Disengaged staff and lacking natural light
I've stayed at several Pali locations, most recently in LA. This property is dark and lacks natural light. Some of that can't be helped. The staff was utterly lacking in customer service or caring for that matter. When I asked for a couple glasses I was told to us our coffee cups. We asked for a couple coffee pods, we were told housekeeping wasn't in and they would send some up, they never arrived. Feels like something the front desk person could have handed out from a drawer and made that easy. Overall just lackluster experience, staff just didn't care and couldn't be bothered.

Staff so helpful and friendly. Good location to getting around the city. There was a strike at another hotel and drums and noise was pretty loud, not any of Palihotel. I would stay here again.

When we arrived at the property we were met by Lovely, who much like her name was a pleasure to speak to. The room we had booked had an issue with the air and as the temperature inside was 87°F and had not cooled after we left for dinner I went at let Lovely know and she kindly moved us to another room. The new room was significantly smaller, but we were just happy to have cool air and it was away from the front of the building where there was a lot of noise with the protests outside the Grand Hyatt. The elevator was very slow (due to it’s age) which made it quite difficult getting to and from our room as we did have to wait a while with other guests using it too. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

We stayed her in July and the room was very nice & clean. The area was prefect and walking distance to shops and the nightlife. My only issue was that the air conditioner in our room wasn't working, so our room was a bit stuffy, and we couldn't switch rooms as they were sold out. Thank you to the hotel management for offering us a discount on the air conditioning issue. I would stay here again as long as the air is working.

ok
The location of the hotel is fine. Close to everything. However, we doubt whether we are confusing "old and worn" with "vintage". We think the hotel appeared quite worn. The staff on site was incredibly nice and helpful. I give them 5 stars because they do it really well! The rooms were nice. Really good beds. The shower handle was loose and fell off. One of our sheets was torn in two places. It seems very strange that we did not notice or respond to this. Secondly, we booked a hotel for 3 adults, but we only had towels for 2. We got extra without any problems, but it's just strange that it wasn't included from the start.

This property has no air conditioning. They lied and said they would move me to a room with AC to avoid me leaving the hotel, however both rooms were 89 degrees with broken AC and no windows. Bar and restaurant including room service are not open yet, which is fine for a new property, but no AC and no fresh air in small rooms is unacceptable. From a safety perspective I would never stay here again because the elevator doesn’t require a key card and the neighborhood is sketchy and the front desk and hotel in general is understaffed.
