Staff are always friendly, great location and quality of facilities. This was my second stay at Palm Court and sadly worse than my last stay, mainly due to minor but noticeable lack of attention to cleanliness details. Some of the towels were stained and had hair on them, while the carpet was also not thoroughly cleaned behind chairs and bedside stands. These aren’t necessarily horrible attributes but definitely affected the quality of my experience.

We loved our balcony, it was huge and we had the best view for the New Years Eve fireworks. Room was comfy. A bit dated. And the shower could do with a good scrub. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool was lovely, but the people watching from the restaurant windows right next to the pool was awkward. Overall a lovely place to stay in a perfect position to walk and see the sights.

Had a one night stay here passing through town. The king bed was super comfortable and the room was nice and spacious. Only downside was that we faced the street and traffic noise was a bit annoying and there was a streetlight directly outside our balcony. Being on the top floor this light was at the same height, blockout curtains are definitely needed. Overall it was nicely renovated and we would stay again but would request a room away from the street.

The hotel was quite new - in fact some renovations were under way while we were there - luckily they stopped quite early. There were a lot of stairs to climb to get to our room. The room had all the amenities and was clean - but oh, so small! There was jut room to fit everything in. Next time I would get a bigger one - this was was barely big enough for one person.

Our booking of the Supreme Double Bed room was extremely small. If you had a suitcase you would struggle to move around the bed. Squash court under the room and for 3 hours all we heard was squash balls and players hitting the wall. Was not a pleasant experience. On our previous stay we had a balcony room and it was excellent. Stay at the hotel - just don’t stay in Room 24.

I booked 2 rooms for 4 guests and paid for two rooms through Expedia, however on arrival at Palm court in Port Macquarie, the receptionist insisted that they only had one room booked for 2 guests under my name. We were advised that the hotel was fully booked and the other two guests needed to find alternative accommodation. As we booked through Expedia and not directly with Palm Court, we were told that the hotel could not rectify the mix up and would not refund for the second room. Fortunately a hotel nearby had a vacancy which the other two guests were able to check in and had to pay for additional accommodation at the rate requested. I am very unhappy that while Expedia charged for two rooms, we were only allocated one room, plus additional accommodation for another hotel. I will not book through Expedia or stay at Palm Court ever again as it turned out a very expensive overnight stay and very unsatisfying experience!!!!! I would like an explanation as to how this can occur, if more than one room is booked by one client

Overpriced. Paid extra for river view. Picture on Expedia nothing like the actual view. Room 1 on ground floor, view from room was two cement walls, an air conditioner unit and leaf covered cement area. Room was directly opposite back door of restaurant and next to toilet for pool which was opposite. Coffee machine leaked, wifi worked for 2 seconds. Room itself clean and amenities good but not worth over $200. Have stayed in better places in Ot Macquarie for far less.
