Hotel was not what I expected from photos online - and the elevator was just plain scary; very glad we were on the second floor. We were told there was not a sofa bed in the room. When we got to our room, there was a sofa bed - and we found a pair of men's black underwear inside the bed - a little disgusting and accounting for the less than average cleanliness score. I was charged for two overnight valet parking; the second night we used the LAZ lot next door. When I called the hotel, they immediately adjusted my invoice and sent me the updated receipt- for which I gave them a good rating compared to my other average / less than average scores. Thank you!

Oldie but a goodie
Excellent staff all around. Beds and sofa bed were very comfortable. Shower temperature and pressure were very good. Elevator is an antique but part of the charm. Request a room away from it if you don’t want to hear it. Other than that, no noise issues. Rooftop terrace is great! Great spot in Gaslamp. Easy walk to plenty of restaurants and entertainment. Would definitely stay here again.

I have stayed here a few times and we love it! Everything is clean, staff in the front are very nice and go over everything you need to know! There is a small restaurant downstairs that has happy hour and food was very good as well as good drink offers! It feels like home, definitely will be staying here again!

Decent room for the price. TV and AC in the room didn’t work, plus parking in the area is a hassle if you don’t do it through the overpriced valet service. One of the elevators was not working and made going to and from our floor difficult. Overall the stay was good for what it was but will probably not be coming back in the near future.

Palihotel is so charming and cute. It had everything I needed and then some. Amazing roof top deck, the restaurant is yum. Comedy club and authentic taco joint right next door. Great place to hang out while you are waiting for your flight upon checkout. Nice central location with a 20 min drive to La Jolla.

Rooms were good , smaller than I anticipated but really just used for sleeping , One elevator was down , understandable because the building is very old . I loved the bathroom , the tile was beautiful , I had a very large bathroom which I liked . Location was good for the Gaslamp experience. Overall good stay. The rooftop area is cute , bar not open in the winter.

Interesting old hotel. Everything has been upgraded to meet modern luxury expectations but the room layout is little quirky.

Could have been better
The hotel was funky and fun, the restaurant was very good, and the staff was super. Unfortunately the room was really disappointing - tiny, barely room to move around the bed, and a heater that sounded like an idling truck engine.

I didn’t like that the hotel doesn’t disclose that “pet friendly” isn’t clarified in the fact that they’re going to charge 100$ fee. And after already paying for the room, I didn’t have much of a choice to cancel the room due to me already paying for it. So the hotel puts you in a position where they’re going to twist your arm into forking over money. Which is honestly a sleazy thing to do to people. Also, they don’t bother cleaning the rooms we left a sign on the door requesting cleaning room services and it never came. The hotel clerk at check in seemed unhelpful and didn’t have any interest in the issues we experienced. When I mentioned that nobody came to clean the room his response verbatim was “I don’t know what to tell you”. Not only that I smelled alcohol in his breathe and seemed to have either been drinking alcohol prior to check out or during the time he was at work. Overall bad experience won’t be coming here again. But will definitely expose this place.
