The hotel

A sanctuary of style and subtlety in SoCal, Hotel Palomar’s both high-design and low-key. Inside, Brazilian walnut and Jerusalem bone limestone are set against calm earthy colours. And luxury features like the wine reception and gym are set against homely touches, like morning hot drinks. Curadero, the hotel’s flagship restaurant, creates a celebration of soulful Mexican street food with mindfully mixed cocktails. The Level Four rooftop pool and lounge features cocktails with a pool menu and downtown views any time of year. And downtown’s your address here, near the Victorian buildings of the shop and restaurant filled Gaslamp district.

Describe the service you experienced: Everyone here was very very nice and responsive. The room was SO clean and spotless, and the bed very comfortable. The room service meal was excellent and I also ate once at the restaurant in the hotel, also very good. My last night there, I was awoken at 3 am by new and very noisy guests next door to me. I called the front desk and they immediately sent security up, who shut down the noise. What I liked least is that the hotel is right in the center of the city, and my view was the top of other buildings (I didn't realize when I made my reservation that I'd be in this kind of location, but still, this would not prevent me from staying here again).

Very nice hotel in a great location. I have zero complaints except the TV needs to be upgraded to allow streaming. Channel selection is poor. And it doesn’t offer HBO which is a deal breaker when Game of Thrones is airing it’s final season. Yeah. I would have stayed elsewhere.

Juan at the front desk was amazing. So friendly and helpful. The room was clean and I like the snacks they provide in the rooms. The location is perfect and so close to everything. I would definitely stay there again.
