We Love Pali-Everything
We absolutely love the Pali world. We are life long fans and will always book with them if they are in an area we are staying in. The attention to detail, hospitality, and comfort is unmatched. They make you feel like you never left home. We have stayed at Palihotel SF several times and loved it every time. The only reason we rated lower (4 star) for this particular stay is because the 2nd floor bar was not operational which is a favorite feature for us. There was also wild protests that woke us up at 7am every morning. Definitely not something Palihotel had any control over but it dampened the experience significantly so it is worth noting.

6/10 Good

Palihotel staff were great and the hotel itself is beautiful. However, there was a protest right outside our window (banging drums, playing loud music, screaming into megaphones) in front of the neighboring hotel that started at 6a and went on for the rest of the day and then started back up again before 6a the next morning. I was not able to get any sleep and feel sick today. I absolutely believe in the right to protected activity and empathize with the hotel workers, but it was a rough night due to the extgremely loud noise. :(

4/10 Fair

Disengaged staff and lacking natural light
I've stayed at several Pali locations, most recently in LA. This property is dark and lacks natural light. Some of that can't be helped. The staff was utterly lacking in customer service or caring for that matter. When I asked for a couple glasses I was told to us our coffee cups. We asked for a couple coffee pods, we were told housekeeping wasn't in and they would send some up, they never arrived. Feels like something the front desk person could have handed out from a drawer and made that easy. Overall just lackluster experience, staff just didn't care and couldn't be bothered.

ok
The location of the hotel is fine. Close to everything. However, we doubt whether we are confusing "old and worn" with "vintage". We think the hotel appeared quite worn. The staff on site was incredibly nice and helpful. I give them 5 stars because they do it really well! The rooms were nice. Really good beds. The shower handle was loose and fell off. One of our sheets was torn in two places. It seems very strange that we did not notice or respond to this. Secondly, we booked a hotel for 3 adults, but we only had towels for 2. We got extra without any problems, but it's just strange that it wasn't included from the start.

A typical SF hotel where parking fee is always required and it can be sometimes hard to find parking. There is a parking structure right across from the hotel. The hotel is quaint and small, but its also in front of a crazy busy street. The room itself was cute and small, perfect for 2! We enjoyed how it looked and even enjoyed some of the drinks and snacks they had to offer.

Historic, low-key chic
Historic yet hip, low-key chic, tranquil design vibes, all of which are a big plus in my book. Kind, friendly staff.

This is a wonderful old style hotel, but tastefully remodelled. The coffee room in the morning is elegant- from a bygone era. Most of all, the staff and guests were all very friendly. It was really a nice stay, and the prices are very reasonable. Location hard to beat. I'll be back
