The hotel is situated across the street from a sketchy park. The building itself has a mildew smell to it and I didn’t like that I had to exit my vehicle to open the gate to enter. That part didn’t feel safe. There is no security or staff on site.

I really had high hopes for staying at Palmero House. I brought my handicapped mother who is wheelchair bound for a xmas getaway. Here were the highs and lows Highs Close to East beach Super clean rooms, quiet building, comfortable bed and accomodations Lows First we were given a non handicapped bathroom, but quickly changed to a different room with the appropriate bathroom access. Our heater was not working most of the night. The temperature in room wouldnt go above 69 degrees on a very cold night Called the front desk from the room and my cell phone. Their phone lines were down all night and part of the morning Palmero house is around the corner from the main Man Monte Hotel so u have to walk there to speak to the front desk or use any of the amenities. Before checkout, i requested fresh towels from house keeping. They never came I addressed several of the issues with the hotel front desk and manager. They blamed being short staffed the reason for all the mishaps.

we really didn’t have any interaction with staff beyond the check in process. Housekeeping came just after 5pm while we were getting ready to go to dinner but that’s not that big of a deal. We called them to come back as we left for dinner. Hotel was nice and well appointed
