I was having surgery early in the morning so we came to Santa Monica. I had never heard of Palihouse but knew the location and it turned out to be a hidden gem! An historic apartment building turned hotel with generous sized rooms close to the beach, restaurants and St John’s Hospital.

I’ve never stayed in a more absurd hotel. The staff is excellent, but the place is falling apart. The toilet clogged twice, the A/C is useless, and they handed me a dusty fan as a solution. Meanwhile, they’re charging $13 for a bottle of water. Management seriously needs to rethink what they’re selling here—because it’s definitely not comfort.
