Property is nice but very overpriced for what it is. The best asset of the property is the location. There are so many hotels around the same price that offer better amenities. They also charge $55 for valet on top of a $600 room rate. Just not worth it.

The only problem I had during our stay was (on Tues afternoon, I believe) a tour of LOUD 20 people right outside my door on the 5th floor! They were out there for about 20 min! Good thing I wasn't trying to rest!! NOT SMART MARKETING.You're annoying the guests you CURRENTLY have! Our room was GREAT! Very nicely decorated and very clean!!! Loved the large shower and view of the city! The staff were very friendly and the lobby is spectacularly decorated! Great restaurant next door and walkable to French market. I would DEFINITELY stay here again!!

This hotel was amazing! My sister and I were looking for a quick escape from up North and decided to stay at the Palmetto. It is located near everything and is a newer property. The price was a little bit higher than other hotels, but it was completely worth it! We were kindly greeted upon arrival and offered a complimentary welcome cocktail. They also provided fresh water and lemonade. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. In the evening, the bar next to the lobby brought in many nice people and the bartenders were friendly. There were so many restaurants, shopping, and the waterfront a short walk away. The next morning, breakfast was simple but exactly what we needed…grits and fresh fruit, fresh juices, coffees and tea. We only stayed three days, and we are both already planning to go back. Thank you Palmetto!
