Just say no to Pali SD
Lobby is nice. Service is as expected. Rooms are terribly tiny. Bathroom worse. Worse than Tokyo or NYC. No closet. Elevator horror show. Vintage which means one out of service. Original doors impossible to operate. Dangerous. Very slow. Even smaller. Ten minute wait each time. We will not stay at a Pali hotel after this.

Below expectations
Hotel is nice but old (historic) but not up kept. The lobby and restaurant downstairs were remodeled nicely with a nautical theme but that’s about it. The elevator is old school, with the steel cage that you have to pull back to go in and only one was working this weekend so we opted for stairs. The rooms are small, noise insulation is minimal - you can hear the loud music/voices from the Gaslamp district, when people shower, and the hum of the motor from the mini fridge is annoying too. Service at the front desk was slow. When we first got there we were ignored for a good 5 minutes - so we’re just standing around awkwardly until one of the three front desk people (who were “busy” typing away in the empty lobby) looked up. Overall not impressed with the hotel. Only good thing was right next door to the American Comedy Co (came to town for a show).

Very Pleasant Experience
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the brief conversation with a staff member’s about the history of the building. I will be staying here again on my next visit to San Diego.

Charming Historic Hotel
This is a charming historic hotel. With original elevator's dating to 1913. It was very clean, the restaurant was good, the staff was excellent. My only complaint is the window air conditioning unit. It was noisy when cycling on and off. I was in town for business and had early morning meetings, which is not fun when you don't sleep well.

Quaint Historic Downtown Treasure
Loved the super charming, historic Pali Hotel!!. Decorated beautifully with no small detail left overlooked, it transcended me into a much earlier era. I will definitely be back for the hotel and diner. I look forward to the rooftop as I did not experience this time around.

Not great service, staff or room
Rude staff - didn’t help with luggage (they shared they would put my luggage in my room for me), I could hear music and the bass from outside of my room and was told I would get a new room but didn’t - I probably would have been more comfortable in a holiday inn :(

8/10 Very good

The good: Beautiful hotel, great decor, comfortable bedding, great food. The Bad: parking fee of $60 a night as a hotel guest is a rip off and the restaurant staff was beyond unfriendly, they looked so annoyed every time someone walked in the door, took forever to acknowledge us, the female worker would completely ignore us whenever we tried to get her attention. Took our order and never made our drinks. Elevator gate is very heavy, they need someone to help guest get in when they have luggage

Not a great hotel
An “historic” building so quirky rooms that are not for business travelers or for anyone that likes quiet or daylight. AC units very noisy and don’t get room very cool. Saw three rooms and all face interior air shafts. So stuffy. No desks and one little garbage can is bathroom for a suite and a one bedroom, which was odd.

Business Trip Turned Vacation
We only stayed for 1 night, but very much enjoyed our time at the hotel. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The Saint James bar and restaurant is fabulous!
This was the Happy Hour’s “Cocktail of the Day”. A Rosè and Thyme infused Gimlet. Delicious!!!
Known as the “Wink and a Nudge”, this specialty cocktail has just the right amount of spice to complement the sweet and smoky of the Mezcal.
