch the length of the tub nor did it stay in place and needed to be constantly readjusted. There were weird stains inside the glass door of the microwave. The air conditioner kept changing the temperature on its own. Every time we stopped by the reception office to tell them about our concerns there was a sign up stating they'd be back in 10 minutes.

The pros: It’s clean for the most part. The beds clean and pressed and the housekeeping is great at making the room presentable, disinfected, and the toilet and sink are very clean. Cons: towels need replacing for sure, they’re clean but are clearly showing its wear. A new paint job also wouldn’t hurt, the shower we had in room 6 could use a remodel. Ceiling tiles, a couple of them, could use some replacing as well and walls should be repainted. Overall it was great for the price and location. I would stay there again personally but if they fixed the little signs of aging, this would for SURE be a hidden gem

We ended up not staying here because we couldn't get there in time to check in. Check in had to be before 7 pm and we would have had to check in around 11 pm. My fault that I didn't see that until after I had booked. Also I had to eat a $100 plus charge as it was non refundable.

Owner was very nice and accommodating. He went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Room was dated but very clean. He made a recommendation for dinner and it didn’t disappoint. We were there for a scuba diving excursion and were approximately 2 miles from the boat launch. We will definitely stay here again.

This was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had. I booked a 4-night stay, but because I couldn’t check in before 7 PM on the first day, the rude and unprofessional hotel owner canceled my entire reservation without warning. To make things even worse, they refused to issue a refund and ignored all my attempts to contact them—they won’t even answer the phone! I reached out to Expedia, expecting some kind of support, but they told me that since they had already deposited the money into the owner’s account, there was nothing they could do. No refund, no alternative solution, and not even a formal complaint report against the hotel. Absolutely no effort to resolve the issue. Both the hotel and Expedia showed a complete lack of professionalism and customer care.

We love those 1950s style hotels. Small, affordable, and tons of character. Location of Palms is perfect. We’ve stayed in Delray, Deerfield, and Boca. Compared to these places, Pompano seems to be undergoing some gentrification. Entire blocks are being torn down and high rise developments are going in. The beaches were pretty, the public areas were exceptionally maintained. Tons of restaurants and coffee spots. The staff at Palms was very attentive. The grounds looked freshly updated and having a convenience store on site was great. The beach was easily accessible even though there is a 20 story condo high rise going in across the street. Be aware there is no ocean view anymore and pics should be updated on Expedia, but we would stay again.

It's a motel not a five star Marriott so keep that in mind. The location is excellent with a 5 minute walk to the beach. The staff and owners are very nice. We didn't use the pool but others did. It could use so deep cleaning but that said we would love to return when Trump is finished picking on us Canadians. So see you in 3 years I guess.
