It was great for the price. Staff was very friendly. Beds were decent. We stayed 5 nights and slept decent and so did our children. Really couldn’t beat the price for what we got. The kids loved the pool. We were bummed the tiki bar was closed but I guess it opens in the summer. The beach was great and the water was clear. We chose to stay here to be close to my in laws across the road. It was located in a good place

Night staff needs way more training. Rooms with kitchens/dishwashers should have dishes. Mattresses need to be updated. Wish the tiki bar area would open (2nd stay in 4 mths) Location & price are great.

This was a great location, with beachfront, balcony and a large pool. The grounds were beautiful. It is an older building with great potential. With more serious renovation it could easily go from a three star hotel to a five star.

My family has stayed at the Palmetto Inn for over 25 years. Eventhough they changed hands during those years, the newer people have kept things great with a few upgrades.
