Location was perfect. Transporation right outside the door. However, many attractions like...... Chinatown, The Ferry Building (you have to see that place), Union Square are within walking distance Hotel is in the middle of a major shopping area so a bit busy on the weekends. Also, very near the Tenderloin, an area to avoid especially at night. Front desk & doormen were extremely helpful. Room was clean & loved the robes. Great resturant right down the street....Annabellas. Another place located around the corner...The Jazz Bistro ..should be avoided unless you like poor service, poor food & poor jazz.

The Palomar exemplifies luxury and comfort. I normally don't sleep well while traveling, but the bed and linens at the Palomar were exceptionally comfortable and I slept great while there. The staff has extremely helpful and courteous and the location was great. The Palomar is on the high-end as far as price, but well worth it.

Great location right off Market Street. Staff was friendly and helpful. The work out room was small, but good equipment. The rooms was very nice with a wonderful bed. The chair next to the bed was good for sitting in with laptop, but could've used an ottoman. Free wireless access is a really nice touch. The decor is hip and modern but still very welcoming and comfortable. Went to the restaurant for business breakfast. Kept with the fun decor with zebra strips but again, still a warm feel. Good variety on food selection and it was delicous. I'm a big Kimpton fan with the nice amenities, great decor, but boutique feel. This was no exception.

The location is 5 star for shopping, transportation, museums and upscale dining. We upgraded to a "suite" or living space w/a pullout sofa. The mattress on the sofa was better than that on the king bed. The staff is quite efficient and eager to please. We didn't receive newspapers for 2 days, but once mentioned, it was rectified. The room service menu (all day dining) could use more variety but service again was quick. The hotel surpasses the other big chains nearby and with better rates!

The service alone is worth going! I have never been treated so well!
