About the Hotel
Overview
Hotel Palomar San Diego combines the best of two worlds: It’s within walking distance to everything the cultural center Gaslamp Quarter has to offer and it has the signature, thoughtful Kimpton touches like a yoga mat in each guest room and a hosted evening social hour with wine.
A stay here means you are steps from some of San Diego’s most exciting nightlife. The House of Blues music venue is right next door, and 200 restaurants from steakhouses to sushi are all within an eight-minute walk.
Rooms are contemporary and modern with standout touches, including Jerusalem limestone bathrooms with rain-forest showers and Italian Frette linens on the beds.
Libations and light fare are available at the hotel’s rooftop pool deck on weekends, while Curadero, the hotel's restaurant, offers traditional and street food-inspired Mexican dishes in a casual, cantina-style atmosphere.

Attentive, professional and friendly staff at both the hotel and the restaurant. The TravelZoo deal made it great value. If we had to pay full retail we would look elsewhere due to the the large homeless population surrounding the hotel.
Other Comments
The hotel is in the middle of a neighborhood overflowing with homeless people. We would have to think hard about ever returning.

Their prompt response when our in-room phone, TV, and shower hot water did not work.

They are very confused about the Travel Zoo package workings. The check-in desk agent told us the hotel would reduce the food/bev by 20% before they posted to our bill. They did not. When we checked out the full charges were on the bill and already charged. I had to dispute and that check-out agent told me we should have told the restaurant and room service. How would they know if we had that deal or not? The desk reception should be more up to date on how to handle the TZ package details. Also, on two days we were out from 9 AM to 3 PM and when we got back our room was still not cleaned.

Large, clean room with spectacular view of San Diego.
Other Comments
Compared to the wine social provided at the Kimpton hotel in downtown Phoenix, the wine social at the San Diego Palomar was second-rate. The Phoenix social offered more wines and far more food/snacks. Believe it or not, but this is one aspect of the Kimpton hotels that is important to us.

The food at the restaurant was good
The front desk was helpful and friendly
It was in a good location and the street car stop was about 1/2 block away

The only drawback was getting our car from valet after our 11am check out
It took nearly 35 minutes

Fun atomspehere in common areas, free coffee/wine hour. Staff was nice and sent up a dessert/wine for husband';s birthday.
Other Comments
Area immediately outside the front entrance was littered with trash, homeless individuals, dock-less bikes/scooters, and very smelly. The city view we requested and paid for was a very small and narrow corner window with construction views. Bed was not very comfortable.

Some maintenance issues should have been dealt with regarding the draperies in the room. (Minor) but they were ripped and hanging off the rod,And didn’t close completely. Unattractive. Told front desk on the way out
On the positive side the location is in the midst of the gas lamp and walking distance to many places.

The place was beyond lovely. But the hotel was very much relying on the looks and location and decided to forego customer service.
