Score 4.0 / 5

Well, there were some good restaurants and the St. John's River is an attraction. The best thing though was the help we received from the Palatka Chamber of Commerce. Our daughter was in hospice at a care center in Palatka and we came down from MN. We tried to make reservations at about every motel in Palatka and each one told us they were full due to a Georgia Power Conference being held. We were desperate so we called the Chamber of Commerce and a woman there did all she could to try to find us a place to stay. She was the best thing about Palatka.
