Great location but the room (and bath) was very tired. Staff was super friendly. The weather wasn't great so we didn't use the pool or other amenities. Affordable and quiet though.

We stayed at the Palmer House years ago and this visit was not as good. The hotel appears run down, the English muffins for breakfast were stale and there was a man hanging outside of his room two doors down from us shirtless and smoking. The staff was lovely and very nice.

Property was nice, well maintained. Staff was helpful & friendly. Would definitely think twice before returning due to the fact that our suite was very outdated… the windows were dirty with imprints on them, something that could have been easily cleaned… bottom of mini-fridge was not wiped down from a previous guest… I don’t like leaving reviews like this but based on the fact that there are other similar reviews, I wonder if the owner cares or just can’t get housekeeping that know what they’re doing(?)
