Outstanding stay, Outstanding staff
This was a dream stay. The level of attention from the staff was outstanding. The room (suite) was large, comfortable and immaculate. Dinner at the Planters Grill was a very special treat. Our 2 night stay was memorable for all the right reasons.

Amazing Location
The Planters Inn is located in the most magical spot. It’s so easy to walk to all the best places for shopping and eating.
The Market is directly across the street. The wonderful higher end shopping is just down the road on King Street!
