“In the heart of it all.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

Although we stayed in the pet-friendly room which I believe isn't as grand as the other 18, it was still delightful. Just love the history of the building and owners care for the hotel. The bed was comfortable, the claw foot tub gorgeous, the sofa great to look at not so much to sit in. As we were on the Taylor St side we had quite a bit of noise for the patrons leaving the jazz club, but it was over in a few minutes and went right back to sleep. The location is fantastic, park your car and walk everywhere, all the shops, restaurants and waterfront. Really enjoyed our lunch at Sirens, dinner at Waterfront Pizza and shopping at the Clothes Horse.

Room Tip: Taylor St side room is noisy when the jazz club lets out.

“Lovely Grand Lady”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

What a lovely old hotel. it is difficult to keep an old hotel looking great, but they do a fine job: everything is clean and in good condition. All the hotel rooms are named after ladies of the evening. Our room Miss Kitty upstairs was surprisingly spacious, had a king bed, a lovely old refurbished bathroom yet all the amenities of wireless internet, tv etc. The hotel was quiet (did not hear ANY noise at all, maybe it's the quiet season?) and it had a lovely feel. Great, welcoming staff so helpful: thank you Bob, for your advice. We recommend and will return. Only small nit (and it is small) my husband booked the room because it had a wood stove / fireplace. Except there was no wood, and don't think it is ever used.

Room Tip: Miss Kitty has a view of the water across the street, a king bed, large and spacious. Wood burning s...

“A hotel with a difference”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011 via mobile

The Palace is a restored hotel themed to take you back 100 years. If you want something different from the usual cookie cutter hotel chain, this is a great place to stay.

It has a lovely warm feeling, is full of character and the staff are very helpful.

This is a delightful place to stay and if you're looking for nostalgia and a great, romantic setting this is perfect.

“Nice hotel but room was noisy.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary. Our room was upstairs and was very nice. However across the street was a bar/nightclub which was playing VERY loud music. This aseriously diminished our enjoyment of the hotel. Do NOT stay on the side street side of the hotel. Having said that, the service was very good and we found the hotel to charming. Probably a clittle pricey for a tourist but good for special occasions. It is very close to good restaraunts and shops.

Room Tip: Stay away from side street rooms.

“Great Room”

My husband and I recently stayed in the Miss Kitty room at the Palace Hotel with our Siamese cat and had a great time! Yes, it's a bit of a hike up the stairs to the third floor, but well worth it if you're up to it! The location is great, the windows in the room are wonderful, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets were excellent! I recommend this hotel (and specifically this room) to travelers.

Room Tip: Miss Kitty room must have the best view in town. The room is pink, but don't let that bother yo...
