“Good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2013

Pros
View. Asked for upper level when reservation was made and they came through.
Price would be reasonable even if it wasn't on the beach
Location. Need a car but traffic isn't too bad and food and shopping are not far away.
Elevator. Fast

Cons
No wireless Internet connection in rooms. Big deal for me but not everyone would agree
Pool patio area. Too many gates and fences. Must be a reason for it but isn't user friendly

Rooms was clean and spacious but I would rate it as just OK.
Folks at the front desk seemed to enjoy working there.

Room Tip: Higher up is better as far as the view is concerned.

“Great Views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

Had a very nice room (every room on the south side has a great view of the Gulf), that was clean and spacious. The only funky thing is the window in the bathroom - I would rather have a fan, since it was chilly during the stay, and to make sure the mirror wasn't steamed over had to have the window open, which means getting chilly. Also, not sure why, but the maid never left a bath mat - now I'm pretty sure you don't want standing water on your floors - leave a bath mat.

Overall, the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Room Tip: Stay on the gulf side.

“Love The Palmetto”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013 via mobile

Stayed at the Palmetto Feb. 10th thru the 16th. Loved it! Beautiful clean building, nice and friendly staff. Great views from the balcony of beautiful beaches. Easy walk to Pier Park or to the Pier. Noticed the staff working and cleaning around the pool area each day. They we always friendly and willing to have a short conversation. We plan on returning next year.

“Unbelievable Bargain (off season) -- Stunning Views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

We visited Palmetto Inn in January, which is off season. This was the most amazing value I can imagine. The property is right on the beach and has a wonderful pool. The room had a balcony with an ocean view. There was a kitchenette in the room as well. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They have a coffee machine in the room but there is also free fresh brewed coffee in the lobby all the time. I can't say what this property is like during the high season but if you go during off season I can't imagine you will find a better place to stay for the price.

Room Tip: We were on the 7th floor. I believe all the rooms have an ocean view. I can't really think of...

“Awesome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013 via mobile

The Palmetto Inn and Suites is a gem. As other reviews have stated rooms are a little out dated. Everything is clean and well cared for. Upon our arrival the staff at the front desk were very professional and sweet. Views are awesome and the beach is beautiful. Prices were reasonable.
