We stayed at the Pali Hotel for one night while in town for a college tour. The hotel has a charming, historic feel and is in a great, walkable location—close to restaurants and popular sites. We even walked to a Padres game with ease.
The staff was friendly, though check-in was a bit frustrating and required assistance from two different employees to resolve an issue. The building’s original elevators add to the charm, but they’re very small and quite slow.
The only parking option is valet, which was pricey, but the service was quick and efficient when retrieving our car. Unfortunately, both the bed and the fold-out couch were uncomfortable, and we didn’t sleep well.
Overall, a beautiful, character-filled property in a great location, but a few comfort and service hiccups to be aware of.
