I found this gem by chance on the way to the coast. I had no reservations and as luck would have it, they had a room. I have recommended this place to all my friends/family. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are neat & clean. For it being a smaller hotel, they offer wireless internet and have lots of channels to choose from. I can not say enough good things about The Palomar Inn. more

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at the Palomar. It's a cute little motel only a couple blocks away from the ocean. It was very clean, quiet, and for the money, quite a good deal. This place reminded me of something from the 60's...had that nostalgic feel to it which added to the charm.
For something budget-friendly, I'd recommend the Palomar and would definitely stay there again.
