Nice hotel. The least expensive room is very nice and upgrades are necessary. The breakfast is exceptional and it is free. Overall the people are very nice. The phone in my room didn't work otherwise all is well.

This place was so lovely in design and style but what shined the most for me was the staff. Bianca was so gracious and kind making my early check in easy. John and another lovely blonde gal at the front desk were quick to meet me with a smile and helpful disposition. When I’m back I will only stay at the Palmetto!

Nice but hot room
This is a cute place close to popular dining and sights, however the air conditioning in our room was not quite working which made for an uncomfortable sleep.
