Palihotel San Diego receives praise for its exceptional staff and prime location in the Gaslamp Quarter, making it a convenient base for exploring downtown. Many guests appreciate the 'classy and cute' vibe resulting from beautiful renovations and the building's historic charm. However, reviews frequently mention that rooms are quite small and some lack natural light, which may not suit everyone. The historic manual elevator is a point of interest, though some find it cumbersome with heavy luggage. Noise is a common factor due to the surrounding nightlife, and some guests noted issues with loud air conditioning units. Overall, it is seen as a quaint and stylish option for those who value location and aesthetics over spaciousness.
