Our room was lovely and I am so grateful to the staff who left champagne for my daughter's 26th birthday. Everyone was absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Wish I could make this 4.5 stars - not quite a five-star stay. Loved the location and the room was well appointed. But our deluxe king room was smaller than the photos make it look. And we were disappointed by the furnishings - wish there were drawers to unpack suitcases into since we stayed for several days. But besides that, it was a nice stay and the front desk staff were all great.

The Palmetto Hotel is clean, the staff is welcoming, and the property smells wonderful. However, the breakfast could use improvement, and my room was smaller than expected and lacked a mini fridge.

Everything was amazing! The check in and valet processes were smooth and the complimentary cocktail was a great touch. I don’t typically go to a hotel’s bar, but the cocktail was so good that I had to check it out. Not only was the bartender attentive and kind, she also makes a killer drink! The interior design was also breathtaking and has made me consider redoing a few rooms in my home! There are so many amazing things about the Palmetto, but these parts all stood out to me.
