Highly Recommend
This hotel is the best location to most everything offered in Port Townsend. The staff was super helpful with all my requests and needs. The hotel is really old school in decor and design, which was pretty cool for a vacation stop. I highly recommend The Palace Hotel!

A Victorian beauty in a great location
A Victorian beauty. Staff was great. Parking in back was ok. Beautiful furnishings. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Room well appointed with fridge, coffee and coffee maker, microwave. Loved the claw foot tub/shower but a little dicey getting in and out for older folks

Really enjoyed our stay! You will need to be prepared for stairs though. Right in the heart of everything to do in PT and walking distance end to end. Absolutely recommend

We loved our stay here and will be back. It’s perfectly located to the point we never moved our car from their lot for two days. Staff was friendly and informative.

Nice historical place
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!!

This is our second time staying at the palace hotel. The public areas and rooms are filled with antiques, the beds comfortable, and a wonderful old style feeling throughout. We will stay again and again.
