I didn't use the Internet or the gym but I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay there again. It's not the most up to date with the furnishings inside the rooms (can't charge your phone from a lamp) but it's comfortable and cozy.

The outdoor pool was not heated for the first couple days of our stay. We were happy that the heater was repaired and the pool heated for the last few days. We had always prioritized Palmetto in past years because of the warm pool. Rooms and grounds are well maintained.
