6/10 Good

Cute hotel

It was a nice vintage hotel, the elevators are very small and old school, which was nice to experience. However, if you have lots of luggage it’ll be a problem. The rooms are VERY small and the AC is not strong, I would not recommend to stay here during the summer or if you want strong AC
Marivel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great atmosphere from the classic time of 1930s. Excellent stay at hotel but sometimes too noisy on the street.
Peter, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Old style charm

Old classic style. Elevators built 1913. Super cool vibe. Great bar attached. Parking hard to find but valet parking available for $65 (UGG). But enjoyed our stay.

Super cute hotel! Clean, quiet, great location and the roof top is stunning!
Monica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Palihotel is an amazing spot to see Gaslamp and downtown San Diego. The elevator is slow, but it adds to the charm of the hotel. Beautiful rooftop, cool restaurant next door; and quirky rooms add to the unique feel

Tired from not sleeping 🌙

Bed was not comfortable. Room was small.
Lisa, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lots of character

We had a very cute and small king room. It definitely felt like an old hotel. The original elevators were neat but slow. It was July but the duvet seemed like a very warm winter one. There are no blackout blinds, only slatted blinds. The restaurant in the hotel was cute, not a wide menu.
Ann, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Antique character and decor adds charm in the rooms,lobby and elevator. Music from club next door could be heard until 2:00am,after that complete silence
Patricia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cozy and a little noisy.

The place was clean and smaller than expected. The window was broken and staff was notified. It was a little noisy than expected later in the evening. The elevator was challenging with a lot of character. The staff were great (including the valet parking) and the rooftop view is amazing.

Staff is amazing. Deff would stay here again
Alejandra E, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

overpriced 4 star hotel

We stayed at this hotel for 4 days. Our room was not serviced at all for the entire stay. Beds never done, towels never replaced, tea and coffee never replenished. Worst of all the bed occupied 3/4 of the size of the room.The smallest room of any hotel stay in my life. I would never ever stay here again.
