Loved this little motel style resort. Our king room was HUGE. The water in the shower was HOT. AC wasn’t the best but kept us cool enough plus a fan above the bed. Stunning area and the small town near by is soo cute

They noticed i had a 13 year old daughter and 9 year old son in toe. The upgrade to a suíte was complimentary and close to the pool. Definitely suggest this place. Breakfast was good and everything is close. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location but the room (and bath) was very tired. Staff was super friendly. The weather wasn't great so we didn't use the pool or other amenities. Affordable and quiet though.

We stayed at the Palmer House years ago and this visit was not as good. The hotel appears run down, the English muffins for breakfast were stale and there was a man hanging outside of his room two doors down from us shirtless and smoking. The staff was lovely and very nice.

Property was nice, well maintained. Staff was helpful & friendly. Would definitely think twice before returning due to the fact that our suite was very outdated… the windows were dirty with imprints on them, something that could have been easily cleaned… bottom of mini-fridge was not wiped down from a previous guest… I don’t like leaving reviews like this but based on the fact that there are other similar reviews, I wonder if the owner cares or just can’t get housekeeping that know what they’re doing(?)

Great place! Lots of amenities! Short 9 hole golf course, but greens rough. Great fun still. Shuffleboard, indoor and outdoor pools, free breakfast. A fire pit in the evenings. Room (suite) was huge. Deck outside facing beautiful trees. Huge bathroom in our suite. Jacuzzi and shower. Two dressing areas. Very happy and will stay again if in the area!

Spacious property & rooms in a great location. The amenities are 30 years outdated, sadly, considering the potential this beautiful land occupies. The pools needed refinishing (paint peeling & floating, grime stuck on floor & walls) slimy feel on the walls, the hot tub inside was running, but in a dark, sad corner overlooking the peeling pool. The outdoor spa was empty, filled with rainwater and leaves. The fishing dock was crumbling and adjacent to a sunken boat full of bottles & trash. Restaurant, closed. Breakfast was continental. Staff so nice. There were only 3 people on the property, but all of us next to each other with a parking lot view. Affordable, 1 star motel in a great location.
