Wes and Cindy are the best! Took a motorcycle ride to Neptune Beach. Checked in to the Palms Retro and were treated like family from beginning to the end. Breakfast room was well stocked. Tips on local restaurants were tops. Hope everyone has as enjoyable a time. I'll be back. Thanks a million! Dan

Found this little gem in a frantic search to find a hotel for a last second trip.

I'm a real hotel snob and thought it... More
