I liked the hotel decor, especially the lobby. There was an issue with Expedia's pre-payment rate. I was charged the full amount at the start of my stay, rather than before I arrived or at the end of my stay. The hotel staff was helpful, but the daily cleaning service didn't clean my room. Also there aren't any phones in the hotel rooms. I'd recommend for a quick trip! There are a lot of options for dinner and exploring SF nearby. I wouldn't recommend the bus stop in front of the hotel, but there's easy access to the BART.

The palihotel is beautifully decorated and feels so special to stay in. I highly recommend it for people who plan on walking during their stay and are looking for something different than any other hotel. I very much appreciated the Dyptique scents in the room as well.

Worst Hotel Experience Ever! Don’t Recommend! When we arrived, the system is broken, and our card to the room cannot open the door. The room is so tiny and the advertisement photo shows there is a table, but the room doesn’t have it. The room is really cold and the AC doesn’t work. And the lightbulb popped out. Although the staff there is friendly they gave us many information, the protest around the area is awful. It was a nightmare. We cannot have our nap during the day. One thing hasn’t solved at this moment is that they gave us the parking tickets, but we didn’t use them and they charge us for two nights parking after we left the hotel. We mentioned that we parked in the parking structure for first night that shouldn’t be charged by the hotel when we checked in, but they still charge for that. Very strange. Now, we want to give them a call to solve the issue, clearly the number cannot even be reached.

I mentioned this to front desk. The shelf over the small sink needs to be moved or cut back as it makes it very hard to use the sink. Other than that a great price for a great location. V clean. Friendly.

Really unique property, love the period design details. Room was nice and comfortable. Windows were relatively thin so a lot of noise from the area can be heard at times. Staff were friendly and quick to support any needs.

Wonderful staff. Unfortunately, unfortunately, our air conditioner was not working when we checked in, we called down to the lobby and a staff member promptly arrived to help us move rooms. The property is very clean and safe. Hopefully a restaurant will open up again, but in the meantime, coffee is supplied every morning free of charge on the second floor. This is an addition to the espresso machine in your room!

The staff was great, particularly Rachel and Lovely. The location and condition were also great. My only issue was the sink: It was tiny, and the shelf above it made it difficult to use. Otherwise, I would recommend this hotel.

Great place, good location. There was some noise nearby, unrelated to this hotel. Striking hotel workers were banging drums nearby, demanding better pay, as they should. Would stay here again.

When we arrived at the property we were met by Lovely, who much like her name was a pleasure to speak to. The room we had booked had an issue with the air and as the temperature inside was 87°F and had not cooled after we left for dinner I went at let Lovely know and she kindly moved us to another room. The new room was significantly smaller, but we were just happy to have cool air and it was away from the front of the building where there was a lot of noise with the protests outside the Grand Hyatt. The elevator was very slow (due to it’s age) which made it quite difficult getting to and from our room as we did have to wait a while with other guests using it too. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
