I love staying at the Pali hotels. My room was extraordinary, big and very clean. The staff was very friendly when I checked in and helped me get accommodated. You are very close to Union square and lots of shopping nearby. By gray parking across the street or around the block

Palihotel is a great brand of hotels and this location doesn’t disappoint. Iconic Union Square is a block away and Chinatown is on the other side of Stockton tunnel. Our only feedback/wish is that the windows would be insulated for sound. The city is very noisy until the wee hours but the hotel does have earplugs in the room. Overall we enjoyed the stay.

Bring a white noise machine! We had ours cranked as loud as possible so we were able to drown out the music blasting in the building next door/street level. There’s nowhere to pull up and unload luggage out front — you have to park in the garage across the street, walk everything over, and then check in. Staff is really great, property is small and old but really unique + lots of character. Worked for us as a single night stay, probably wouldn’t be comfy for longer than that
