Classy hotel
We liked everything about the Palmetto: nice decor, friendly staff, comfortable and clean room, yummy complimentary drink and chocolate, and excellent breakfast options. We had dinner at the Ferry Landing, which was an easy minute walk toward the water. Will definitely consider staying here again.

The service was lacking. The price was ridiculous for what you get. There was no seating in the room except for the bed. The shower curtain was not practical as everything in the bathroom got wet. There was loud music playing all night.

Parking for the hotel was valet only. Smaller the vehicle the better-small SUV max sixze. I had a full size truck, which I was not comfortable with using valet service. Cost of valet was also pricey.Instead, a public parking garage was close enough (next door) to use, and almost 1/3 daily price of valet.
