Staff were rude-the cleaning person a met us leaving our room, asked if we were checking out. We told him no. About 15 minutes later(9:47am) knocked on our door and told us we had to check out at 11am. Our room was right across from the elevator- it was nonstop noise until 4:30am, sounded like everyone was right in our room, even with a constant fan on.

I did not like the fact that the boardwalk had steps up & down. We had a wagon but luckily, we were able to use the board walk at the side of the Palms which was flat and easier to pull our wagon out to the beach.

The property itself is ok, and the overall stay was comfortable. They don't offer room service as there aren't any restaurants on property. The wait staff was ok. There is definitely room for improvement.

Not overly impressed

The man who checked us in was abrupt and unfriendly Really gave us a bad first impression Breakfast was minimal. Cleaning staff was friendly. Not the cleanest place but at to no fault of staff. Just not kept up. Beds were comfortable. Towels readily available. Pool area was small. Heavy on the chlorine.

Parking is atrocious here. Car got super dirty because we had to park in a gravel municipal lot. There was broken door handles on the third floor stair doors. The first floor door was missing in the back stairs on the beach side allowing anyone to enter the building. Our room door had a sticking point so the only way to close it was to slam it and it was very hard to open. Room 321. The pool was very clean and well maintained, but has limited lounge area. Breakfast at this hotel is not much, and surrounding breakfast options are limited within walking distance. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Great property, but we discovered a stain on both sheets the first night and the front desk wasn’t able to locate a new fitted sheet. Housekeeping fixed it first thing in the morning.
