Nice but not luxury
Lobby and grounds are beautiful but hotel is a little quirky. No liquor license if you want a drink at the hotel, and minimal staffing. Lots of character throughout - our room had a full kitchen, breakfast nook, walk-in closet and ante room for make-up/dressing.

Ok time
It was a nice room. They need better service in regards to room service (1.5 hr wait for coffee) and coffee bar had very limited hours (need to leave to get water and food).

Property was beautiful, room was a good size and very clean. Decor and overall vibe was nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great. Easy to walk to bars and restaurants or to the boardwalk/beach. It was a warm night without AC. The room had large windows to open to let in a breeze but this offered little to no privacy. Screens were in disrepair and the neighborhood was a bit noisy at night, but overall experience was good. Glad we tried it out but not sure it’s worth the price. We were charged for valet parking and the vehicle was too large for the garage so we ending up paying the parking fee for the valet to leave the vehicle parked on the street near the hotel. Had we known, we would have found a spot on our own and saved the $50.

Old charm & old bed.
This hotel is okay, but for the price I was pretty underwhelmed. You get the charm of an older property, but that comes with downsides like old plumbing, thin walls, noisy stairs and single paned windows. If you like peace and quiet I don't recommend. I also think the hotel could have done more to add luxury. The bed felt old, there were chips in the tub glaze making it uncomfortable to stand in and there were barely any outlets in the bedroom making it hard to charge your phone while sleeping. Staff was kind and helpful. They were understaffed during my stay so I believe my room was ready a little late, but not much. They were very apologetic about it. Overall just screamed bad management who only cares about surface appearances and not the actual experience of their guests. I would not book again.

I love the personability of the Palihouse. The rooms are tasteful and plush, no“cookie cutter” decor, and the lobby is like a giant living/dining room. If you’re looking for a scene this wouldn’t be for you, if you’re looking for a tasteful, cozy home-away-from-home establishment in a great location stay here.

One of the most unique and special hotels we have ever experienced! The architecture and design of this hotel is stunning and so wonderfully curated, unlike anywhere we’ve ever stayed before. Our room was beautiful and felt very private. Upon checking in, the staff was immediately so kind and welcoming, and we had nothing but positive experiences with them throughout our stay. Cannot recommend Palihouse enough — we never wanted to leave!
