Outstanding boutique hotel

We liked everything about this hotel except the workout facilities (too small and completely packed early in the morning). Staff was helpful and friendly and recognized us each time we returned. Beds and pillows were outstanding. Room was large and comfortable. No charge for wifi! Fifth Floor restaurant was superb. We definitely plan to return.

A great boutique hotel

I travel 30 weeks a year for business staying in major cities. This is an excellent hotel in the Kimpton chain - the room was spacious, services were timely and convenient. If you need to be in the area (or even if you don't mind cabbing it to other parts of the city) this is a great choice. The neighborhood has many good nearby restaurants and the hotel sits amid many high-end retail stores (Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, etc. - you know the neighborhood is good when the Four Seasons is a block away). Highly recommended for business travelers.

Excellent with one exception

All around top notch hotel, especially in cleanliness, service, and decor. Impressive art throughout the building. However, my standards are high for air quality, and this hotel did not measure up. Faint tobacco smoke odor in my room was enough to trigger a mild, temporary sore throat. Ventilation system may not have been upgraded with the last remodel or the room may still be impregnated with smoke odor from years of pre-smoking-ban exposure.

Suited our needs perfectly.

The Kimpton was exactly what we wanted in a hotel in SF - a good, clean room with the basic services, coffee and newspaper in the morning, etc. There was even a wine reception in the early evening, although the quality of the wine could have been better. Other than that, they took good care of us and we would go back.

Palomar - great location

The Palomar is around the corner from SF-Moma, 20-minute walk to Chinatown or Embarcadero. Clean spacious rooms, good service. Wine hour every day (but no snacks?)

Outstanding hotel

I wasn't sure what to expect, but was very pleasantly surprised. Rooms were very nice and the hotel staff was very friendly. Location is also great. I'll stay there again.
