“Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter certainly makes a memorable impression with its vintage charm and prime location. I think its rooftop bar alone is worth the stay, combined with the distinct nautical style and the surprisingly good on-site dining. While valet parking feels like the only workable option, the hotel's central spot puts the Gaslamp Quarter within easy reach.”
