The historic Palace Hotel is amazing. From the moment you walk into the lobby, it is like going back in history. It is exceptional. This is my second time staying at The Palace and staff is wonderful. Also, dog friendly! Perfect location for downtown Port Townsend. Highly recommend.
All was great

Such a grand old hotel with beautiful vintage decor and lovely appointments. Right on Water Street, so is very easy to walk to everything!
Pizza smell coming from restaurant below - not a bad smell as smells go, but noticeable. What to do? Go eat pizza!

The location is ideal for a visit to the main street in Port Townsend. Coffee, restaurants and shops are all at hand. The water view is the best way to appreciate this hotel, but the rooms are large and any would make for a pleasant stay.
Although some may prefer to have an elevator, the stairs afford that crucial bit of exercise that does a body good. Given that the ceilings are high, the stairs between floors are plentiful so guests should be aware and prepared for this.

Very quiet and comfortable room, with a comfortable king size bed. Got an excellent night's sleep. Cute vintage decorations and common spaces. I stayed here when I was 18, and almost 50 years later, it hasn't changed a bit.
Carpet was a bit dusty.

The staff are sooo nice. Rooms are cozy. Love the atmosphere. The view , We were close to the water and ferry. The kitchen had everything we needed.
The stairs of course. But great exercise for us oldies!!

Lovely hotel, great staff and very clean and organized.
There is no proper coffee service available. The rooms have small coffee makers.

The Palace Hotel was unlike any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. It was an old-time brothel at some point, but rather than hide it they leaned in to that history. The room doors even have the names of the workers who plied their trade there! It was super comfy, and tremendously charming. The staff was very friendly and the price was very reasonable; I’d stay there again in a heartbeat.
A little more parking would probably be helpful, but there are also extra places along the main road.

Nothing! It was pretty great and accurately described.

Authentic Victorian and very well decorated in correct style. This was the most genuine period hotel of the whole trip.
Trying to give full shower experience in a roll top tub does not work if you are large and tall!

Easy to find near the ferry dock with a parking lot just around the back of the hotel. Desk staff are welcoming and sparkly. We had a Victorian style loft suite overlooking the street which included a kitchen and fireplace. Port Townsend is very quiet after everything closes for the day so we slept well.
Not many of these colorful old places around any longer; enjoy them while you can. It’s one of the joys of travel.
Using the stairs to access our room didn’t bother us at all but if you have any mobility challenges please be aware that an historic building like the Palace Hotel might not always contain elevators. Always check in advance.

Very clean!!!! Place was unique and loved all the antiques/history. Beds were very comfy and they had fans in room for air flow and to wash out other guest noise... work well... we had a very pleasant and enjoyable time. We will be back and will recommend to others. We were most impressed with how clean this place was, especially the size if it. We topped the girls an extra $30 for worming so hard on keeping it clean.
Elevator/Coffee Bar in lobby to enjoy wandering and hanging out in the hotel without grabbing coffee from room. We will try and book ocean view next time. But liked the uniqueness of all the rooms as well.

Delightful older property in the heart of downtown. The room was lovely, with a spiral staircase leading to the bed on the mezzanine floor. Excellent facilities and very quiet. Very close to restaurants and bars. Good parking
Needed to be careful on the spiral staircase at night

Location was fantastic. Beautiful view from the room.
A warning about the amount of stairs. We were on the third floor and then more stairs to bedroom. A visit to the bathroom required traveling down those stairs.

The location is outstanding - right in the heart of town. One of the most charming and historic hotels I have ever stayed in. Gorgeous interiors and soaring high ceilings. Free parking. An awesome experience
Noisy - The loudest seagulls I have ever heard in my life started squawking prior to 5am. If you want to sleep well after 5am, this is not the hotel for you. Also, I booked a "deluxe family room" via booking.com - but was given a regular room with 2 queen beds. The gentlemen at the front desk claimed that they don't have deluxe family rooms. When I showed him my confirmation, he blamed me for "booking through a 3rd party site." Don't blame the customer - fix your website listings!

Excellent location, clean rooms, dog “kit” when traveling with pets including dishes, a towel, and sheets. Staff was friendly!
I wish they had some restaurant or in-dining option, even simple dishes would be good. Restaurants in town (nearby) were all crowded.

You can't beat the location. You'll be right down in the shopping district with the Sound just across the road! The room was large enough to have a little dining table with chairs in it. We woke up to the seagulls doing their thing! Parking right by the hotel.
I say this about every hotel, but the bed was too hard and I woke up sore.

Location is great, right on Water St and walkable to many shops and food options. Size of room was unexpectedly large, amenities in room (kitchenette) were great, mostly new, and very clean. Shower/tub was new and good pressure of water. Many comfy pillows on the bed to adjust to your liking.
Mattress was very firm and bouncy, and bedframe was really noisy with movement. Toilet seat did not fit toilet, and it moves around when using it.

Loved the unique layout of the property and each room being different. Room and entire building were extremely clean and well maintained. Appreciated having kitchen appliances, dishes, utensils, etc. so that we could prepare our own breakfast in the room. Bed was comfortable and hotel was quiet.
Quite a climb and hike up steep stairs to reach our room. Not for persons with mobility issues! It would be nice if the hotel provided a basic continental breakfast as many area restaurants (within walking distance) did not appear to be open for breakfast.

It's a bit pricey for one night with no real amenities but we love the location and the hotel for what it is and was so we'll keep paying and watching for any specials
