I had a terrible groundfloor room, basically sitting on Melrose which has plenty of traffic day and night. Extremely noisy. Bring sound blocking headphones.

There were a few tiny dark black insects inside the bed. I don’t know what they were but don’t believe those were bed bugs.

The ceiling fan was unusable since there was no remote control for it. There is no in-room control for the AC. If you need it up or down, you need to ask in reception. Vents flow right on top of the bed. I asked to be turned down a bit, and it was turned so high, it didn't go off in hours. Very stuffy inside. Got dressed snd went to reception again to ask to be turned lower, and it never went on. Finally one more tome at midnight, the night receptionist adjust it well and it worked. Very rough night.

Restaurant is OK. Only opens until 3pm and only of it isn’t too slow, in which case, you arrive to find it closed already.

The room was nicely decorated, and had good amenities, such as a coffee maker, a robe, lotion. Too bad that the old building doesn’t allow for proper central a/c with in unit controls, nor that a room facing Melrose will keep you up for most of the night.

Staff was pleasant.

Very good experience, but the rooms have a central management system, and therefore you could not control the temperature in the room. Overall, very good location and amenities, but very cold rooms

I was a repeat guest, traveling with my sister. We asked for an upper floor room but was given the room on the first level first room from the entrance facing Melrose which was super noisy and did not feel safe on this busy street. The person at the reception desk did not seem to have concern and he said sorry we assigned these rooms as available, which I interpreted it as “ you booked on a 3rd party app so you are stuck with whatever we give you.” Also the fan was not working and it was 80+ degrees. Our first experience was what brought us back but not inclined to return.

We arrived at check-in time and were told our room wasn't ready. More than an hour later, it still wasn't ready, causing us to be quite late to plans we'd come to town for.
While delays can happen, customer service should not. After waiting well over an hour, we asked for an update and were told, \"I just got here. I don't know what to tell you, it's just not ready. I guess they were busy today.\"
That response summed up the experience perfectly. No apology, no ownership, no effort to make things right. Just a shrug.
If your room isn't going to be ready on time, that's frustrating. If the staff treats that frustration as if it's your problem, that's a much bigger issue.

My window was an interior window, where they prep for a breakfast groups just outside very early in the morning, while having loud conversations.

They only clean your room if you asked them to the day before, which they did not tell me anything about when I booked, nor checked in to the hotel.

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

The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. But what really stood out was how genuinely friendly and welcoming the staff were. I'd definitely love to come back when I visit Los Angeles again.

Honestly was expecting more...a hip trendy boutique. It isn't. Felt a bit like a boarding house. Room right on street.though the windows are pretty sound proof. steps from front door and desk. No ability to control air (you have to ask the front desk) . You had 2 options: cold or off. No place to put luggage. No closet. No trash can in room. Neighborhood was trashy. Would not recommend. Perhaps their other hotels are better

The staff at this spot was so kind and helpful! I had a bunch of packages delivered before I arrived and they were so accommodating. They helped me carry the packages to my room and then to my car. The wait staff at the Daisy restaurant were also very kind. I really enjoyed this spot, it's a quaint hotel in a nice location. My only pitfall about the hotel is the central AC. You have to let the front desk know if you want it to be turned up/down. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay and appreciated the help of everyone!

I booked a deluxe room and upon checking in, they checked me into a regular king room. I had to go back to the front desk to have them look at my reservation to see they put me in the wrong room. Upon entering the new room, the ac was not properly working and I had to ask to have the temp controlled. I went to take a shower and saw that it did not properly drain. I had to take a shower in bath water as it was that bad. They sent an engineer while I was out who also used the bathroom and left the toilet seat up. Upon my return and taking another shower, the situation did not improve at all. The room felt dirty and trying to shower in bath water did not improve that feeling. The walls are also extremely thin so you hear everything going on in the hotel. Would not recommend staying here. When voicing these concerns to the manager, it took them two weeks to get back to me to offer a discount on a future stay. Needless to say, I will not be returning.

They have a nice restaurant adjacent/connected. Very decent. Although can't charge your meal to the hotel room. Super casual and effective for what they intend to deliver.

The hotel is ON BRAND for the Pali family. I've stayed at other properties and you can tell that the leaders of the organization have a specific formula. Highly value-oriented. Crafty. They are adept at making decisions on design at the room level. This shows up like functional design elements in the bathroom, for instance, that may offend true aesthetic-oriented people. I like it.

The room was uncomfortably hot. So much so that we will not stay here again. According to the front desk staff, the HVAC unit is in the hallway and you cannot control the room temp in the room, which gets very hot after sun hitting the window all day. We couldn't sleep and nothing could be done about it. It was like sleeping in a sauna.
