Been staying at Palomar for years. Always been the best place to stay in center city Philadelphia. I am starting to see wear in the rooms so I hope they get a handle on this ASAP so the quality of the hotel does not go down.

First Time Visit

It was my first staying here but I've been to Philadelphia before. I came on President's Day weekend. The staff is very friendly and they are eager to help you. I also like the look and vibe of the hotel. My room was ok. It wasn't uncomfortable. I like the location. It is in the middle of everything you would want to walk to in Philly. For my next visit, would I choose this hotel again? 70% yes and 30% no.

Winter Overnight

From the moment we stepped out of our car and spoke with the valet attendant, our stay was lovely. Small things like having the door opened for you in friendly courtesy made us feel welcome. The woman who checked as in at the front desk was helpful & very kind and made sure we took advantage of everything during our short stay. The atmosphere was beautiful, every area clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was extremely clean and smelled like home. I loved how the shower used large shampoo,conditioner, and body washes instead if small disposable bottles, and all drinking glasses that were left were actual glass. It was a simple touch that was noticed. Breakfast was delicious! Thank you for being a safe, comfortable place to stay!

Upon arriving and checking in, I was told I couldn’t you the credit card I had in hand. They made me use a debit card or else I wouldn’t be able to check in. When arriving in my room, the toilet was not clean and the rub had brown stains that I cleaned off. When I went to use the blow dryer. The back of it caught onto my hair and a chunk of my hair ripped off! Also, when leaving my room, before 2pm which was my VIP check out, I noticed I forgot my charger and tried getting back in but they had deactivated my room key! I had to go all the way downstairs to show my ID again and her a new card. When I told front desk she was very empathetic and went to speak to her manager. The manager did not come out! The manager told her to tell me that they were NOTHING they can do and if I wanted to fill out an incident report I can. I don’t believe I’ll be staying here again!
