South Shore Luxury Vacations

I got a bottle of wine on my 3rd day of stay

4th time staying here. Great for business and leisure

Excelling friendly staff , clean property in a great location. Could use a business center so to have a quiet place to sit and get work done

Perfect location for walking to dining options and the pier/beaches.

The Palihotel is a small, three-story hotel in a converted 1920s apartment building. We spent three nights there. As hotels go it is reasonably comfortable and quiet (but see below). Our room was furnished in a faux-Deco, Ikea style with fairly comfortable beds, two not-so-comfortable side chairs, limited storage space and no desk or table, which is an issue if you want to work. I complained about that and they graciously put a small table in my corner room (apparently only an option in a larger room). The bathroom is sparse but efficient and the shower has lots of water pressure and hot water – possibly the best hotel shower I have ever been in. The windows open, which is nice in the evening. The rooms are very clean. The parking is valet and pricey. If you don’t need access to your car there are lots of much cheaper self-park options nearby. The breakfast is minimal: coffee (no real milk or cream), apples and bananas, jars of yogurt and what looked like some packaged store-bought croissants or rolls. The location is near the center of Westwood Village which can be surprisingly dreary and lifeless at night. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Our biggest negative is that the floor/ceiling barrier seems thin. We could hear the people in the room above walking around, dropping things, etc. You get that to some extent in many hotels but it seemed much more pronounced and annoying here. If that’s an issue with you, you should make sure you get a room on the third floor.

Staff was very friendly.
