I had a lovely stay at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar, enjoying the fantastic views from my corner room and the attentive service from the staff. While the location was perfect for exploration, I did face a couple of hiccups during my stay, including some underwhelming room service experiences. Overall, it was a comfortable and stylish stay, but there were areas that could use improvement. 🌇✨

I had a great stay at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar in Philadelphia. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, and my room was modern and spacious, though I did have a slight issue with the elevators being slow. The location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions, but I was bummed that there wasn't a microwave available in the lobby. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel for its cozy atmosphere and excellent service.

While the hotel offered several great amenities, it was a hassle that there was no microwave available for guest use in the lobby. I also noticed that only two of the four elevators were functioning, which caused quite a bit of wait time.

My stay at Kimpton Hotel Palomar was enjoyable overall, highlighted by its fantastic location that made exploring Philadelphia easy. The room was quite cozy and well-appointed, but I did face a few service hiccups during my visit. The attentive housekeeping team kept things spotless, and I appreciated thoughtful touches like the plush bathrobes. However, some staffing issues during busy hours detracted from the experience. Overall, it's a solid choice, but there's room for improvement in service consistency. 😊

I had a fantastic stay at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar in Philadelphia. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the city and visit local attractions. The daily wine social was a highlight, allowing me to unwind and meet other guests. However, I did experience a bit of a musty smell in the hallways, and the hot water in my room was only warm, which was a bit disappointing.
