Second time I have stayed at The Palmer. Rooms are clean and neat. Super comfortable beds! The staff are welcoming and accommodating. Parking at rear is not covered, a small draw back. The restaurant downstairs is both convenient and delivers delicious meals. The coffee served by the night barista was a huge let down. Restaurants in the surrounding streets are handy.
