Great value for the price, ocean view room is amazing. The pool and hot tub are very nice, beach access is perfect. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
I had a great stay at the Palmetto Inn & Suites. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the WiFi worked great with no issues. Overall, everything was smooth and enjoyable—definitely a good place to stay right on the beach!
Pool was heated so that was nice. Nice view from the balcony. Room was clean but the beds were hard and pillows were harder 😂but, for the price, I would stay again..
Smooth stay, access to beach easy, staff are excellent...

We had a great stay and our room was clean. They are quite dated but clean which is a top priority for me. Wonderful spot on the ocean if you choose ocean view. Well worth the $$. Would stay again.
The box spring covers/ incasements/ was really dirty, and rooms a little outdated but for the price and location was completely worth it,we've stayed here on several occasions and we enjoy being on the beach.
I just did a quick overnight stay. I was able to get an early check in. Everything was great. Beautiful view of the gulf and sunset as well. I would stay again.
For the price and location and it was fantastic!
Only things were I weren’t able to check in till 8 due to the air show and late check outs. Also, the AC didn’t work. Not a huge deal because i opened my patio door for a good breeze.
I would definitely stay here again in the future
