The check-in experience was fine. The hotel was as expected for an older “boutique” hotel. The experience the morning of departure and for the following 72 hours (still ongoing) has been nothing short of horrible. I began itching while in bed at the Palihouse from 2 am until 6 am when I finally got up and showered - still no relief. The evening after my departure I was diagnosed with a chewing louse (lice) infestation. My doctor has been treating me with multiple insecticides but I’m still in significant discomfort and isolated to a room in my home to prevent spreading it to my family and contaminating my home. I called the Palihouse Hotel the day after my diagnosis on Saturday 09/07 and asked for a manager but was told “he is out but you can call back on Monday”. … this was after sharing the diagnosis. My response was, “How about I give you my number and the manager calls me? I was in room 112 and want to know what you can do to make this right?” - Still no call… I would think that a public health concern at the hotel you are managing would warrant a call, even on a weekend.

Nice but not luxury
Lobby and grounds are beautiful but hotel is a little quirky. No liquor license if you want a drink at the hotel, and minimal staffing. Lots of character throughout - our room had a full kitchen, breakfast nook, walk-in closet and ante room for make-up/dressing.

Ok time
It was a nice room. They need better service in regards to room service (1.5 hr wait for coffee) and coffee bar had very limited hours (need to leave to get water and food).

Property was beautiful, room was a good size and very clean. Decor and overall vibe was nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great. Easy to walk to bars and restaurants or to the boardwalk/beach. It was a warm night without AC. The room had large windows to open to let in a breeze but this offered little to no privacy. Screens were in disrepair and the neighborhood was a bit noisy at night, but overall experience was good. Glad we tried it out but not sure it’s worth the price. We were charged for valet parking and the vehicle was too large for the garage so we ending up paying the parking fee for the valet to leave the vehicle parked on the street near the hotel. Had we known, we would have found a spot on our own and saved the $50.

Old charm & old bed.
This hotel is okay, but for the price I was pretty underwhelmed. You get the charm of an older property, but that comes with downsides like old plumbing, thin walls, noisy stairs and single paned windows. If you like peace and quiet I don't recommend. I also think the hotel could have done more to add luxury. The bed felt old, there were chips in the tub glaze making it uncomfortable to stand in and there were barely any outlets in the bedroom making it hard to charge your phone while sleeping. Staff was kind and helpful. They were understaffed during my stay so I believe my room was ready a little late, but not much. They were very apologetic about it. Overall just screamed bad management who only cares about surface appearances and not the actual experience of their guests. I would not book again.

I love the personability of the Palihouse. The rooms are tasteful and plush, no“cookie cutter” decor, and the lobby is like a giant living/dining room. If you’re looking for a scene this wouldn’t be for you, if you’re looking for a tasteful, cozy home-away-from-home establishment in a great location stay here.
