Palihouse Santa Monica

The staff here are amazing. The building is iconic but it seriously needs investment. Best to come in the summer and ask for a sunny room looking over the front garden. Weekends are for party groups so if you are a party person, this will suit you very well. If you want peace, come midweek. When we were there (our second 10 day stay of the year) it was unusually cold and the rooms are not built for that. Again, staff could not have been nicer in bringing heaters and they mended a French window that was blown open y the wind in the night within 10 mins. But the elevator was broken, the rooms in the back of the hotel are really very dark (lighting could fix some of this) and the kitchen was out of service one day (not that we needed it). Message to the owners, support your great team by investing in this beautiful building! If I see there have been renovations, I’ll be back.

A quiet location in a neighborhood, the property has beautiful mature front landscaping and relaxing back patio, complimented by its eclectic interior. We were very glad to see that this architectural gem was saved and today is enjoyed by a new customers. Comfy mattress and good "all day" menu on 1st floor.

Everything was great with the room and the whole building is adorable, but the staff make this place. Each individual I had the pleasure of interacting with was superb. The location is anlso perfect for taking the dog for a morning walk to a great view of the ocean. Our next trip to Santa Monica will include Palihouse.

We just traveling to Santa Monica to visit family and my son suggested the Palihouse. The staff was very friendly especially Jacklyn who doubled as front desk and waitress, and Gavin. They were responsive to all our needs. Our room was next to the lobby. my wife wanted to be on first floor. In the morning I used the cozy lobby to catch up on emails. Wireless worked well. Coffee is complentary and will make your hairstand up.!The breakfast burrito was excellent and enough for 2 people. They should add oatmeal to the menu. The grounds are very nice. Bed was comfortable. I think I would like a bit larger room. The bathroom was old style but everything worked. located in a nice neighborhood within walking distance of stores. Fast Uber response. Price lower compared to more modern hotels. We would return

Nice hotel in Santa Monica. Old hotel vibes, huge room. The elevator is one of the oldest we have seen, still functional. The bed mattress and pillows need to be replaced. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Walkable to restaurants, farmer’s market and Santa Monica pier.
