Southern charm

Thank you for an amazing stay at Palmetto! It was such a beautiful boutique hotel. We loved it! It have such southern charm and vibes. Loved the decor inside, especially the chandelier! There was a bar with a super awesome bartender who served great drinks! We got checked in and our room was lovely and spacious. Bathrooms were huge and the shower was perfect! Bed was super comfortable! In the morning we had fresh juice and drinks and although we only stayed one night we absolutely loved it. It’s also in a perfect location so close to everything !

Great hotel with small toilet rooms.

The location was great. Easy walk to every where. Hotel was nicely decorated and clean. Rooms was nice and clean. The only downside to the whole hotel was size of the room where toilet was in the bathroom. It is small. No room at all. So if a big person it will be very hard to use.
