    I stayed here for the first time last weekend. It's incredibly charming and cozy, small, humble, affordable and old. All the of my favorite adjectives for quaint hotels. The Palomar Inn is right on Front Street in Old Town, Temecula, my new favorite place. I over heard the manager saying something to a lookie-loo about it being haunted. I experienced nothing out of the ordinary. Except the ghost that pushed the remote into the sink but, other than that, it was pleasant and calm. Right in the heart of Old Town you just can't go wrong with this little place. It's got a tiny sink in the room, a TV a big bed and a twin bed. The bathroom is at the end of the hall and shared by four other rooms, I think. Very hostel/bed-n-breakfast like. I would totally recommend it. If you're into some lame things like a Hilton, then you should probably stay at a Hilton. If you like unique charm, Palomar Hotel is your place.

    corner of Front and 5th. the upstairs corner room is Room 1, where the people-watching is stellar.

    we spent the weekend here and we are in love. we love quirky, old hotels and the Palomar Inn brings you back in time. it's evident that they are trying to preserve the original charm. parking is a bit of a bear, but we managed to find street parking close by. the greatest thing is the location. you're in the heart of old town front street. we walked the town both days and really enjoyed the shops and restaurants including Viva Vino, the tapas place behind the hotel on 5th run by the same owners. the hotel itself was cold on this rainy february weekend, but we had a space heater in our room which made it nice and cozy. Andrea, the inn keeper, is the sweetest! she is very personable and made us feel like we were a guest in her own home. we will definitely be coming back to visit! here's a few tips: since this hotel is very ma-and-pop, when calling to book your room, call after noon. the owners are usually up late every night closing their restaurant. also, the bar scene on front street is pretty wild on the weekends, if you're looking for a quiet getaway stay during the week. but this weekend wasn't bad for us at all, and we had to be up early. don't freak out about the shared bathrooms. they are very clean and spacious. you definitely take a step back in time in this old western gem. we can't wait to go back!

    Two thumbs down from the Bachelorettes!

There are great snacks available including charcuterie boards and smores kits. There is also a great selection of wine in the rooms from local wineries. We enjoyed our snacks and beverages on our beautiful private outdoor patio each morning and evening overlooking the vineyards. The fire table and lights were nice touches. We spent some time at the pool too. The bed was very comfortable and room and bathroom were very clean and spacious. No detail was overlooked in designing / decorating the spaces.

During the booking process the date on my reservation was accidentally changed. I immediately tried calling the hotel to correct the date, but no one answered. After about 20 minutes I contacted Hilton corporate for help and explained that I still wanted to stay at the property and was only requesting that the reservation be moved forward by one day. I was not asking for a refund--just a simple date change. Corporate told me the property had to approve the request. When they contacted the hotel, the clerk refused to make the change and said there was nothing they could do. I then called the property directly and spoke with an employee named Ron. The customer service during this call was some of the worst I have experienced. I was repeatedly interrupted, placed on hold for about 10 minutes, and spoken to with a very dismissive and confrontational tone. When I tried to explain the situation, Ron responded with "okay, and?" and told me the issue was not his problem and that corporate should have explained it to me. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told the General Manager (Lucero Torres) would not be available until Monday and that there was nothing that could be done. What made this even more frustrating is that at no point did anyone explain whether the hotel was actually fully booked. When I checked availability myself afterward, the Hampton Inn website showed a room available and Hilton's website showed multiple rooms available for that same date at the same location. Despite this, no solution or alternative was offered. I was simply asking to move my reservation by one day and was even willing to transfer to another Hilton property nearby if necessary, but that request was also denied. The level of attitude, lack of professionalism, and unwillingness to assist with such a simple request was extremely disappointing. I'm honestly relieved I will not be staying at this location, but the experience definitely left a negative impression.

What looks like the front entrance along Jefferson is not. It's actually in the back. I parked at the other hotel's parking lot then walked over to check in. That was relatively smooth. I was given a parking pass to display on my dashboard. It's $12 a night for underground parking with elevator access straight to your hotel room floor. Overflow parking is outside in the lot shared with the other hotel. I got to my room and it was just okay. You can't go below 68 degrees. For the hotel-goers in us that like Arctic temperatures to sleep, that may be a problem. I left it on "Auto" at 68 and somehow it bumped up to a humid 78 degrees inside. And a faint smell of urine towards the A/C unit. Now the part where I was just grossed out. The bathroom. There was mold along the bottom of a section of a wall towards the baseboard. It was so bad that I guess maintenance ripped out the portion and it's just black mold. See the photo in my review. The metal trashcan in the bathroom was disgusting. I know Hilton is going the green route, but add a plastic liner or something. Rust and garbage residue is just not visibly appealing. Again, see the photo in my review. The showerhead? It had dried soap scum. Luckily I brought Lysol wipes with me to wipe that down. Made me wonder about the water. The shower area itself? There were long strands of hair everywhere. Some were even stuck to the floor of the shower itself and I just let it be. Recall that I mentioned Hilton going the green route. They only service your room and bathroom every other day of your stay. So if you're in for a weekend stay, they'll just clean it when you check out essentially. I understand it's expensive to staff, but I'm sure the every other day schedule leaves gaps in cleanliness for future guests as indicated by my review. I do not recommend. Front desk employee that checked me in was the only positive thing. For the room and stay itself, I would book elsewhere.

Receiving my final bill with the parking charge still included after such an awful experience was really the final straw. Overall, the hospitality and customer service are severely lacking at this hotel.

Like an Airbnb, bring your own amenities; other than soap and towels, nothing else was provided in the bathroom. There is a pool and hot tub but I never even saw either as they were on the back side of the complex and we pretty much just wanted to chill in the room. We planned a stay here just to relax and rediscover what a nap is. The huge downside for us was that the walls here are paper thin. The noise from the room next to us kept us from being able to relax or sleep and even woke us up the following morning. Conversations, the television, and the lovely sounds of snoring could be plainly heard by us. The most irritating noises from next door were the sounds of a babbling toddler who enjoyed running around the room; we were mistaken to think this is an adult-only type of villa.

However, I am not a fine cook or dreamer so I did zero cooking. And the breakfast delivered to our room each morning was delicious and way better than anything I could have cooked. Still, I appreciated having a full size fridge, dishes/glasses, dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. The suite also had two TVs (one in the living room and one in the bedroom) and a variety of streaming options if you wanted to stay in and watch shows/movies. We did not do too much of that because there are so many great wineries nearby (too little time) and those wineries not only have tasting bars but also restaurants! So we were on the go a lot, and I missed out on sitting on the patio on the property and gazing at the twinkling stars and visiting the cute chickens on the property. The only thing that needs improving is a fix to the sliding closet door (off the track and made it unusable). One day I hope to return to this lovely property and participate in star gazing and chicken meet and greets! P.S.

When we returned in the evenings, we turned on the fireplace in the room and just relaxed. It was a relaxing stay. Only one small suggestion would be to add blackout curtains. The sun beamed through the sides and top of the drapes, making it hard to sleep in. Overall, we would definitely return.
