10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay at The Palmetto Hotel. The hotel and its decor is beautiful. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have encountered and the shower had great water pressure. Great location, excellent bar and drinks (especially the espresso martini). I would most definitely recommend staying here, especially for a girls trip."
