We loved how conveniently located the Palomar Inn is to restaurants, the ocean and local stores! It was very quiet, which I loved! No one bothered us! The room was big and the bed was comfy! We will stay here again!

6/10 Good

Only about 10 rooms. Very limited parking, one night i had ro park on the street--but it was easy and very secure.
Joseph, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We love staying here because of the location to restaurants and walking. The bed was comfortable but a better coffeemaker would be nice. Also, the pet fee is $35 compared to $20 at most places.

Just a quick leisure trip overnight. This hotel was just so nice. The owners were a sweet couple, friendly and helpful. It is a simple place but you could tell care was taken to keep it clean and in good order. I would stay here again.

Jacob, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We have stayed here multiple times...they are inexpensive and usually have clean rooms.. This time the bed was obviously not changed, which brought some suspicion..but the changed it when asked and the rest of the stay was normal...if you are looking for nice, this is not it but clean and cheap usually.
