After staying at other well ran and located Pali’s this one was a bit shocking. The area it is in isn’t very safe after dark and sketchy at best during the day. ( pic attached of the area directly next to the hotel front door). I arrived to my room and within 5 mins the toilet backed up and it took them about 2 hours to handle the issue with little to no communication of what was happening and ETA on work etc. The hallway area directly next to my room (514) is a temp linen closet with workers constantly going in and out making noise. ( pic attached). The last straw for me though was when I ordered a lovely glass of red wine at the 2nd floor resto to take to my room and the bartender poured it in to a white paper cup saying they can’t let glasses leave the resto. I travel for work all the time and have never had that happen before. Insane. This hotel was a major bummer in all areas and has made me reconsider the Pali brand as a whole. I would avoid this property in S.F at all costs!

Our room was smaller than the pictures showed. Our tv didn’t work we let front desk know and no one came up to even take a look at. It was our anniversary and I’m 8 months pregnant, it was a little inconvenient.

I just stayed for three days and had such a great time not only is the entire atmosphere so beautiful and the bed so incredibly comfy but the staff there is amazing. They were all so friendly and accommodating I loved them! Bar area is also SO pretty. The location is great also! Plenty of parking garages around and great walking distance for shopping and dining.

Nice Stay (For the most part)

We love the location and the staff is very friendly. I will have to say though, I am not sure if the waste management trash service is on Saturday mornings for this location. It was very noisy early Saturday morning with the sounds of bottles being broken in the alley closest to our room.

Once charming now just sad!

I am a frequent booker on behalf of a corporate team. This little hotel chain used to be charming and I have used them in Culver City, Hollywood and San Francisco because we have an office nearby. the vibe is "historic"with very small rooms, but it was generally liked by our team. The Hotel used to commandeer high rates which is why I had to seek alternatives and replaced this SF property as our mainstay because the city simply had better value propositions. When they recently dropped the rates significantly I gave it another try with 3 bookings and I have had nothing but complaints from our travelers. - Non functioning AC on multiple occasions with no option to change rooms because the "entire floor had no AC", - Windows painted shut, -water spots from leaks everywhere, -electric outlets dangerously violating safety codes. When problems are brought to the attention of the Front Desk it is at best met with a shoulder shrug, if not with an almost mouthy attitude and the most compensation a traveler can expect is to have the "destination fee" refunded. Pretty daring to ask for one to begin with when not even the basic expectations can be met. Sorry to see this once cute hotel fall into disrepair like this. We will be taking our business elsewhere.

The hotel doesn’t room service and didn’t do well with house keeping requests. I had to go down multiple times to request towels and eventually had to go up with the towels myself.

Trash pickup at 10pm and 5:30am was incredibly loud and not short in duration. Walls of the hotel were so thin that I heard every conversation and TV show as if it were in my room. Brutal

Pretty small room but quality design and finishings. We really liked the local bar too, great cocktail. We had a room at the back which was so quiet, between that and the comfortable bed, we slept great.
