I enjoyed staying at the Hotel Palomar, and thought the location was great for the touristy part of SF. Half a block to the BART and Muni, which made travel to other neighborhoods and the airport easy, and short walk to Union Sqaure, Yerba Buena gardens, lots of shopping, etc. Staff at check-in were helpful, and the room was nicely... more

I love Kimpton properties in general - Stayed here for business. Walking distance to the convention center. Nice updated rooms... flat screen tv. Great service - from the bellmen to the front desk. Had some slow service for breakfast but the waitress was very nice about it.. I actuall fell in the middle of the restaurant and no one came... more

This hotel is in a great location but as several reviewers have stated the rooms are very small. The big problem we had here was the michelin star restaurant, located on the 5th floor. The food was lovely but our table was situated near the air conditioning vent and it was absolutely freezing. Three times we asked for the air... more

Great rate on Travelzoo.com - $139.00 for two doubles. Nick-Dal thought room was small, but perhaps has never stayed in a NYC 85 sf shoebox "boutique" hotel for $350 ... our Palomar room was HUGE! Well appointed, comfortable (except for the pillows; I dislike down, and the foam pillows that were brought up were hard as rocks). Staff was very... more

On busy Market Street, the hotel sits above an Old Navy retail store. The layout is a little odd with the main hotel starting on the 5th floor. The restaurant and bar offer very limited hours, and otherwise are dead space off the elevator. The room was on the small side as expected in San Francisco. But for the price... more

This Hotel is situated at the perfect location right in the heart of downtown San Francisco. You are 2 blocks to Union Square, 1/2 a block to BART, 6 blocks to China Town, 2 blocks to the famous Cable Cars. The hotel is decorated nicely, very clean and the service is quick and efficient. Our check in took about 2... more

The hotel was very nicely decorated but the rooms were very small and didn't have a dresser. We stayed four nights/five days which made having only a closet with a few hangers very impractical. The bathroom door did not close all the way. The bed was very uncomfortable. The staff was pretty friendly, but they didn't have directions to commonly... more

The location is excellent. Had a room overlooking Market St, 8th floor, and it was a little noisy at night, specially ambulances/police in the middle of the night. The rooms are small. Would I stay again in it, maybe. The best thing of this hotel is it's location, the worst, the rooms should be a tad bigger and better window... more

Stayed here for a week in April 2008 and would very highly recommend. Very central location but rooms facing courtyard are very quiet. Excellent facilities and unobtrusive but very friendly service. more
