Great location
Room was really nice, but loud. Even on the 20th floor we could hear the street noise & the very busy trolley horn. No ice machines or buckets which I think is odd. Staff was great, location is great, room very clean.

Nice hotel but . . .
Pros:easy access to transportation
Cons:nothing within the hotel's control.
Location:restaurants, harbor
This hotel is very nice and convenient to downtown. It is right on the bus and trolley line. The decor and layout were very nice. You don't get any perks like free breakfast or free Wi-fi. I believe that the Travelocity site says that there is wi-fi, but it is extra. The only down side is the noise. Because the hotel is a little less expensive than some of the others, there was a younger crowd during my stay. Compounded with this, it was halloween which is apparently a big deal in San Diego. There were (presumably) drunk 20-somethings arguing in the hall and being rather boisterous. Also, downtown San Diego has a very large homeless population. They are not aggressive, but they are EVERYWHERE. The area surrounding the hotel is a very active restaurant and nightclub scene, so there is ample to eat in any direction.

Dear Barton
Thank you for taking the time to share about your recent visit. We appreciate the nice comments about the hotel and our proximity being convenient to the Gaslamp area.
I'm sorry to hear that you experienced noise issues related to the "city happenings" going on around the local area as well as from other hotel guests. We hope you will always feel free to let us know while you are in the hotel and we will do our best to mitigate any issues you may have.
We so appreciate you selecting the Palomar for your accommodations and of course, we want to provide an awesome stay and regret if it was anything less than that.
Sincerely,
JJH

Hotel was not great, loud
Pros:gave us rides in courtesy vehicle, bellboys were awesome and helpful
Cons:Noisy
Hotel experience was not great and almost ruined my vacation. The room was adequate, but very noisy from street activity. And when I say street "activity", I mean drunk people yelling and fighting from the bars. Someone was stabbed outside the hotel on Saturday. When I asked to change rooms due to the noise and the fighting waking up my family, the woman working at the desk told me I should "expect that staying in the city". I have stayed in many cities and not had such a sketchy experience. Pool was out of order, indicating to me that normal maintenance was not done. It takes awhile for a pool to break. They did, however, allow us to use a sister hotel's pool. That was nice. Bellboys were very helpful and need a raise for making up for the other staffs lackluster service.

Great get away
Pros:Free Internet
My experience at the hotel could have been better. Upon checking in, the hotel was not able to find my reservation. Luckily I had all my invoices that I had printed out. After everything was figured out by the staff the only room available was on the same floor were the pool and the night club was located, luckily we were able to still sleep comfortably with out the noise coming threw the walls. The first night we parked valet (we were too tired to try to look for cheaper parking) but the hotel was trying to charge me for two nights. After showing my invoices from another over night parking that we had used, the hotel credited my card. I did enjoy that the hotel was about two blocks walking distance from all the excitement from the local bars and night clubs.
