Silver Palms Inn

The room was clean Receptionist was not pleasant, tried to ask for a different softer pillow, was told there are only the pillows in the room and there were no different than those. Not helpful at all. Breakfast was not much to much to speak of, some pastries, and over cooked hard boiled eggs. Definitely not worth the money . It was close to Duvall Street but other than that there is nothing that would compell me to stay there again!

Very little. Yet, the place appears brand new ( the pictures on booking.com are still the planning pictures). It's only attraction is that it is within walking distance from duval Street, say 15 minutes to midpoint of Duval Street. Rooms were clean and relatively spacous and internet was free. Forget about the announced 'island view' or 'pool view', to be renamed 'street view' (= no view), or 'parking lot view': indeed, two sides of the very small inner pool (area) are literally adjacent to the hotel inner parking lot. There is basically no lobby, as the small area adjacent to reception is used as a rather primitive self service breakfast area, all with plastic/foam plates and cups, with the cups for orange juice just large enough for a standard shot of whisky, but then without adding ice. No wonder they make you prepay for the stay. Certainly no resort hotel, and way overpriced ... And by the way: we had booked a "street view" and were allotted a "parking lot view" instead ( at a 20 usd rebate per night).

New renovated, well equipped and really clean rooms. They've charged us a city tax twice however when we've complained they had returned one payment immediately.
