First time staying at the Palmetto Hotel. Couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. The receptionist and on duty guest services was exceptional. Noli went above and beyond on making my wife and I feel at home and help start our Wedding Anniversary weekend with such a great first time experience. Thank you so much Noli and thank Palmetto Hotel for making our 10th Wedding Anniversary weekend such a special one.

The good: the hotel was nicely decorated and the signature cocktails are amazing. The bad: parking is ridiculously expensive and I swear there is 0 sound proofing in this hotel. Breakfast was nothing extraordinary, but it was good. Overall I did expect more from this hotel being high end and pricey.
