Beautiful hotel with exceptional staff!

This hotel was so incredibly beautiful. Walking distance to everything, the staff are fantastic, they hosted a free happy hour for guests, and the room was gorgeously decorated with a very comfy bed. I highly recommend staying here!

A great stay!
Kyle, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a great stay with one notable exception: the background music in the garden and public rooms is curated to a narrow demographic and they even get over saturated. Please expand your sensibilities and class up the song list. Thumping “humping” bass is probably great for nighttime club environments but is decidedly “low rent” for the environment you claim to promote. Importantly, your staff agrees but is afraid to tell you. We heard several staff and guests comment negatively on the playlist. Pay attention.

Wonderful experience at Palihouse

What a great experience and stay here at Palihouse. Beautiful and quaint property. Parking in the garage on arrival was easy and accessible. We were welcomed by Nate, who was so warm and helpful. Would stay again!
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the location which is why I stay here. And the older charm of the facility is a plus. Lacking on some details ( no slippers this time ) and definitely needing some maintenance / upkeep in rooms. While pricier than many options some upgrades would make it more worthwhile.
