First visit to Palmer House
Very nice hotel. Beautiful and historic. Was turned onto this property by Great Value Vacations. Only complaint was no valet was present when I pulled up and it was so hard to order room service; too reliant on using an iPad and not the phone. But still a very nice hotel.

The hotel is beautiful and full of history . We thouroughly enjoyed leaning all about it. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Its a really busy place with many events going on but everyone was kind, patient, and seemed to enjoy doing what they do. We dud havd a smaller room than i was hoping for and the bathroom was very small and could have used some updating, but all in all we really enjoyed it and would definately stay again!

Friendly, efficient location and staff.
Friendly and efficient staff provide a customer centered experience. The building itself is an architectural treasure worth exploring. Its location is convenient.
Security staff, front desk, were very helpful, as well as all support staff for our three night stay. Would go back to same location.

Birthday Surprise was Egg-cellent!
Our hotel stay was magnificent. Beauty everywhere I looked. Our room was so cosy and comfortable. All our meals were scrumptious! Staff was very helpful with everything. The hotel and room were spotless.
One thing to suggest: softer toilet tissue
