A stay at the Palace Hotel completes your feeling of being transported to another era in Port Townsend. No elevators, no air conditioning, and furnishings in period pieces. We stayed in Miss Lou which has a very comfortable king bed on the top floor (think stairs!) and a view out over the water. It has a shower stall in the... More

The good: the staff at the front desk are excellent - maps, recommendations, do you need a hair dryer or iron, do you need an umbrella, etc. We stayed in Captain Tibbal's room, and it was large and comfortable. There were two full size beds with enough thick blankets to keep even those with popsicle toes nice and warm. Nice... More

We stayed in the Miss Marie room (my personal favourite) and had a wonderful stay. As kearnybird said, they leave the room doors open when not rented so I checked out almost all of them over the course of three days. Miss Marie is on the second floor front corner, giving lots of light from the floor to ceiling corner... More

The Palace has been lovingly restored and is filled with early 20th century decor. It's like staying in a museum with modern conveniences. The staff was extremely accomodating. Bob was especially helpful and courteous. We will be back.

I just spent 2 nights in this hotel and was EXTREMELY happy with my choice. Check-in was quick and easy. The hotel has no elevators but the desk clerk happily carried my bags to the 2nd floor. I was very impressed when he addressed me by name the next night when I had a question. When I came back later... More

The Palace Hotel is beautifully unique. I stayed in the Miss Kitty room, the corner room with a view. I'm so glad I found this place! It's not your usual hotel. It has a history and much character. Each room is different....and I appreciate that the hotel leaves the room doors open when the rooms aren't in use. You can... More

I've stayed at the Palace Hotel everytime I go to Port Townsend...why change when they consistently offer such great service from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. Stay in a different room every visit and by the time you've tried them all, it will seem like a brand new experience when you begin the room rotation again. Whenever there... More

Although we stayed in the pet-friendly room which I believe isn't as grand as the other 18, it was still delightful. Just love the history of the building and owners care for the hotel. The bed was comfortable, the claw foot tub gorgeous, the sofa great to look at not so much to sit in. As we were on the... More

What a lovely old hotel. it is difficult to keep an old hotel looking great, but they do a fine job: everything is clean and in good condition. All the hotel rooms are named after ladies of the evening. Our room Miss Kitty upstairs was surprisingly spacious, had a king bed, a lovely old refurbished bathroom yet all the amenities... More
