Clean room, espresso coffee machine and creamer in fridge...not that powder stuff. The cookies were nice too. The restaurant downstairs is top notch. Great bar and lounge. The owner of the Palms was personable and his staff were all amazing. Would stay again for sure.

It is very clear from the rooms, property and staff that this independent hotel cares about its guests. Really great stay and refreshing to see a hotel that actually still cares to make an impression. If you have a chance, do yourself a favour and stay here instead of one of the big chain hotels

I am writing to provide feedback regarding my recent stay, which concluded on December 15th. I was contemplating extending my stay for an extra day after having a great morning out in the city. However, when I returned to my room around 11:10 AM, I received a call from you inquiring about my check-out time. I mentioned that I was about to shower and asked if checking out at 12:00 PM would be acceptable. Your reply that I would be charged $50 if I stayed past 11:30 AM was surprising, as I have stayed at the Hotel Rialto dozens of times. While I understand the need to enforce check-out times, the tone of this interaction immediately led me to decide against extending my stay. Unfortunately, this exchange also succeeded in ruining an otherwise flawless morning. I wanted to share this experience as it influenced my decision not to remain a guest for an additional night. Thank you,
Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025
