Wasn’t what I expected

Bathroom wasn’t very clean the room looked clean and so did the bathroom until you actually looked at the shower walls and stuff. You would think for around $200 a night it would have been clean and have shampoo, conditioner, and breakfast!

The only thing I didn't like was that there was little space for parking, and it was not very convenient to cross the road for this. Otherwise, everything is not bad at all, considering the cost

It is one of the older smaller hotels, it was basic not real fancy and that’s why I like it easy beach access you don’t have 30 floors to climb up or down on an elevator and wait.

We had a great time! The facility was clean and the pool was clean. The service was good! The room and pool both could use some updating, but that did not take away from our trip. Overall, I would stay here again.

Palmetto is a yes!

Check in was easy and informative. The room was in good condition and beds were comfortable. The room was very quiet. We never heard people above or around us- only storms. The view from the balcony was beautiful day and night. Elevators from the lobby area are quick. Pools and hot tub were sparkling clean. Plenty of self parking across the street from the hotel. There is an unloading area directly in front of the hotel and plenty of luggage carts were available. The small shop in the lobby area sells souvenirs , ice cream and anything you might need for the beach-it was very convenient.

Disappointed

This was our 22 year wedding anniversary trip and it was by far our worst ever stay at Palmetto from not getting toiletries we needed to them not cleaning our room on a daily basis which is standard, or we thought it was! We will not be staying at Palmetto in the future!
