Had a wonderful one-night stay at the James Royal Palm. Service is definitely 5 star! Melody at the Front Desk went out of her way to check us in early and gave us a choice of several different rooms. She even showed them all to us! Ended up with a great oceanview room on the 14th floor. All this and I got the room on Hotwire! The location was wonderful.
Even saw Owen Wilson in the exercise room and walking around the property. The bell staff were great as well. We didn't want for anything.
Only one little hiccup and that was early the next morning. Had the "Do Not Disturb" sign on our door but a member of housekeeping knocked asking if we called for more towels. We did not. Also, across the hall was a family who left their two little boys in the room by themselves as they went out clubbing. They were crying saying, Don't go, Mommy." The next morning, the same little boys decided to race up and down the 14th-floor hallway with their dad. All were yelling and screaming. Was going to call down to the front desk but by the time I decided to, they left. A big plus at the James Royal Palm is the checkout time is 2 p.m.
Would love to return and stay longer.
