Palihotel San Diego

It was clean and well maintained.

It was an older building, which maybe I should have been aware of, so some things I can chalk up to that. A lot of natural light due to the large windows, but because of the large windows the room heated up very quickly from the warm weather outside which made the a/c work double time. During my stay the room was at 77 when I arrived and leaving the a/c on at 65 for the entire stay only lowered the temperature to 75. There was no vent in the bathroom so even a lukewarm shower heated it up and the humidity just sort of stayed stuck. I’m a relatively small person and the shower (in my room) was small. I could touch both sides at the same time with my elbows. The space to walk between the wall and the end was maybe 1.5 feet wide, so I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you have more than a couple bags. Hardly any room for my 2 carry on bags. Older building also meant older elevator and tiny, for everyone, including staff. Ending up using the stairs because of the wait or the fact that it would get stuck on floors. It’s a very nice hotel, the evening staff was very friendly. Room service was unavailable but not sure why. But the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, albeit very warm even with the a/c on.

I loved the style of the room and the antiques. They did renovate it. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and we loved the roof top ! Even though the bar wasn't opened for the two days. Maybe on weekends only?

We got charged for mini bar items. We made sure we did not touch the food or mini bar items in the hotel, which were overpriced. If it wasn't for me checking my bank account and final checkout receipt from the hotel, I wouldn't have noticed the extra charges. I texted them about them about situation. They said they would notify management and 2 hours later they refunded me my money. Also parking was a lot but hey now we know for next time. Valet is offered which is good

Love the character. Very fun and whimsical facilities. From the Lobby, to the hallways and rooms. Even the elevators have a cool story to tell.

It’s nostalgic Parisian feeling.
