“Enjoyable Stay at Palomar”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

My wife and I planned a short getaway trip to San Diego midweek. We chose the Palomar San Diego because of its proximity to the Gaslamp District and Kimpton's overall reputation for being the best in the boutique hotel sector. Overall, we had a great stay. The arrival process was seamless, despite arriving around 12:30pm. The room was ready! Nicole,... More

There were some great features and some drawbacks as well though The good: Fantastic rooftop pool with great staff. Restaurant next door is great. Happy hour free wine and beer is a nice touch. Location is great, easy walking to Gaslamp. The bad: Was quite noisy, with construction right out front. Hard to get a decent sleep. I reserved the... More

“Another excellent stay at the Kimpton”

Just returned from a stay at the Palomar. Upon arrival I was upgraded to a suite which was actually a luxury one bedroom apartment with balcony and view of the city and harbor. The staff at both the hotel and spa were wonderful and very professional. I highly recommend this hotel in the middle of the fun Gaslight district.

I am so glad you had another excellent stay with Kimpton. Our flats are such a great place to spend a weekend. I'm glad you loved our staff and Sé Spa. Come back and try Saltbox or Summersalt our pool bar on your next excellent visit. Cheers, Mark More

“A very attentive staff”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

The hotel is ideally located in the Gaslamp district on 5th Avenue. This gives easy access to the convention center and all the restaurants and entertainment venues in this lively area. The service is outstanding. I had a nice suite with a nice view from the 14th floor. The room however is a bit worn and could be spruced up... More

I am glad you enjoyed your visit to the Hotel Palomar and the Gaslamp. I am glad you got to get out and Live Like a Local. Make sure you try Saltbox next visit. Chef Simon's food is amazing. Hotel Solamar our sister property is just on down the street. JSix is another great restaurant. More

“IMPRESSED!!”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

Great location!! It is right by the middle of the Gaslamp, Petco Ballpark and just restaurants/bars and everything. The rooms were spacious, clean and overall, impressive. The staff was friendly and family friendly (board games available for free) despite it being quite "business" orientated. The pool and outdoor bar area was BEAUTIFUL!!! The cabanas were a nice touch!

Thanks for the great comments sunlit12. I am so happy you and your family had a wonderful stay. Hopefully you got to try some of Saltbox's delicious food and drink while at the poolbar, Summersalt. Make sure you try Sé Spa on your next visit. They will pamper you! More

This is right in the middle of the Gaslamp District, with lots of restaurants and bars within an easy walk. My room was clean and in good shape, if a bit small. The staff were friendly and helpful in every way. There is a free wine hour in the evening, so if you're there to party, you've come to the... More

“Beyond REPROACH!!!”

Reviewed 1 May 2013 via mobile

Hotel Palomar sets the standard for ALL hotels worldwide...the staff is AMAZING!!! The Director of Front Desk Operations, Johnson, is a throwback to the days of when no request is beyond realization. I would recommend Hotel Palomar to anyone looking for the ULTIMATE experience visiting San Diego!!! Alexander

Thank you c2shooter for your awesome review! Johnson is our Rock Star!! I really appreciate the great comments. Next time try Saltbox Dining & Drinking and Sé Spa. They are both beyond reproach as well! More
