"Palihotel in Westwood has a lot going for it, but it ultimately feels more like a high-end student accommodation than a true high-end boutique hotel. The biggest challenge is the noise. The walls seem quite thin, and you can clearly hear "activity" from neighboring rooms, which made it difficult to relax or get consistent sleep. You can expect to hear the floor boards squeaking with every step, people speaking and even water running. For a property positioned as a boutique luxury stay, that was a surprising downside unfortunately. Another unexpected letdown was the valet parking. Here again the Valet's were fantastic, but we weren't aware that our car would be left outside in the street overnight and not undercover, leaving it very dirty. That said, there are many things the hotel does extremely well! The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Westwood and an easy walk to UCLA, with plenty of great restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby. The area also felt very safe and pleasant to walk around, even in the evening. Another highlight was the staff, who were truly outstanding. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. Easily some of the best service we’ve experienced in the Beverly Hills area. Overall, Palihotel is great if you value location and service, but travelers expecting a quiet, luxury hotel experience may find the noise levels and room feel a bit closer to upscale student housing than a traditional boutique hotel."

"Hotel was expensive but nice. $50.00 for self parking. Breakfast was good, just pricey. "
