The Palihotel has a bit of a Wes Anderson vibe though the color palette doesn’t quite fit. There is a great attention to detail in the decoration. The hotel is old but that adds to its charm. My son loved the candy jar in the lobby, the gated elevated and the view from the roof.

The hotel was quaint and cute. Nice to have restaurants onsite. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only thing was the smallness of the room and shower and no drawers to store things. Elevator was vintage so slow. Hotel turned out to be convenient to wedding facilities.

I loved the warm welcome of the staff and the beauty of the hotel. The rooftop is a huge bonus. The restaurant is lovely. I wish my windows were cleaner and the second elevator had been working. I will definitely be back. Please note this is in a very busy area so there is street noise until the wee hours at least on the weekend when i was there. I loved it and expected it. If you want character in a hotel close to everything I highly recommend it.
