“The Best Western Palace Hotel & Casino strikes me as a mixed bag, really. The casino and health club appear to be highlights, offering modern facilities, but other areas seem to need a refresh, especially the rooms. Still, its location on Douglas's promenade is undeniably prime, and that access to the beach and sea views goes a long way.”
