The hotel was very clean, the staff extremely helpful, and the hotel is very convenient to meals and shopping. Reasonable price. It’s kind of dark and dingy—it’s a very old building and could use some lighter color interior paint. The bathroom was very modern, although the shower a bit weak, and the sink tiny. You can tell they really have done the best they can with an old building, and some off-white paint would go a long way to brightening it up.

Apparently, this hotel thought it was ethically excusable to charge double their average rate per night (at two days, this quickly eclipsed the asking cost of 5 star hotels) because it happened to fall on Valentine's Day. The problem is it had no working toilet in that time. Worse still, we weren't even trying to celebrate Valentines Day. Further, this hotel had no basic amenities that you'd see with far cheaper hotels, e.g. smart tv, usb ports for modern devices, etc. To compound these issues, within 5 minutes of arriving, someone from a conjoined room knocked on our door to complain he could hear our entire conversation, which wasnt loud. This tracks with the setting, as we were routinely woken up by clamorous racket of every stripe for the duration of our stay, and later heard similar from another guest, who said "paper thin walls" were apparently "a thing here." This would have been semi-excusable with a refund of any appreciable amount, but the desk clerk said he wasnt authorized to refund more than $50, and offered his condolences. This hotel is apparently guilty of leaning hard on its historic landmark status for upselling during holidays, when it would do better to issue renovations to keep them out of flophouse designation. The one redeeming feature was their midnight hotel clerk, who was able to check us in at a very late hour. But given the cost, and general experience, that hardly justifies a starry review. Unless you're here for the ghosts, steer clear.

The Pali was great value for money for our short trip in San Francisco. The hotel was walkable to lots of places - just a 25 or so minute walk down to the Ferry Building and walking distance to areas like North Beach. Just a few minutes from Union Square and lots of shopping. The room was small but comfortable and nicely designed. Not much of a view, but we weren't expecting one. The decor throughout is chic but cosy and a mix of old school glam and modern touches. The bar upstairs was very nice with friendly staff and good selection of drinks and food. We were really impressed by how good value the place was for being in central SF! We would definitely recommend it to others looking for an affordable option in the city.
