Property and beach area was very clean. Very limited parking at the hotel structure itself but lots of parking directly across the street at Palmetto's affiliated facility.

The location is excellent. Beachfront room was absolutely gorgeous. $14 resort fee was not disclosed at the time of Expedia booking .when I inquired about what’s included in resort fee, the answer was access to the pool, etc. Temperature was 40° and I don’t think they should’ve charged this. I requested for an hour late check out, but was denied.

Nice property; would stay again

Check in was easy. Rooms were spacious and beds pretty comfortable. Our only complaint is that the weather stripping under the door needs to be updated. It was really windy the night we were there and the sounds of the wind gusts made the loudest almost screaming sound all night. We finally put towels under the door, having to press the towel well under the door to make the sound go away.

Overall, we enjoyed our 3 week stay at Palmetto Beachfront Hotel. We had an end room with beautiful ocean view, double bed room with full size refrigerator. Staff were all friendly and accommodating. Interior of room could use some updating, bathroom, carpet, etc. Dresser had several holes in top where TV had once been. Room and bathroom were clean. The housekeeping schedule seemed random, but front desk always accommodating to provide guest with towels, coffee packets, bathroom tissue, etc. Elevator interiors could use some replacement flooring. Overall, good experience, we would stay here again.

Rooms were excellent, but I missed seeing the extra resort fees necessary at check-in. So was taken back at the time. After check-in , only thing we noticed was parking situation, had to park across the street 90% of time. But these issues would not prevent us from returning. In all likelyhood we will be back next year, we enjoyed the stay & the room.

Wonderful stay on the beach, with gorgeous weather. We left our door to the balcony open so we could hear the constant rhythms of the ocean. Enjoyed stunning sunset views from our balcony. The kitchen was so convenient for eating healthier meals. Will definitely be back!

This is a very nice budget/friendly hotel. My rating is based on the price. If I were paying a lot for this, my rating would be very different. But, for what they are offering at the price they are offering it for, it’s well worth the money. To be beachfront with such nice pools, spacious and clean rooms at this price is wonderful. The pools were especially great and the room was huge. Things inside the room were not high-end, but neither was the price. So I was absolutely good with that. Service was great.
