White Elephant Palm Beach

Great place, clean and quiet

Our stay at the White Elephant Palm Beach was outstanding from start to finish. We were there for a girls weekend. LOLA was fabulous, the staff was welcoming, and took care of all of our requests. The rooms were fresh and clean, bathrooms were large and felt luxurious. Linens were super and beds comfortable. Location was great, walk or bike to everything. A must stay in Palm Beach.

This is a great fit if you’re looking for something stylish and lively, but not great if you want to really feel comfortable and rejuvenated. Not much different from most hotels as far as comfort. I didn’t feel especially comfortable, and didn’t feel rested while staying there, and each consecutive night I felt more and more drained and on edge. I’ve had better experiences with Airbnb’s that were a fraction of the price. Pros: 1) Meticulously clean & well- maintained (except for carpet in room - carpet is just gross even if it is cleaned) 2) Exceptional staff for the most part - the staff really was great, I just want to emphasize that. 3) Furnishings and room all new and in excellent condition 4) Received room service & my car in a timely manner each time. Cons: 1) Window DO NOT open. And this is a huge one for me. I will not stay in a room that is sealed up and never gets aired out. I don’t care how clean the room is, it still feels dirty and extremely uncomfortable to be in a sealed, enclosed box. I booked a room with a balcony, because those have a door that can be propped open to get some air, but you have to ask the front desk for a special door stop to hold it open. Even so, the bedroom is in the back and the windows are sealed shut so the air can’t flow all the way through, and the bedroom felt uncomfortable to be in. 2) The balcony rooms face the courtyard which is where the restaurant is, so in the evening it’s very noisy. They also play techno music in the restaurant. So I would come back in the evening and open my door to air out the room and sit on my balcony and order room service and try to get a little bit of peace, but after awhile that techno music started to grate on my be nerves so badly, I had to go inside and shut the door. 3) The breakfast was not great and cost $60 each time (including room service fee and tip) While dinner at Lola 41 was excellent, the breakfast was like diner food. Was it edible? Sure. But for $60 i expect it to be one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. It was barely lukewarm two days in a row. The breakfast potatoes were bland and dry. They do make a pretty decent cappuccino though.

Great staff. Very good restaurant Quiet Car service for short trips

Lighting in room difficult to deal with
