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.

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.

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.

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.
