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.

It took less than three minutes to check in. Valet was seamless. Room was absolutely gorgeous. All staff was exactly what you expect from a boutique hotel and more. We will definitely stay here again.

The Palmetto Hotel is the epitome of Southern hospitality. Not only is it a beautiful boutique hotel but the location cannot be beat. The hotel manager Brandy went out of her way to try and make everything as perfect as it could be. We’ll definitely be back!!

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.

Location is great and rooms are finished nicely. I was disappointed to be charged a resort fee as I thought that was included in Expedia pricing. But hotel staff were very nice in explaining that

Beautiful hotel and walking distances to many attractions in the city. Staff did the minimum for room cleaning and didn’t restock fridge. Also, employees seemed put out when you asked for anything.
