The Palms Oceanfront Hotel

Very clean and comfortable place to stay.

Short walk to the beach, super comfy beds, lots of restaurants within a block, it was awesome.

My room was nice and clean and close to pool and ice machine which was nice. Location to windjammer and easy access to beach.

While the room was mostly clean, the customer service was less than desirable. I asked about the shower not draining 1 hour after checking in and was told that they could not fix it until tomorrow. Then I got in my bed and it was full of sand - a bed that we haven’t even pulled back yet. That’s largely unacceptable. When I went to go notify the front desk, the attendant was sleeping in the lobby - not behind the desk, in the lobby chairs meant for guests. This place is obviously very poorly run and I’m very disappointed we booked here.

How this place gets excellent reviews is beyond me! The ocean and beach, while nice and close to the hotel, is accessed by a boardwalk which is set directly under the hotel garage. Guests cannot sit on their patios without feeling an invasion of privacy as each person walks down the boardwalk. And, the garage area where guests have to access the boardwalk is disgusting. It’s dirty, and wreaks of garbage from the restaurant next door.
This place is a motel at best. Bragging of recent renovations, the hotel stairwells are scary; the heating/air wall units are old and extremely loud; the hotel is dirty; housekeeping left dirty linens in our hallway for our entire stay; the room smelled like cat; and the lobby was over sprayed with a strong, unpleasant, scented fragrance.
Again, the access to the beach is nice here, but I think this place is overpriced. I’d rather pay more to feel like I’m in cleaner and better accommodations. We won’t be returning. Not even sure we’ll be returning to Isle of Palms…the hotel kinda gave us a bad feel for the whole place.

We had a wonderful time at The Palms Oceanfront Hotel. My husband and I stayed 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary. The room was spacious, the employees were friendly and helpful. Our first night, we called to let the front desk know that the m-wave wasn't working, five minutes later, a maintenance man arrived and replaced the m-wave. The pool looked inviting, but we never got the chance to use it. The restaurants we went to were within walking distance. We parked our car and never moved it until we were ready to go home. We took our bikes and enjoyed riding on the 2 lane roads and looking at the beautiful houses. Peaceful and quiet, we really enjoyed it. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Great location

The room over looked a bar with noise from patrons and music. I had requested oceanfront. Apparently the room was originally for someone else because their name was on.tv. I took a picture of it. When I told the receptionist there was no assistance on.a different room.

The hotel is clean and the staff friendly. The room A/C units can be a bit loud at night but not too bad. It's not a fancy place but beach access is unbeatable! The other big selling point with this hotel is the central location. You can park your car once and walk to the entire central Isle of Palms area! Can't beat the location. We enjoyed our stay and will make this our go to hotel in IOP.

This hotel is centrally located, sandwiched between restaurants, across the street from shopping and of course right on the beach. If you can avoid bringing a car, I would suggest it. Parking is tight and limited and you really don’t need a car to get around.
The staff is friendly, courteous and always willing to help make your stay more comfortable.
So why only 4 stars? Well if I could do 4.5 I would-only negative is our door stuck and we had to fight with it to open.

The convenience to the beach 🏖️ The continental breakfast; the outdoor pool; restaurants right next door on both sides and more of them up the street - walking distance; the shower was very nice with great water pressure; We were able to see the beach from our room, partial ocean view from our balcony;

The location was unbeatable. Right on the beach and walking distance from bars and great restaurants.

Beautiful clean great experience I would definitely go back again

We really enjoyed that the hotel was centrally located to a lot of places we ending up going. The beach access was the best.

walking distance to the beach stores and restaurants

Location is excellent

The location is amazing.You are right on the beach. The atmosphere is really nice.Also, there's all kinds of shops and restaurants within walking distance.So you don't have to drive in your car unless you want to. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. I think for an oceanfront hotel. The room prices are very reasonable.. The cleanness of the hotel rooms and the hotel are excellent.
To me, there was no noise level. The service was excellent if I needed anything, they would get it for me. It was nice having room a mini fridge and a microwave in the room and a coffee maker. The continental breakfast was very good too.
