Average Stay
Based on the other reviews and photos, I had high expectations for the Palomar and booked it for our group flying in from Toronto for a meeting. I was a little surprised by how small and dark the hotel was. My room was tiny and very cramped, the King bed barely fit in the space, and it was awkward manoeuvring around the bed to get to the closet, etc. (and I'm a small person). However, some of my colleagues reported having spacious rooms, so perhaps it was just my room. I went to make coffee and realized there was not a coffee maker in the room, which seemed odd as every hotel I've ever stayed in always provided one. I called down to see if there was anywhere I could buy coffee in the hotel, and they said they'd send a coffee maker up (which they did so about 15 minutes later) so problem was solved...but it seemed odd that they wouldn't just have one already in the room? You shouldn't have to ask. I liked the idea of the animal print robes, but when I looked at the ones provided they were really faded and worn looking...and that sort of brought forth the rather unappealing thought of how many others had worn that robe before me...but that's just me. Other than that, our experience was okay. The staff were polite and helpful. The hotel bar was also small and kind of cramped, but a happening place...so that made it good.
