“I just became a huge fan!”

Was a little nervous booking since we have never stayed at a Palomar before but it FAR exceeded any expectations. The hotel was BEAUTIFUL, the staff was absolutely top and we loved every single thing about our stay. Beautiful rooftop pool, heated to 80degrees so we could swim at night. Even a bartender and appy's available at poolside. I will DEFINATELY be returning!

“Swank hotel, perfect for after the show.”

Stayed here with two suites for one night after a show at House of Blues. The location is obviously perfect, since it's next door. Staff was extraordinary. Opening doors, parking the car, moving the bags, all with a smile and without me feeling like it was all about the tip. Great work ladies and gents. The place was very clean and fashionably decorated. Really enjoyed being there, even the lobby felt like a destination (sounds ridiculous but try it, you'll see). The complementary wine was a nice touch, since we had just arrived from a bit of a drive from Los Angeles. I recommend staying here if you're anywhere near the Gaslamp Quarter.

“Wonderful experience!”

I had only come to lean that this hotel had been newly opened after having checked in. The staff was super courteous and the room was lovely. When I checked in, they made sure I had one off the best rooms available on a higher floor. Then, when I had forgotten my charger for my phone, the front desk attendant said that while they didn't have one available but then offered to load me her own personal charger. Wow! How cool. Later, upon requesting a late checkout (which is normally noon), they offered to let me stay until 3:00! Lounging about the room until the ray afternoon in the comfy animal print bath robes and ordering room service was the perfect end to a great night in San Diego. Oh, and the food is great, too. Don't miss the short rib grilld cheese from the Saltbox restaurant. I'll be staying there again next time I'm in town.

“Number 1 Big Door Hotel”

Firstly I surprised to face up the Big Door opened by porter. It's amazing!! Secondly I enjoyed the bar every night to drink some fantastic cocktail in gougeous mood. So I had a good sleep well.

Dining
There are a lot of nice dining including Sushi restaurant around the hotel.
