Primera y ultima vez
Pros:

La cama super comoda.

Cons:

El servicio no lo que esperaba, hice check in bien tarde a las 10 de la noche, llame para pedir si podian ponerme un bucket de hielo pq era el cumpleaños de mi esposo y queria hacer algo bonito en el cuarto, la chica me dijo que tenia que yo misma cuando llegara coger el hielo. El baño super incomodo. Justo frente a la habitacion toda la basura de todo el piso. Para el precio no fue lo que espera. Me hubiera quedado en cualquier otro mas economico y obtendria lo mismo o mejor. Pregunte si el parking era gratis en la calle y me dijo que si. Al llegar al carro una multa de 50 dolares. Todo pesimooooooo.

Beautiful property on a beautiful y
Pros:

We absolutely loved this property. It was clean and well kept.

Cons:

The ONLY issue we had was the bathroom was fairly small. You had to shimmy around the toilet to close the door and bathing kids was cramped. Overall we managed.

There is a large parking place in the Hotel. The room was great! King size of the bed is great too. And excellent view at the Ocean!

Would stay again!
Pros:

Its destination, staff, cleanliness, comfortable bed.

Cons:

Walls are super thin and there isn’t a curfew enforced so if you don’t own a good pair of ear plugs you’re in for a miserable night especially if you end up with a family with kids next door.

Palms oceanfront Hotel is a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing weekend. It is right on the beach
Pros:

We love the location of this hotel. It was right on the beach. It was also in the heart of Isle of Palms close to everything. We love the fact that the price was so affordable probably because we stayed in November but it was a treat to stay in such a great hotel at a reasonable price.

Cons:

We loved everything about this hotel

Very clean, comfortable hotel on the beach.
Pros:

Spotless hotel. Comfortable beds and pillows. We had a room facing the beach with a million-dollar view. The shower was spotless, had excellent water pressure, and plenty of towels.

The location was superb.
We were there in November, so it was very quiet, but there are outside bars and restaurants next door to the hotel. I would imagine in warmer months, you would hear everything from these restaurant bars. That would be the only disadvantage of having a room facing the beach.
Maybe in the warm months, you’d always keep the door closed with the air conditioning on, which was unnecessary in November. The beautiful breeze and the sound of the ocean were perfect!

The complimentary breakfast was a pleasant surprise in the nicely appointed lobby. Excellent choice for breakfast: bagels, cereals, hard-boiled egg, yoghurt, juices, and, to my surprise, delicious fresh pancakes.
Since it was approaching winter, they also had a complimentary hot chocolate bar with all kinds of toppings.
I would definitely return, it was a lovely small hotel with a friendly, accommodating staff.
