The Palms Hotel

The room and bathroom was clean.

room too small and bed too small. The office closes too early at 10pm. Breakfast was only served after 8am. Mosquitos abound and no devices to combat it on the patio/breakfast area.

The property is not in good shape. Looks very run down. Upgrades made look cheap. The breakfast that was offered was also of very low quality. All prepackaged pastries from the dollar store.

The Verandah at the front of the property and the look of the property from the road were the only 'good' things about this hotel. The location is good if you're looking to get into Duval street (although Duval street was disappointing itself... very sleazy).

Pretty much everything was hugely disappointing. Looked like it would be a charming guesthouse - but the frontage of the property was very deceiving. The actual accommodation was more like a roadside motel with walls that were so thin you could hear every word of a conversation being held by guests in the adjoining room, tiny bathrooms, ridiculously loud air conditioning units which meant no sleep was possible as without the air conditioning the rooms were unbearably hot. And the beds squeaked and were covered in a nylon style bed protector that made trying to sleep even more uncomfortable. Wouldn't recommend.
