Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
My first impression was that of a 100 yr old flophouse with a fresh coat of drab paint. Over priced for passing itself off as an interesting reminder of hotel conditions in the 1890's. We returned at 11 pm following dinner to find the hotel valet service took over a dozen public parking spots charging $60 to park from 11pm to 7am. The 2 elevators are 100 yrs old, hold 2-3 people, sound and feel like they are unsafe. One staff member said the city was trying to have them replaced. There was a bottle of water in the room available for $16. Bottom line is . . never again!

Shady charges

They charged me for mini bar that I did not use. After saying they’d refund me, they never processed. It’s crazy because they advertise fridges, but it’s stocked with expired goods without any room for you. Hotel wall soundproofing is nonexistent. Saving grace was the restaurant bar.

Mattress seemed a bit soft and broken down on one side. Could not figure out how to make the heater warm up the room. Bed was made without top sheet, only had bottom sheet and duvet covered comforter which was heavy and uncomfortable

Pali Hotel was an overall great experience for my husband and I during our anniversary trip. The parking situation is insane in San Diego; you will pay an outrageous amount to park whether you pay valet or for public parking. The elevator is historic, just like the building itself. We really enjoyed it, and weren't in a rush, but if you are, I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you are trying to move quickly through your day. The service provided was wonderful; the staff were very courteous and prompt.

Lovely hotel. Good quality/ price

Lovely hotel. Some rooms have windows to the interior court. We can hear very clearly the outdoor noise from the street sometimes. But after a certain hour, the area is pretty quiet. Great food at the restaurant. Awesome view from the rooftop patio. Just one step away from the comedy show. Good quality/ price.
