What a great place to spend a couple nights. Built in 1901 (I think), it shows it's age, but is pretty well maintained. I have stayed there many times and it seems to get better each one. The rooms are spacious and clean - and the staff is superb. A bar is great and the restaurant is good. And Jitter's... More

We went there just for something different to do, being that it's rated as Minnesota's most haunted hotel! Not a lot to do midweek in the winter, but it was still fun. Employees were very nice and helpful, the only bad thing was noise/loud music from a neighborhood bar (lots of 'em!) practically under our window that lasted until almost... More

My roommate & I had talked about staying a night at the Palmer House for a long time and finally decided to stay over on Halloween night to celebrate my recent graduation. We were really spooked by the "old" feeling of the building, but found ourselves wishing it were renovated, decorated and stylized more true to it's period of construction.... More

Pros #1. Very historical place needs some work but looks as though may have had some recent water damage they are in the process of getting fixed. Pro #2 The Lobby is gorgeous. Old Fashioned scroll Piano . Beautiful furniture ambiance the whole nine yards. Original tile ceilings from what it looks like. Pro #3 The Night clerk /Bartender was... More

The hotel was okay... We look for unique "haunted" hotels and have had a lot of luck finding some cool places.... WELL, Sauk Centre is the MIDDLE OF NO WHERE! Do not come just to go to this hotel or you will be upset that you did. The hotel is old and needs updates pretty bad. I guess the room... More

This place should really be where you choose to stay in Sauk Centre. It is downtown, rather than in the outskirts like a motor inn or something. The rooms are fine - little bit weird that the bathroom didn't have a door - just a curtain. The bar was open late enough and nice people there. Would return! More

We loved Palmer House Hotel. We booked the haunted room and were very excited to spend the night there. We were awoken in the middle of the night by a noise in our room that made both my husband and I jump out of bed! We have no idea what caused it but it gave us both a good scare!... More

I have stayed at the Palmer House several times when in the area, and I will continue to do so. The atmosphere of this historic hotel is absolutely charming. From the tin ceilings and classic style cafe, to the warmth of the fireplace in the lounge, it just feels like home. Kelley and the Staff at the Palmer are always... More

The Hotel itself is a fun place but the service or should I say lack of service ruined our stay. There was no one at the front desk to check us in-the waitress from the restaurant had to check us in after about a 20 minute wait-there also was no one to check us out . Then when we ate... More
