Tropicals of Palm Beach

We love this funky, retro historic hotel in which every room/suite is something a little different. The room we had this time sported a tiny "Juliette" balcony overlooking the street. The decor (nautical theme with clean lines) was a nice break from the pastel/seashell/kitzchy rooms we've stayed in before. There was plenty of closet space, and even a tiny kitchen that did not, however, have a sink despite a coffee pot, microwave, dishes, etc. Convenient 20-30 minute drive to the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, our main destination.

Not fancy, but nice apartment-hotel that is a great value and fantastic location. My apartment was clean and pretty well stocked for a short stay. I come to Palm Beach every year for a business event and always stay here.

This was a great unit at PBH. One of the best in the building I believe. Topicals is an amazing operator to book with. Super professional and they take great care in making sure the units are fresh, well decorated and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay

Yes the bath was clogged and the water wouldn’t drain from the shower. The reception couldn’t help and told me to call. No answer! Also tried to book valet parking in advance and it wasn’t confirmed. It seems there is lack of connection between the reception and the management of the room. My biggest frustration was trying to call and no answer.

very clean, had everything I needed for this stay. the property has a lot of character. The staff was very helpful.

The room was clean, staff answered all questions. Location is great. A big drawback is very outdated. Pool was good, but hallways, fixtures, elevator very old.

This historic hotel is quite unique and nice if you like older hotels. While it is well maintained, I took off two stars due to the following things. You have to run the bathroom water for over 7 mins to get hot water and the shower has low pressure with dripping water from the bottom the entire time you shower. Ok for short hair but not so great for my long hair. Pedestal sink not my favorite for using hot tools. I asked for a second set of towels on the evening before checkout to use in the morning and didn’t receive the towels. No maid service is included in the price. Unable to watch my favorite news channel or much of anything on the TV other than Hulu and old sitcoms. Kitchen was well stocked and nice. Mattress was too soft for our preference.

Pros: Great location. Within walking distance to grocery shopping and restaurants. Lake trail and beach are also walkable. Heated pool is a nice touch for a cool January stay. The one bedroom suite we stayed is nicely decorated with a nice kitchenette for simple cooking. Bed is comfortable. Cons: Checkin was a bit confusing because this is a condo complex with different companies managing the rooms. We did not even see a sign that says “The Tropicals” outside the building and we didn’t receive any pre-checkin instructions. POOR soundproofing. You can easily hear people cough and talk nextdoor. As someone who never had trouble sleeping, I was awakened by loud and passionate noise at 1:42 am followed by long phone conversations, two nights in a row. When the loud lovers checked out, the room nextdoor was occupied by a group of girls who enjoyed late night chatting and giggling. I could hear every word! So if you are a light sleeper which I am NOT, you better think twice before booking here or pray you will be lucky with a quiet neighbor like me.

Great location and close to the beach along with plenty of shopping. The room was nice, clean and well stocked. We enjoyed time by the pool as well.
