My first stay at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia was fantastic. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean and convenient hotel. The hotel’s prime location near popular local attractions makes it an ideal base for exploring the city. Although I would have appreciated more diverse breakfast options beyond the standard American breakfast, it was still enjoyable. However, I found myself getting bored after three consecutive days of the same menu. The ability to text the staff was awesome. They were quick to response and accommodated my needs and or requests right away. I would consider staying here again in the future!

I wasn’t going to leave a review but since you insist, I really was not thrilled with having to wait two hours to check in. The check in time was 3pm, and upon arrival my girlfriend and I were informed that the room was not ready. We were told that there was no estimate on when the room would be ready, but that I would receive a text notifying me when the room was ready. I received no such text. Shortly after 5pm I asked the front desk worker where I could use the restroom, and was only then told that the room was in fact ready. Based on the reviews I read, this is a pretty common experience lately. However I did receive a text making sure I was leaving on time!

Kimpton Palomar Philly is really about location and the people — and the people are great. The staff were genuinely lovely, especially the room service attendant on 12/31. We had a quiet king room (no city view). No fireworks noise, though you do hear street noise. The room was on the larger side of small, but everything felt dated: furnishings, curtains, headboard, phone, fixtures, linens, towels — all very ’90s, including the tub/shower combo. The carpet was dingy and it definitely needs a refresh (ask for slippers). Room service came in a bag instead of on a tray, which made eating for two a little awkward. We had our two small dogs with us, and while the hotel itself is very dog-friendly (which we appreciate — it’s why we usually choose Kimptons), the immediate area really isn’t. It’s busy, loud, and there’s no grass nearby. Rittenhouse Square is a short walk away, but when it’s 12° outside, that’s not exactly a practical solution. Food was average, the postcard station is super cute, and overall it feels like a solid 3-star hotel where you’re paying for the location and the staff more than the room itself.

Best thing about our stay was the location. Easy walk to many great restaurants and bars. Also appreciate the social hour in the lobby with wine and popcorn - please try not to burn the popcorn though! But this hotel has many add on charges including an amenities fee per guest of $28 and parking that is very high (58 to park overnight plus 22.5% parking tax). All in all, might make a different choice next time with all the nickel and diming going on. But if you don’t care about cost that much, this is a very decent place to stay
