Isle of Palms is one of our favorite places to visit in the Charleston area, and The Palms Hotel was perfect for our first beach visit of the season. The hotel's location is excellent, just at the end of the Isle of Palm Connector, among shops and restaurants and situated right on the beach. Our ocean view room with its... More

We are so delighted to read of a guest that enjoyed the location of the hotel, their room accommodations, and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They pointed out how comfortable our pillowtop mattresses are. We would have to agree, they are like sleeping on a cloud. We certainly look forward to this guest coming to stay with us... More

Let me start off by saying that the staff at the hotel was very nice. My check in experience was lovely. The location is great. However unless you want to listen to a dance party every night in your room, stay elsewhere. I wish I had known! Apparently the other reviewers didn't mind the very loud music and annoying dj...

I regret to read of this guest's displeasure with the music next door. I don't know how this guest reserved their room, but when you call the hotel directly, we make sure to inform the guest of the possiblity of music. It doesn't go on all night, but during the weekdays until 10pm and the weekends until 11pm. Again, I... More

We have been coming to this hotel for many years. You cannot beat the location and service for the price. It's been about 2 years since our last visit and we were very pleased with the upgrades made to the rooms. Nice comfortable mattresses, flat screen TV. Just having the option of the beach, pool, walking to multiple dining choices,... More

We selected this hotel based on Trip Advisor and the overall rating. We were very disappointed. The photos look beautiful but the room was not. It was dirty. There were greasy fingerprints on the doors and it just seemed very grungy. I would not recommend staying here - we had an interior room so maybe the ocean front rooms are... More

Just got back from a 5 day/4 night stay. We had a 3rd floor interior view room It was clean, comfortable and with the coupon on Vist Charleston web site, we paid 129$ per night. YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THAT for value. I fully recommend you consider this hotel - knowing what you get for a great price, not sure... More

First off , the Oceanfront rooms are the best- hands down. Spend the extra money- it is worth it ! They are more quiet and the view is amazing ! The breakfast bar is rolls,coffee, juice,some dry cereal, biscuits and gravy and sometimes fruit. We eat yogurt every day so we went to the supermarket after arriving and bought our... More

This is a great hotel but not what the website pictures. It is more mom and pop hotel than a fancy one. But that is exactly what I liked about it. The breakfast could use some work. But a bagel was good enough for me. My room was just average, nothing spectacular but for the price it was a welcome.... More

After booking I personally called to ask a few questions. Jared was more than helpfull and I'm excited about arriving... even though we've never booked this hotel. I will say the staff are very personable! Will re-post... and let you know how the actual stay was.
