It was a perfect hotel for an overnight stay. It was in a great location and the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet once the street noise died down. Request an inside room.

Large (compared to NYC, at least!), nice room, great bed. One fault, which stood out in an otherwise excellent room - kind of ragged shower curtain. Inexplicable really. Great towels, too.

## Review for Kimpton Palomar This property is a total gem. It has such a charming, boutique feel that sets it apart from the larger, more sterile hotel chains. The atmosphere is stylish and intimate, making the whole stay feel much more personal. The staff truly made the experience exceptional. A huge thank. they were absolutely wonderful, incredibly attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a spot with character and top-tier service, this is it.

The hotel and room was great, super clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful - we enjoyed ourselves. The only minor issue was that our otherwise wonderful and huge bathroom had some maintenance problems (non functional drain in tub that was addressed but not fixed in the time we were there, and a loose shower handle). We thought the breakfast was great, with especially high praise for the chocolate chip pancakes and yogurt and fruit/ chia combo. Thank you!

The place is great. The front staff is great. The restaurant is also really nice. The bartenders - especially Quint is awesome! Get yourself an espresso martini every morning, they are worth it. Only downfall is the elevators are slow and the maids are horrible!
