Property seemed to be clean. The room had several issues. The balcony door did not lock when we first arrived. Later that evening the door would not latch. I had to tie the door to a chair to keep it closed. The bathroom sink drained too slow, almost stopped up. The electrical outlet in the bathroom did not work. This was not a ground fault issue. The main door rubbed against the door jamb. To close and latch, we would need to slam the door. Opening the door was also an effort. Even though parking was off sight, it was a close walk to the hotel. Paying for parking was disappointing with the high price of the room.

The City of Isle of Palms does mandate parking on the island, but parking will be free between November 1st and March 1st. Once again, we deeply apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay, but we thank you for choosing The Palms.

Great property. Downside is no onsite parking. you have to park on the street and this time of year it's ok because it isn't crowded but later in the season it could be a problem. Otherwise beautiful room and a terrific breakfast. Avocados even!

Great location. Elevator wasn’t working at check-in and sounded like a death trap when it was back in order. Only 3 flights of stairs but stairwell incredibly hot and stuffy. Room was clean. Overall good stay.
