awesome location and far from the experience of a "chain" hotel. great "old style" gaited elevator (historic) and the roof was amazing but unfortunately roof bar was not open. price point was great and room was smallish but well decorated and had all I needed and the Gaslamp district was right out the door. relatively easy walk to conference center and this hotel was closer to where you want to be for dining etc than the big expensive hotels by conference center. would happily stay again.

Had an excellent stay at the pali hotel. Very cute, clean facilities/room and convenient location in the Gaslamp quarters. The room was a little loud overnight due to the location around clubs/bars but was worth it for the comfort and convenience of the stay. Would recommend to others!

Just say no to Pali SD
Lobby is nice. Service is as expected. Rooms are terribly tiny. Bathroom worse. Worse than Tokyo or NYC. No closet. Elevator horror show. Vintage which means one out of service. Original doors impossible to operate. Dangerous. Very slow. Even smaller. Ten minute wait each time. We will not stay at a Pali hotel after this.

6/10. This hotel is very old and only had one working elevator when I checked in that was very slow. The rooms are cozy, but not spacious. Keep in mind the showers are also tiny and the surrounding area is incredibly loud.

Loved the decor of the hotel. The property was maintained very well. One of the elevators was out of service, but that didn't bother us. The stairs were very convenient and well lite. Location was walking distance to Gaslamp, which had a great nightlife and wonderful restaurants. Weekends nights can get noisy, but again we chose this hotel for the location so we knew what the noise level was and weren't bothered by it at all. We will for sure be coming back to enjoy this wonderful spot! Oh and valet parking was a great perk!!

Below expectations
Hotel is nice but old (historic) but not up kept. The lobby and restaurant downstairs were remodeled nicely with a nautical theme but that’s about it. The elevator is old school, with the steel cage that you have to pull back to go in and only one was working this weekend so we opted for stairs. The rooms are small, noise insulation is minimal - you can hear the loud music/voices from the Gaslamp district, when people shower, and the hum of the motor from the mini fridge is annoying too. Service at the front desk was slow. When we first got there we were ignored for a good 5 minutes - so we’re just standing around awkwardly until one of the three front desk people (who were “busy” typing away in the empty lobby) looked up. Overall not impressed with the hotel. Only good thing was right next door to the American Comedy Co (came to town for a show).
