Nice historical place

Beautiful interior historic- felt like we were on an old movie set. No AC, but they didn’t have it back then either- thankfully they had box fans. Oh, and apparently a couple of rooms are haunted- according to the house keeper. Fun stay- dog friendly- but 40.00 a night for the dog was not appropriate!!

The hotel is quite charming - it has very interesting decor and I mean interesting in the literal way - it is Victorian in every little detail (lamps, tables, sitting rooms, etc.) except for, importantly, modern bathroom (and other) fixtures from a convenience standpoint. While it lacks modern air conditioning, portable AC and fans were helpful. The location is unbeatable for strolling Port Townsend; and the staff is friendly and helpful. There are two major flies in the ointment, however - there is NO ELEVATOR and no modern AC (and fans are noisy). Another issue could be street noise so, paradoxically, the view rooms can be very much so if noise is a concern. I admit that given my age and level of infirmity, being on the 3rd floor meant accessing my room was difficult, and with luggage, a struggle. For me that would be a deal breaker - I would not stay here again. That said, if you are quite fit for walking stairs, and carrying luggage, this hotel is about the most charming option I can imagine.

Renovated or modernized historic hotels can sometimes have a bit of a mold smell with questionable bathroom cleanliness while The Palace is not like that at all. Beautifully clean throughout. Extras include a wonderful staff, high 1800's ceilings and stained-glass windowpanes here and there. Winning location. Free parking, fast free wi-fi. We will return. Highly recommend.

We have stayed here over a dozen times or more since our honeymoon in 1984 and it is always great to return to the Palace. Excellent location, wonderful rooms and decor, comfortable beds. For the first time ever we were on the same side as Hill Bottom Pie rather than facing the water, and I was very pleasantly surprised by how quiet that room was. Thanks fr the wonderful memories over the years!

Such a cool and unique historic hotel in downtown Port Townsend. We like the hotel so much we extended our stay. Great location across the street from waterfront and public square where musicians played mid-day. Rooms are beautiful, hotel is so fun to walk around and explore the community spaces. Enjoyed the complementary local newspaper in the morning with coffee from "better living through coffee" across the street. We want to come back to Port Townsend and stay here again!

This place is amazing. We had a very spacious suite with comfortable beds. There is a small library down the hall which everyone enjoyed. Very awesome place in walking distance to the water, pier, restaurants and shopping. The only thing we had trouble with was getting our luggage (approx 50 pounds) up the steps. We struggled with that coming and going. Otherwise, such a great place and the staff were very friendly and were very accommodating to help us add a second night on to our trip. Highly recommend if you are going into Port Townsend - whale watching trip with Puget Sound Express which is walking distance away.
