I stayed here with my family for 3 nights over the weekend. We paid for an upgrade to the deluxe suite. When we arrived, we were a little disappointed in the room. It was very clean, but felt a bit tired, and for the money we were paying, expected much more. That said, the size was good, and the bed... More

I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff at this place, especially the concierge. Each and everyone behind that front desk was full of wonderful suggestions which were given with a smile and a great attitude. I think we lucked out on a room as we were on the top floor interior corner. I originally thought I would've prefferred... More

I stayed here while in town on business. The location was fantastic - I could get just about anywhere without the use of taxis. It was quiet and, given that I was working full days, I felt well taken care of and could get much needed rest. The room was spacious and my overall stay was much better than I... More

Palomar is situated close to Moscone Center and BART - great location for shopping and dining. Bristol Farms market is just around the corner to purchase any food or sundry items you might need for your stay. I buy soy milk for coffee or cereal and the refrigerator in the suite works well to keep small items chilled. The Palomar... More

We stayed at the Palomar in Union Square, San Francisco for 4 nights between Christmas and New Years and we very impressed. From the moment we arrived the staff were extremely helpful and friendly making sure that we felt right at home. Staff went above and beyond offering suggestions of things to do and see. The free bikes were awesome... More

The Palomar is near the Moscone Center, very close to the Powell St BART stop and the Westfield Shopping Ctr and the Yerba Buena Gardens. What more can one ask? The rooms are well organized and the staff is exceptionally helpful. It's a quiet place and, for me, the best site for a Moscone conference. More

We stayed four nights at the Palomar for an event at the Moscone Center. It's very convenient to walk to Moscone and there are lots of shops, restaurants and cafes nearby. If you want to sightsee, it's very close to Union Square to pick up a cable car and get around the town. The service levels are very good --... More

From the outside the hotel seems plain and run-of-the-mill. But the inside and the personnel are a gem. Mr.Chris Smith our hats off to you! You run an excellent hotel with an equally excellent staff. We have been to San Francisco so many times before and stayed at different place. We have finally found a place we would like to... More

My wife and I were going to see Bob Seger in Oakland but wanted to stay in San francisco. I chose the Palomar because rooms were on sale and the proximity to the Powell St BART station. Everybody was friendly and helpful. Valet parking was on sight and you had full access to your car. The room was very clean... More
