We stayed 3 times at The Palmer. The attached Restaurant was quick, efficient and had some healthy and some decadent options. The rooms and ammenities are basic but comfortable. The free laundry facilities were nice but got a bit crowded for mid trip washing.

We were upgraded to a 3 bedroom apartment (much more than we needed) and were able to really enjoy our stay with a late checkout. Breakfast buffet was lovely. The pool was immense and the place very comfortable and easy to get to/from. Loved it.
