Wild Palms, a JdV by Hyatt Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a cute property overall with a fun vibe around the pool. The hotel staff was friendly and gave us good recommendations. Good selection for breakfast. We also appreciated that the hotel was pet friendly with a nice grass area for relief with garbage and pick up bags if needed. The reasons we did not give Wild Palms five stars, while the room was updated, it was musty smelling and items in the room were broken or needed repair."

Maple Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent
