Palihotel Melrose

Great!

A friend and I just completed a 3 night, 4 day stay at the Palihotel Melrose. I loved the location as a lot of the places I set out to visit were in walking distance which was perfect to recharge in between events. Check in was easy and the concierge has an option to hold your bags before check in if needed. The hotel is fairly small which is the norm for a boutique hotel but I was impressed that the noise level was pretty tame, even with our window staying open most nights. We chose the smaller version of the King size bed rooms, the other option provided a larger square footage and a balcony that we didn't deem necessary for out stay. This hotel ONLY has king size beds, no doubles - keep that in mind. It didn't impact our stay, the bed was comfy and the room was clean but the option for doubles would have been nice too. I wished that there was a closet for storage. Also, the TV has a feature to cast from your phone but it doesn't actually work. If I would have known that I would have brought my laptop or Firestick. We dined at the hotel restaurant once for breakfast and it was great and the prices weren't bad. We did have to request room service and one night our keys didn't work but they were quickly replaced. Overall my stay was 7/10.

Palihotel was a cute boutique with charm for days. However, it missed basic amenities like a place inside the hotel to buy water, toothbrush, tampons. I had to walk down to the 7-11 at night, which was 1/2 a mile away. They do include 2 water bottles and snacks in the room but at a high cost like most hotels.

Nice property with charming front desk staff. Restaurant has great breakfast options and tasty food. Bathrooms are retro style and have excellent water pressure. Air conditioning was uneven - no room control. One day it was not working well, but the staff resolved the issue quickly. If you’re expecting a well designed hotel in a pretty perfect location, you’ll be happy here!

THIS PLACE IS A MOTEL ON MELROSE, at best. Standing water in the tub. Loud fans in the bathroom. You have to ask (against their will) to have them manually turn on the AC in the rooms. And the post-stay support is atrocious. Never again and never will recommend this place to anyone

Staff was very pleasant and accommodating and friendly. The room was fine but overall noise level including music was loud even at night and early in the morning.

Room was nice but the AC did not work and our room was hot especially during the day.
