Sky-Palace Inn & Suites Wellington

My two sons and I stayed here and the staff was friendly upon checking in. Our room was nice and warm even though it was below freezing outside. It was clean and the mattresses and bedding were very comfortable. You can't beat their price!!

I stayed here on Oct 7, 2022, while traveling From South Texas to Iowa for work. I am an older female, traveling alone, so I really look around where I chose to stay. Working on the road, I stay in hotels/motels a lot. I will admit, when I pulled into the parking lot I was concerned. There were no cars in the parking lot and it looked nothing like the pictures online. There are two other hotels, right there, and I quickly looked them up online. Those reviews were less than favorable (noise, theft, etc) so I took a chance and went into this place. Yes, the lobby had a "smell". The owners are of Indian decent and it smelled like Indian food. They live there...so it smells like what they cook. The man that met me at the desk was VERY nice and I could hear his baby's giggles from the next room. I was extremely tired and he was very accommodating. Compared to the other two hotels (with bad reviews) with very crowded parking lots and sketchy people hanging out nearby, the price was spot on for a quick one night stay on my way to somewhere else. I paid for my room and drove around to my door. I like being able to park right in front of the room door and not having to trek in and out through a lobby. First thing I ALWAYS do is check for bed bugs, before I carry anything inside. Then I check the cleanliness of the toilet and shower. It was fine. It's an older motel so it's NOT a HILTON....but I don't want to pay HILTON prices to stay somewhere for 8 hours. So...I pick my battles. By Midnight, there were two other cars in the parking lot. I got inside and settled. I am a smoker so I go outside. I rolled the desk chair outside and felt completely safe sitting outside, mostly alone. Check in and out was a breeze. Nobody messed with my vehicle. I slept well. It was very inexpensive. I had one complaint but I left and said nothing. The room I was in had no hot water in the morning for my shower. I let it run for about 20 minutes, just in case. It was still lukewarm. I took a cold shower. I slept very well, so I needed that wake up call, anyway. Again, picking my battles. I leave Texas for Iowa again in the morning. I hope I can make it to this place for my first night stay. I WILL check the hot water this time, though, and I will state that when checking in, so the owner knows what my expectations are...cause it's more winter now and I'm too old for cold winter showers. There is a Casey's gas station (they have breakfast foods) across the road and a McDonald's next to that. It's an easy on and off the main highway and it's pretty flat if there is inclement weather. I had a good experience at this Motel. I hope you do, as well. I will leave another review if my next stay is any different.
