The hotel was very nicely decorated but the rooms were very small and didn't have a dresser. We stayed four nights/five days which made having only a closet with a few hangers very impractical. The bathroom door did not close all the way. The bed was very uncomfortable. The staff was pretty friendly, but they didn't have directions to commonly... more

The location is excellent. Had a room overlooking Market St, 8th floor, and it was a little noisy at night, specially ambulances/police in the middle of the night. The rooms are small. Would I stay again in it, maybe. The best thing of this hotel is it's location, the worst, the rooms should be a tad bigger and better window... more

Stayed here for a week in April 2008 and would very highly recommend. Very central location but rooms facing courtyard are very quiet. Excellent facilities and unobtrusive but very friendly service. more

We had a wonderful stay at the Palomar this past weekend. Originally we booked one night, but extented one more night because we enjoyed it so much. (they even honored the same rate we paid for the first night although they were selling their rooms for more than twice as much on the hotel's website) - we paid $159/nite which... more

I stayed here in May for 2 nights. It is a lovely hotel! The reception were very friendly. I had a room on the 8th floor which overlooked the courtyard. It was very quiet yet centrally located. The room was big and spacious. A nice place to come back to after a busy day with friends and sightseeing. It was... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Palomar for four nights in June. As may be expected in downtown San Francisco, the rooms are quite small, but they were very clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom is also small. Also as expected in downtown SF, the hotel is expensive. If you're already spending that much, I'd suggest the chain... more

This hotels location is great and within walking distance to everything. You are right next to Union Square, China Town, and about a 15 min walk to the Embarcadero. The hotel rooms are small but nice. So if you are looking for lots of space, look else where. The room has a desk, bed, flat screen t.v. and an updated... more

Stayed here earlier in the year for a week. Great location, had a 7th? floor room overlooking the Mac store. Although street noise was a concern, it was quiet at night (wife thought it was noisier than normal but I did not) Tiny lobby, however there were common areas as well as a fairly large dining room/restaurant on the upper... more

By far, the most pleasing stay I've had in any hotel. The Hotel Palomar is a gem in the heart of San Francisco's downtown district, boasting a level of service that blew us away. They took care of our every need, even printing out our airline boarding passes for us upon our check-out. The hotel is spotless, and the Fifth... more

I stayed here for 5 nights on business. The location was absolutely superb. I took the BART in from the airport and it was barely 5 mins walk which is easy these days with with suitcase you can pull behind you. I also took the BART back when i left. Its so easy and just $5. The room was furnished... more
