Glory days gone.

Not the same Palmetto of years past. The property has seen neglect. With dirty hot tub and carpets, rusty door frames, filthy elevators,and loud room air conditioners, the motel is looking seedy. They are now charging about double the price with all the added fees. 2 nights ran about 360 bucks. They call it a "Resort." They need to work harder to earn that title.

If I could give 0 stars I would. First of all, the room we got was not what we expected. They have a separate building across the street from the main hotel that they put us in which was not beachfront. The room was dirty, the toilet was not flushing properly because of low pressure, there was still trash that we found under the bed from previous bookers, the ceiling tiles were coming off, and some lights were not working. We asked for extra bath towels twice and each time they said they didn’t have any. The first time they just didn’t give us any towels, and the 2nd time they still didn’t have towels and gave us beach towels instead. The indoor pool was dirty and nasty it felt like a swamp. The pictures were false advertising. We were severely disappointed. I would NOT recommend staying at this cheap hotel. They also tried to tell me I didn’t pay for my stay when they had already charged my card when I checked in. Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. I’m surprised there weren’t any bugs.

I have been coming to Palmetto for at least the last 20 years. When Patti owned the property it was never dirty. Elevators were nasty, even our balcony had some trash when we arrived. The pool area and hot tub were not cleaned while we were there. Years ago, everyday one guy would take hose and at least wash them down. Didn't happen the 3 days we were there. Short guy did move chairs around and picked up trash. Didn't feel good about using either one. Love your place but not real happy about this particular stay.

I am so glad we stayed here! This is a great place for the cost. No issues with staff, all were kind and helpful. It is true that the drinks they had available at the bar were very random, not a full bar. I think that I thought there was like a cafe of some sort also before going, but I only saw ice cream there and no food menu.. so I'm unsure if you can get food on the premises other than the vending machines. Yes the property was dated but it was spacious and clean. I didn't understand why cleaning services didn't take care of the room on the 3rd day as it said in the paperwork. The room was spacious, the pool was warm and fun, the beach was beautiful and nowhere near crowded, and my son and I had a BALL! For this price and beachfront during spring break, I would absolutely do it again!
