Surprisingly absurd hotel

I’ve never stayed in a more absurd hotel. The staff is excellent, but the place is falling apart. The toilet clogged twice, the A/C is useless, and they handed me a dusty fan as a solution. Meanwhile, they’re charging $13 for a bottle of water. Management seriously needs to rethink what they’re selling here—because it’s definitely not comfort.

Horrible place to stay!

Bathrooms with hair from previous guest. The staff decided not to serve breakfast on day of arrival. They said they would have rolls and coffee from 7:00 am to 10 am. The staff n charge showed up at 7:15 both days of my stay with no sense of urgency to get coffee and rolls out! Valet was also late…

I have stayed at several PALIHOTELS and have liked the uniqueness and location..This place is cool on the outside but has some issues.. The room has old carpeting, it smelled, I had to open windows, the no stall shower like other locations.. Got there at 1am one night and hotel was locked up with NO INSTRUCTIONS on how to get in… finally someone answered the call box and buzzed us in.. $52 overnight valet was excessive and SLOW!!! sat am, (9:30am) no valet around, luckily I kept keys to car .. Bon voyage…

Palihouse is a great way to experience Santa Monica. It’s just a couple blocks to Ocean Avenue and the Promenade and a doable walk to the Pier. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel and grounds exude 1920s charm. There is an elevator but if you are truly stair-challenged it may not be the best choice. For everyone else Palihouse Santa Monica offers an enjoyable and memorable experience.
