This was our second time staying time at the Palomar. We love the boutique feel. We got a room with a jetted tub so we could take a soak after dinner. The happy hour wine and coffee bar in the morning are great perks. Parking is tough in the area but the valet is super convenient and quick. Will definitely be back!

The helpful kindness of the staff from first to last, including the check ups via text, were excellent. The food and drink in the resto was delicious. Room was very spacious and the shower and tub room combo was an unexpected treat. The daily wine bar happy hour with truffle oil popcorn served by staff was unexpected and delightful.

The ladies at the front desk were really nice and helpful and every time we entered and exited the hotel, nice gentlemen would open the door for us. We appreciated that. They had free wine in the lobby between 5 and 6pm, we thought that was cool. However, the deadbolt lock for our room was not functioning properly, so we couldn't use it to latch and lock the door. The menu wouldn't allow us to see any room service options on the TV, so we didn't end up ordering the room service we wanted while we stayed. The remote was tough to use, the button had to be pressed really hard to function. There was no menu or number for the restaurant/food in the room. The cordless room phone to call the front desk was also not working. The switches for our room lights were in weird spots and the dimmable lights would flicker with dimming. The bed was comfy but the jetted tub was awesome and made this hotel room worth it to me, There should be a railing on or near the tub though, it felt easy to fall and dangerous to get in and out of it. At least a slip proof mat would help. Even with these critiques we had a very pleasant stay and would def stay here again.
