Stayed for 3 nights in early November. Check in was quick and easy and the bell desk brought the bags up to the room quickly. They have a wine happy hour in the lobby from 5-6pm and we arrived a few minutes too late for it as they had put everything away already. We asked though if there was anything still open and it was no problem for the bellman to bring up 3 glasses of wine to our room. Above and beyond service! Another highlight were the fish tacos in the hotel restaurant, delicious and the happy hour special was a good value.

The room was large, modern and clean. We had a Vista King Spa Suite. The bathroom was as large as some rooms I've stayed in in NYC or Paris. You could swim in the Jacuzzi.

Overall a complaint free and fantastic stay, Will recommend to friends and stay again when in LA. Easy access to the West side, Santa Monica, Getty, and Beverly Hills.

Clean, comfortable bed in a small, but adequate room. Hotel lobby seems to come alive during the afternoon wine tastings, which also featured a couple of nice cocktails, apps and desserts. Location is good if you're doing something at UCLA but is a decent drive to the water or downtown LA.

Unfortunately, room type wasn't available at check-in; I had to be moved to a different room on the 2nd day of a 3 night stay; both the first room and the second room were directly next to the elevators on a middle floor rather than the away from elevators on a high floor, which was confirmed at reservation. Didn't seem like anyone was focused on fixing any of the issues. Pretty disappointing Kimpton experience.

I've stayed at the Palomar several times for both business and pleasure, alone and with my family. The staff is unfailingly welcoming and friendly and the vibe in the lobby inviting. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. If you have a dog you can bring it, but if you don't you won't feel in anyway intruded upon by others' pets. When my daughter has joined me she has enjoyed the pool. I'm a big Kimpton fan--they always do it right. The hotel is on a rather deserted strip, but you can walk to Westwood in about 15 minutes. Or, heck, it's L.A. what are you doing walking anyway? DRIVE!

After attending a conference in Anaheim me and my friend decided to venture into Los Angeles for a few days and found the Hotel Palomar right in the middle of everything we needed. The rooms where spacious and well kitted out and if there was anything you needed including a coffee maker, toothbrush, hair brush or anything else you might have forgotten their concierge team are always able to help out.

The one fault I found was that the Internet connection was very intermittent. As someone who was sat planning meetings with prospective sponsors for an event skyping was almost impossible. I did make the front desk aware a few times but the internet is dealt with by an outside company who made a log of the issue. Not the hotels fault but it did cause an inconvenience.

All in all it was a nice hotel and the staff where very good :)
