We booked a night at the hotel to celebrate my birthday. 2 months before the arrival date I emailed Kelly about the "Haunted Tour", as the site asked that no calls be made regarding this. After 2 weeks of not hearing back I sent another, then a week later a third. She did not have the courtesy to return ANY... More

I stayed in Room 11 alone on 5-4-13. From approximately one a.m. through about four I heard lots of chatter from a child and an adult male in the hall right outside my room, with an occasional door slamming. No one was ever there when I looked. At three a.m. directly above me (Room 22) a child was yelling and... More

My husband and I stayed over night with 2 other couples recently. First off, the staff is incredible!! Service outstanding, it isn't a place to be in a hurry. Just relax, you may wait a minute or two but its well worth it. Its a sweet, charming place, a little worn but clean and comfortable. We stayed in room 17... More

I have stayed here each August on my way up to the cabin for the last 4 or 5 years and it's always been a pleasant stay. The rooms are clean and I am able to check in early, say around 1 or 2 o'clock and while the building is old it's nice to stay somewhere in this style of... More

I have stayed at the Palmer House Hotel a few times now and have been extremely satisfied with the service and experience every time. The owner, Kelley, does everything she can to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable, and even takes time to sit with you and answer any questions you have about ghostly encounters there. I was irritated by... More

I just returned home from staying at the Palmer House last night! What a weekend! Yes, the hotel is old and with its size, hard to keep in pristine condition, but it is CLEAN and has character! The ceiling on the main floor is beautiful. Keep in mind that the building is over 100 years old! I've stayed at the... More

Wow is all I can say about this amazing place! I stayed here with my two cousins a few weeks ago. In the beginning I was a little set back after my phone conversation with Julie who came a cross very rude! Once we arrived all changed, Kristine is one of the nicest... kindest and sincere person I have ever... More

My husband and I stayed at the Palmer House for 2 nites.I woke up several times the first nite because of noise from someone on the upper level running water and walking on the squeeky floor. Bed linens were a disappointment for as much as the room cost. I thought having a blow dryer was pretty standard in hotels, but... More
