The Palomar Inn

This has been the absolute worst experience in my entire life, considering I traveled extensively in Europe for 20 years it really takes the mick. I booked via booking.com and when arrived to check in, there was a lady who couldn't speak English at all. She kept showing me her mobile phone which didn't have a speaker on repeating "talk him". I couldn't hear the person and didn't know what is happening until the man on the phone shouted "get the f..k out of here". The lady couldn't communicate at all and I couldn't understand what was I to talk about. I was not comfortable to be using this lady's phone, potentially sharing my details with some stranger on the phone who could be anyone, in these days of scams everywhere I do try to be careful. I didn't know why I was asked to "talk him" when I was showing her my ID. She never said it was the manager on the phone. I was completely thrown off, stunned and walked away to ask my husband for help to whom this manager complained about me giving hard times to his wife. When we finally got in, the furniture and windows were all broken and in disrepairs, the room was in a terrible state. Window in the bathroom completely broken. There is no excuse for this whatsoever. It was very noisy, lot of banging all through the night and a lot of noise from the road. The website states checking out time at 11:00 am, and we left the room at 10 am to just get coffees in a cafe next door. We were back at 10:10 to drink our coffees in the room and use the bathroom and then leave. They unscrupulously locked us out of the room even though we have not checked out yet. I was not willing to approach the aggressive owner who used swear words towards me, so we just left. We got treated like criminals because we believed we deserved minimal manners and a standard. I do accept that European standards are not applicable to US, but still this has been a hell of a shock. I have stayed in over 400 hotels all over Europe, Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Czech, UK, Ireland... I have never came across anything even close to such manners and behaviour. Anyone from Europe, please do avoid this place.

We stayed one night (motorcycle trip with my partner). The room is small but the bed was comfortable. Presence of a fridge. Small negative point, the noise because near the road and the walls are not well soundproofed (expect your neighbor clearly) but for $115 a night in this area with the necessary… in short, bring your caps :) good coffee the business at side with affordable breakfast (The steaming Bean).

this was the worst experience ever. we booked the family room with 2 sinks and a separate bedroom for 2 nights. i had stayed there in december 2022 so i knew what to expect. upon arrival they gave us this tiny moldy room with one sink. there was no where to hang the hangers they gave us, the room was filthy - something all over the walls in the bathroom, several large bugs (i didnt get close enough to look) the door jam for the second room was leaking water all night and the wood was falling apart and the heat did not work. we requested a refund for the second night as we could not stay there again in those conditions and the owner agreed however once we checked out they refused to refund us the taxes and property cleaning fee for the second night which was almost half the cost of the room. claiming they would have moved us for the second day however when they attempted to move us they opened the door on a room that was already occupied!! horrible experience all around.
