I am considering the Hotel Palomar for a small gathering of women over a long weekend in April. If you know the hotel, what is your opinion of it? Thanks.

We will be staying there next May for a wedding, so that doesn't help much now. What about it are you wanting to know?

Just saw that this was for April 2014. The construction should be done above the hotel. We will just miss each other!

Hi, cmcfong, I was there in March. I liked the hotel a lot but I wouldn't say the neighborhood is the best for a woman's gtg. It seems to be a typical convention center area, which is the reason we were there. The sports arenas are within walking distance and the light rail runs in front of the hotel but I wasn't impressed by the restaurants nearby.

Back to the hotel...it's very much like other Kimptons with a fun vibe and friendly staff. There are no drawers in the rooms, however, only a wardrobe for clothes. They may have added them after our stay since the hotel is new. There is a lovely outdoor bar/pool area but it was closed two nights during our stay for private parties. Our room overlooked the pool but we were up a few floors. I think it could be noisy if you were in one of the rooms overlooking the pool but only one or two stories up.

I hope this helps.

Birdie, that is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much. Every review which mentioned the "great location" focused on the sports complexes .
