“Lovely Business Trip Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

I stayed at the Palomar for a weekend business trip on recommendation. When I called to make the reservation the staff recommeded I sign up for the rewards program which gave me great benefits such as free wifi and a $10 credit to the mini bar. This was my first visit to LA as well as to this Kimpton property and was very pleased with the overall experience. The staff were very nice, accomodating and very helpful every day. The lovely touches such as the comlimentary coffee, tea and fruit water in the morning and the complimentary wine at 5PM all in the lobby was a delight for me. My room was stylish, comfortable and very clean. There was even a framed picture of my husband and I waiting for me in my room (they requested a picture prior to my stay). There was never a wait for valet and I always felt very welcome after a long days work. This hotel is pet friendly, which normally turns me off but the animals looked so happy waking around the property and I sometimes forgot they were there. Although I didn't get to see the sights, it is located near West Hollywood, near the 405 and close to some nice restaurants, tourist spots and shopping. Should I ever go back to LA, I will definitely try and stay at Hotel Palomar again. Thanks so much!

“Very attentive staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2013

I stayed for a spring break trip with friends recently and was blown away by the staff. Christan and DIam (forgive me if I spelled it incorrectly) were awesome and very welcoming upon our arrival and continued that standard throughout the stay. My first trip ever to the west coast was very enjoyable mostly because the hotel kept me busy being located minuets from all the action. The palomar just became my LA getaway.

Room Tip: The spa sweets are well worth the quality.

“Very nice and responsive staff; wonderful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

I have had two stays here. The staff here go out of their way to be friendly. It has nice touches. I especially like the water flavored with fresh fruit or cucumbers in the lobby. The rooms are comfortable and have many nice touches. Everything is set up to make a guest happy. If you can get a room on a high floor with a view toward LA it's really an amazing view, and I don't especially like LA.

Room Tip: Ask for a high floor on the LA side ( not the wilshire side) I got it both times

“Wonderful Staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Booked an overnight stay to attend a UCLA Baseball game. I only live an hour and a half away, but the ongoing 405 Freeway Construction Nightmare led me to your wonderful hotel. Even though the hotel was having its own computer snafu at check-in the staff took care of making me comfortable until the computers were up and running. Wine hour made the hour quickly pass and my keys were ready. The fitness room was excellent and I really appreciated not having an overhead TV blaring ESPN in the room. (People that is what the individual TV Monitors on the treadmills are for.) My husband and I had Sunday breakfast at BLVD 16 located in the hotel and it was wonderful. The entire Staff was very friendly. I had one little problem with a mini bar charge at checkout and Juan at the front desk did take care of it for me. BRAVO! I will be back and look for the Kimpton Hotel when I travel,
