My stay at the hotel was quite nice overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, featuring all the essentials I needed. However, I was disappointed that the outdoor pool was closed during my visit. The dining options could be expanded as the breakfast was on the simpler side. Still, the facilities like the indoor pool were enjoyable, and I appreciated the variety of activities available at the resort.

I had a very nice stay at this hotel, surrounded by beautiful mountains and close to town. The room was comfortable, although a bit dated, and the amenities like tennis courts and swimming were enjoyable. The breakfast was decent, but could stand some healthier varieties. I also appreciated how well-kept the grounds were, making it a peaceful retreat overall.

I had a mixed experience at the Palmer House. While the large and cozy room had a nice view and the amenities were enjoyable, I found that the hotel didn't quite match the charming depiction on the website. The pool and hot tub were highlights, but the overall presentation felt a bit dated and not as picturesque as I expected. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, which added to the experience, but I left feeling a bit disappointed with the value compared to what was advertised.

My family and I had a wonderful time at the Palmer House. The range of fun activities made our stay memorable, especially with our grandkids excited about all the options. While the breakfast was a bit limited, the amenities like the indoor pool and fishing pond were fantastic for family bonding. Overall, the value for money was great, but I do wish there were more diverse breakfast choices available.
