Overall the stay was awesome and so was the staff. The restaurant staff was a little unfriendly on Saturday night so we didn’t eat any meals at the hotel but there are so many options in the Gaslamp area and close by. This hotel is an older building so also there was a lot of noise both from traffic in the hallway and from all the activity outside. That wasn’t enough to wreck the experience.

Property was beautiful and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Only downside was the thin walls, all night there was a couple arguing next door and we could hear everything! The rooftop has an amazing view, bummed it was closed for the season, but will definitely have to visit in the summertime. Overall Palihotel is definitely a hidden gem in Gaslamp Quarters.

The rooftop was sooo cute! It's the cutest one I've seen so far (not that I've seen many) and it's especially nice on a sunny day. Definitely worth going to! Plus the elevators look like Old England, it was really fun and would recommend going back to

I came for Valentine's Day weekend with my girlfriend. The valet staff on 2/14/2025 at around 7/8pm was so friendly from the first moment. The woman who checked us in was kind of rude initially but I think as the conversation continued she chilled out. My girlfriend and I both thought it was weird that she came off like that. All the other staff was super great though. When checking out the man on Sunday afternoon and the lady were both so friendly. Loved the style of the hotel definitely close to the city so you can hear that pretty clearly. The walls are a little thin. I had done my research previously so I wasn't upset. Would definitely come back!

A/C wasn’t working, called several times and waited and waited and no one showed up. After 11pm called again and front desk finally showed up to hit a switch and didn’t say a word about the inconvenience of all the time wasted. Although I love the charm & history of the hotel (built in 1912) but the room was EXTREMELY small. The bed and the walk space from 1 side of the bed to the other wouldn’t fit a toddler let alone two grown adults (my husband could not get to the other side of the room unless he climbed across the bed. Valet was full so we had to unload and park a few blocks down the street. There was a person rolling around on the street next to the valet stand with his entire lower body exposed. All and all it was a disappointing stay for our Valentines weekend. We were not offered any VIP upgrades or benefits as stated in the Expedia booking.
