The Palms Hotel

Lots of street noise in early morning. Refrigerater didn’t work but I never brought it to attention of staff. Parking is mostly in the street.

The property and our room were about as clean as you can get. The pool area and bar/breakfast area was a great place to hang out. We simply liked everything about this hotel. We will definitely be back.

Secure your parking place on the street before checking in. Other than that, you can’t ask for more.

It is old but well cared for. Our room had a balcony we could sit at. Pool area very nice and breakfast was good.

Shower water never got hot. Front door had 1/2” gap so the AC was not able to keep the humors out. Room was damp. Great breakfast, pool area and tiki was very nice.

We loved this place. Our room was on the small side but tasteful and the pool and bar was right outside our door. The patio furniture by the pool was comfortable and the breakfast was the best of our 3 week trip. The only complaint we had was parking, but we lucked out and procured a spot close by. Duval Street very walkable from our location.

I was going to give this place 3 stars had I been contacted by the manager as I was promised. I stayed almost a month ago and still no return phone calls. Why? Because we had no working AC for 24 hours in 78-80 degree weather. Not only that, but it was putting out hot air and not working It was truly almost suffocating. Nothing was addressed, nor were we given another room, discount, anything. A stranger appeared at noon the next day informing us of broken AC in 4 rooms. Just had to “deal with it.” I never complain because its vacation and I know things malfunction, but for what I spent, not worth it. My fiancé and I stayed the beginning of January. It is more of a motel feel than hotel. I honestly wish I spent more money on an airbnb. The walls are paper thin. Our neighbors (with small child) were very loud, but at the smallest noise in our room, would bang on the wall. The shower is also very small. The shower just about spits enough water to shower. The room is also not that big. Bed, tv, mini fridge. No elevators, which isn’t a big deal at the end of the day, but we had a ton of luggage and the ramps and flooring were uneven and not easy to transport on. Housekeeping was great. Flooring was being done, along with other very loud work at 7-8 am on a Saturday. The young, male bartender was very nice. Walk to Duval is about 20-30 minutes. There also is a pool. It’s a shame ******* advertises this as a “favorite.” Read the reviews before booking!

Our room was very small. The mattress was bowed and higher at the foot-end. The toilet gurgled and the water would drain from the bowl. The AC is very noisy. Avoid Room 101A.

The continental breakfast was out of sausage 45 minutes before it was over. It was an unorganized buffet around the tiki hut. The hotel is overpriced.
