“Thank God for the Palm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We've been spending our winter vacation at the Palm for the past ten years. We always meet my brother and his g/f there and spend the week enjoying the island. The Palm is not fancy, but I can guarantee you that the chain hotels will not treat you like family as they do here at the Palm. There is something so quaint about the "old girl." The location is amazing, the view breathtaking and the staff would literally give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it! The food next door is always great and the sunsets from the bar or the rooftop at the hotel are as good as it gets. There is no better value than the Palm Pavilion available anywhere on the island. My wife and I have always said that if they ever tear the Palm down to build another highrise, that'll be our last trip to Clearwater Beach!

“Excellent For Us !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Well this property is perfect for us. I just booked it for the "forth" time. We are middle age, don't like a crowd & sure don't like walking forever to get to the beach. True the rooms are not 5 star large luxury suites but we don't go to the beach to stay a room. They are clean, cozy and perfectly located. No parking cost, no fighting for parking spots & a fantastic staff. There are fabulous eating spots within walking distance. You don't have to dress up for these. We have never been disappointed. We will continue our stay here for years to come. Looking forward to this August.

Room Tip: We like the first floor. No stairs.

“depends on what you're looking for”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

If you are looking for something fancy, 5 star, or exciting, this hotel may not be a good fit, but the Palm Pavilion Inn was EXACTLY right for us. The pool is small and located in an awkward place (kind of out of the way and across a small ally), the rooms are very small, and the frills of a swanky hotel are definitely lacking. However, the staff is positively stellar, everything was very clean, the whole place is adorable, and the location is just perfect. You'll feel right at home, you'll be provided comfortable parking reserved in a location that is usually bumper to bumper, and best of all you'll be within walking distance from a lively shopping strip, delicious restaurants, and mere seconds from having your toes in the sand...and for a reasonable price!!

Room Tip: There are no elevators, so you may want a first floor room. However, there is a restaurant directly...

“Funky and Adorable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Stayed here Saturday night (1/21) prior to a half-marathon on Sunday. Was a little apprehensive, but made the reservation based on other reviews. This place was so cute, a real gem - old Florida, but totally clean and updated room. We had a flat screen tv, ceiling fan, table/chairs, refrigerator, safe, hair dryer and toiletries in updated bathroom. Beds were comfortable and other travelers were quiet (or great soundproofing). Location is beach side (with restaurant right on the beach), just a block or two from the main shopping area. Has a great sun deck which we enjoyed Saturday evening, while listening to the live music from the restaurant. Can't wait to go back in late Spring when we can take the time to enjoy the amenities. You won't be sorry if you decide to reserve here.

Room Tip: None of the rooms have balconies, but there's a great sun deck.
