My room was spotless and extremely charming, but the best part was the French restaurant next door. Also, there are beautiful long tables to work from during the day, which, if you are traveling alone makes you feel part of a community.

If you’re looking for personality and San Diego history in the Gaslamp District, this hotel delivers. From the vintage 1913 elevator to the cozy rooms, I truly enjoyed my stay here. The rooftop patio is a showstopper and offers a great place to relax and see the city below. Staff were courteous, the restaurant lovely, and the front desk very helpful. The bed is comfy and the in-room bar fridge is stocked. I loved the vibe here, but it’s not for you if you don’t appreciate the quirky bits that come along with a heritage building.

I’ve stayed in Palihotels before so despite the reviews I wanted to try it myself. Before I even got to my room I was stuck on the elevator…the doors on the vintage lift are super heavy and only one elevator was working so it was a wait every time (it wouldn’t be bad if I wasn’t on the 9th floor) the queen hotel room is extremely tiny, you can’t even open your luggage without it hitting the wall, but didn’t matter as much bc I unpacked and was able to tuck my luggage next to the AC. Apart from that staff is great, restaurant/bar was too as well as the food. Just be aware if you’ve stayed at Palihotels before this one is more on the smaller side.
