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!

A gem of a hotel in the heart of Port Townsend. Spacious rooms ( with a good size kitchen!), soft towels and sheets, plenty of hot water, very clean. Only thing to be mindful of is that it does have significant stairs ( no elevator ) so if you have mobility issues chooss a room in the lower floor. Wonderful staff and a yrue historic charm. Two minute drive to the Whidbey Island ferry!

Our room was quaint and clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will be returning soon!

First know that there is no elevator in the building. There are steep steps to the first floor and more for the second and third. Our room was a suite, well maintained and clean. The bedroom was up a set of steep slippery carpeted steps. The bathroom was down stairs. Not good for an older couple who get up in the middle of the night. Though I tried to change rooms there were no others available that night. My husband fell down the stairs in the morning. The front desk didn't think anything of it.

Had some issues due to room being next to lower level restaurant. The kitchen exhaust hood vent was directly by the window. The room was hot and unable to open windows due to exhaust smell. The room also smelled like the kitchen. Kinda small room with no good seating. The bathroom had a shower head pipe detaching from the wall, couldn’t adjust the height and it was face level The larger rooms are good here but not so much on the smaller ones. Stairs could be an issue for the older folks, no elevator.

The room was very nice and the service was excellent. The location is outstanding, making it easy to walk to everything.

Enjoyed our stay! Unique hotel in a very convenient location!

Very cute and comfortable historic inn and a great location.

Nice place without high technology. Everything worked. Stairs might be a challenge for folks in bad shape.

A lovely vintage hotel with a great, really friendly and helpful staff. Bed was comfortable and location great. Coffee maker and fridge in the room. I would stay there again

Room with kitchenette quiet and clean. Easy parking behind hotel. Restaurants across the street with ocean views. Easy walking to shops and small parks. The people at the front desk were a delight.

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.

The property was charming. The staircase is steep and long to the guest room where we stayed. It could be an issue for some. Most troubling was that our room was located above a pizzeria with the exhaust fan blowing directly into our room. This room should not be rented out with the very strong pizza smell. My partner and I could not sleep well because of it.

Nice

Located along the waterfront and local restaurants. Historic building with comfortable sitting areas.

Beautiful interior historic- felt like we were on an old movie set. No AC, but they didn’t have it back then either- thankfully they had box fans. Oh, and apparently a couple of rooms are haunted- according to the house keeper. Fun stay- dog friendly- but 40.00 a night for the dog was not appropriate!!

I loved the artwork and whimsey. My room had a claw foot tub, which was beautiful, but I'm old and it was difficult for me to get in and out.

Adorable space and convenient for all that Port Townsend has to offer. Friendly staff.

The hotel is quite charming - it has very interesting decor and I mean interesting in the literal way - it is Victorian in every little detail (lamps, tables, sitting rooms, etc.) except for, importantly, modern bathroom (and other) fixtures from a convenience standpoint. While it lacks modern air conditioning, portable AC and fans were helpful. The location is unbeatable for strolling Port Townsend; and the staff is friendly and helpful. There are two major flies in the ointment, however - there is NO ELEVATOR and no modern AC (and fans are noisy). Another issue could be street noise so, paradoxically, the view rooms can be very much so if noise is a concern. I admit that given my age and level of infirmity, being on the 3rd floor meant accessing my room was difficult, and with luggage, a struggle. For me that would be a deal breaker - I would not stay here again. That said, if you are quite fit for walking stairs, and carrying luggage, this hotel is about the most charming option I can imagine.

Renovated or modernized historic hotels can sometimes have a bit of a mold smell with questionable bathroom cleanliness while The Palace is not like that at all. Beautifully clean throughout. Extras include a wonderful staff, high 1800's ceilings and stained-glass windowpanes here and there. Winning location. Free parking, fast free wi-fi. We will return. Highly recommend.
