Beautiful buildings and magical gardens, but very poorly managed and exceedingly difficult to gain access even with tickets. The queues are long (2 hours + both days I tried to visit) and you are left standing outside in the elements for all of it. I can't comment on the interior as despite having a 2 day pass I never actually made it into the palace itself as the queues were just too long. Possibly worth a visit off season, but definitely a waste of money for the palace tickets in the summer.
