We had a great time, the building looks brand new and our micro efficiency was all we needed for a quick 3 day stay. We spent our days at the pool which has great patio furniture and huge umbrellas. Everything was clean and beautiful, at night we took advantage of the games in the courtyard. On our second day the owner came by to chat while we were sitting by the pool to make sure everything was ok, from the time I reached out about check in instructions Dave was warm, welcoming and...

My husband and I had an enjoyable week stay at the Palm Court, it was a perfect location for what we wanted to do. If you like walking or biking, the rails to trails path is right there.
