Our room reminded me of staying in an original Victorian flat in San Francisco. The hotel is historical with interesting features. It’s located in a great walkable area but being some ear plugs if you don’t want to wake up to seagulls on an early summer morning!

We have stayed here over a dozen times or more since our honeymoon in 1984 and it is always great to return to the Palace. Excellent location, wonderful rooms and decor, comfortable beds. For the first time ever we were on the same side as Hill Bottom Pie rather than facing the water, and I was very pleasantly surprised by how quiet that room was. Thanks fr the wonderful memories over the years!

The room smells like pizza due to having a pizzeria downstairs. Cleaning lady gave us a spray which helped a little. Anyways ask for a room on the street side which may help with smell.

Liked the historical aspect of it.The rooms were spacious and clean, Games and books in the sitting areas were a nice touch! The staff went above and beyond by ensuring we had a portable A/C and fan and helping us with our luggage! Would recommend!!

Located right in the middle of town, walkable to everything. Very atmospheric; feels like you have time travelled to 1880, but with all the modern conveniences. No elevator so be prepared for lots of stairs if you are on the third floor.

Amazing staff and right in the middle of the great downtown area. The lack of an elevator may be a problem for some. 59 stairs to the third floor- no bell hops to help with luggage. We were fine, but just be aware. The gal who does the laundry is about the nicest employee we’ve met at any of the places we’ve been on this trip to the PNW!

This is such a beautiful antique-filled hotel. It was very clean and tidy and the staff was extremely accommodating and pleasant. The view of the bay from our room was stunning and the location was right in the heart of downtown, but we did not hear traffic or street noise at night (not that there is much of that in Port Townsend anyway!) Great stay!
