The Palms

Palms by Hosteeva reads more like a furnished apartment stay than a traditional hotel, with a setup that works best when your group wants space, privacy, and a predictable routine. Individual units can vary, but the overall experience stays consistent: you check in, get settled, and run your own schedule without relying on front-desk timing for every small need.

Most travelers choose this style of property for the practical advantages. Separate living areas make it easier to coordinate with roommates or teammates, and a real dining table gives you a place to eat, work, or spread out plans without turning the bed into a workstation. In-unit kitchens also change the math for multi-day trips, because breakfast and late dinners do not require reservations or a group text chain.

Tech and coordination tend to be straightforward here. Hosteeva-managed rentals commonly use digital check-in instructions and remote support workflows, which helps when arrivals are staggered. Wi-Fi is typically provided in-unit for everyday use, and the extra square footage makes it easier for one person to take a call while others are getting ready or winding down. When multiple units are booked for a single trip, Engine.com can handle the room block organization and billing structure so the trip lead is not chasing confirmations and updates across different threads.
