I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. I first stayed there solo last year, in July, to visit a friend who was the bar manager at the time. He was able to upgrade my room to a suite, which was an awesome room - full kitchen, great living room and incredibly spacious King bedroom and bathroom. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the bed very comfortable, although at the time the carpet was badly stained and needed replacement, which I hear they’ve since done. The rest of the hotel was great, clean, relatively quiet, and very scenic, especially on the marina side! Unfortunately, this year, my friend passed unexpectedly and myself and some friends came down for his funeral and stayed at Island Palms. It was again a wonderful stay, clean, comfortable, and accommodating, with great views and great food in the Blue Wave restaurant. They were very willing to upgrade ya as much as possible in a very solidly booked hotel, and our rooms both had great views in the newer section of the hotel. Considering the curcumstances, this hotel was a great place to relax a little and take some of the strain off a tough weekend. I will be staying there again! less
