What guests think

At Kimpton Hotel Palomar Los Angeles Beverly Hills by IHG, guests frequently praise the friendly staff, walkable Westwood/UCLA location, and thoughtful perks like morning coffee, evening wine, pet-friendly policies, EV chargers, a heated pool, and a fun game room.

Several reviews cite extra fees and deposits, plus expensive, congested parking with a tight, low-clearance garage. Rooms draw mixed feedback, with dated wear, noise from doors or Wilshire, loud or ineffective AC, small double beds and flat pillows, and occasional maintenance issues like sliding bathroom doors. On-site dining gets many compliments yet is expensive at times, and a few guests reported slow or error-prone service. Expect a convenient UCLA base with solid amenities and notable add-on costs.

Check-in staff was great. Self parking was OK. No elevator access without a key from garage so I suppose you have to check-in before parking or haul your bags down the stairs. Thankfully we packed light. They do offer multiple EV chargers though which was nice to see.

I appreciated the complimentary uber service (1 free trip) and the wine and coffee service. The room was quiet and the overall property was well-maintained. There were only pillows per bed though and those pillows were incredibly flat. While I appreciated a text from the property inquiring into how things were going, I don’t think I received the foam pillows I requested. Also I would have liked the coffee and tea service to have remained beyond 10 AM. More significantly, the billing process was not very transparent. After booking the room through a third party app, the additional amount that I had to pay at the hotel was more than I anticipated and the numerous extra fees and random charges were very confusing to track. I got the feeling I was being “nickel and dimed.” Ultimately I wasn’t confident I got the best value for my money at this property.

Hotel was clean and modern. Staff was friendly and professional. We loved the location. Bathroom door was a barn type and was off the track. Pillows were a joke. They can’t be using pillows like that in a nice Parking was a challenge with a SUV The first two floors are for Valet Then almost a whole floor for Charging stations that were empty The main issue, and I understand they can’t do anything about this, is the parking garage gets lower and lower for every floor. The open spaces were on the top floor which had a clearance of 5’10 which precluded my car from entering.

This was a great hotel to stay. Pros- I asked about the temp of the pool as it was cold. The next evening it was much warmer- they listened and acted upon a request! The woman staffing the nightly drink hour was friendly and funny! We had a 15 dollar credit for self parking or lobby snacks each day. It was convenient and right off of the 405- nice! Beds were super comfy with nice sheets. Housekeeping was awesome and detailed. We were able to choose the same parking space each day (plenty of spaces available), room was super clean, the game room was super fun, many local dining options, super close to UCLA, safe and walkable area, and fridge in room. Cons- Others on Expedia complained of the shape of the rooms. It didn’t bother us, but fancier clientele may have a more critical opinion of the rooms- some peeling wallpaper, chipped bedside table, and scuff marks on the baseboards. Down comfortable had little down left in it. Pillows could be replaced- a bit flat. They left the housekeeping carts in the hallways when not in use- may be a hazard if an evacuation is needed in an emergency. I called and mentioned it to front staff one night- they moved them, but they were back the subsequent nights (I didn’t call, again) We would stay here, again. Thank you for a nice place to stay! Check out the Cat Cafe and Lounge close by! It was a great place to support a local rescue and relax with some cats and kittens.

I’ve always enjoyed Kimpton hotels, but this one was worn out and not kept to their normal standards. The hallway had spilled granola on the ground the entire time of our stay, trash was left by a guest out there door and never picked up, rooms were small, an employee knocked on our door early in the morning because he thought we called the front desk. Just low standards. Not great. Won’t return.

The hotel is located a close drive to many Los Angeles area museums and walking distance to the Hammer museum and restaurants in Westwood and Persian Square. The hotel interior is stylish but with signs of wear and tear if you look closely. Things like free coffee in the lobby would be nice especially given a $51 "resort fee."

Okay stay. Hip feel to the hotel, but subpar for the money. They overcharge guests (eg, ridiculous “resort fee”, no free water in rooms). The rooms are dated and in poor condition (our door stuck, our AC was not effective and the room was too hot). The promised “Beverly Hills” view was just a view of busy Wilshire Avenue. Not a good value.

When we got there didn’t feel welcomed at all by him I didn’t catch his name but he was there in the afternoon, the worst part is that he “couldn’t “ help us but when other guest got there he helped them!

I booked our stay a month in advance and when I checked in they asked me if I booked the night before. I said no, and they said well they didn’t have a room available for the 3 of us but we could have a king bed with a cot. I brought my friend on this trip and assured her this hotel was very nice. It was so embarrassing to have my guest have to sleep on a cot in an extremely cramped room that was no where near big enough for 3 people. They refused to help us that night but said they might have a room in the morning with the two beds that we originally booked. The staff also acted like this was our fault for not knowing it was parents weekend. They explained that we weren’t the only ones this has happened to and they were overbooked. When we moved into the correct room the next day, we were walked in on and then rushed out by staff. Wouldn’t ever come here again despite how wonderful my first visit was, this was such a nightmare experience. Oh and the most compensation they could give us was a $50 credit for items from the lobby.

STAY AWAY - Staff was incompetent and rude. They took $1860 ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT WITHOUT AUTHIRIZATION for a 2 night stay. I paid in full at checkin with my AMEX and charged the $150/night incidentals deposit to my debit. During my 2 night stay my debit was charged 4 separate charges totaling $1850.25 when my reservation was already paid in full. When I addressed this the staff had no answers and put me on hold for ages only for Emily to pick up and be condescending and rude to me so I took time to come back to the hotel in person to actually speak with someone. Now I am not sure how long it will take to get my refund of the overage

This is a solid hotel with a cool vibe, convenient to UCLA, Beverly Hills, Century City and the airport. I checked in early in the morning but because I’m an IHG member wasn’t charged an extra fee. Rooms are a good size and updated with a nice desk ideal for business travelers. The resort fee covers one free Uber ride under two miles per day, which I used to take me to Rodeo Drive and Westfield Century City. Nice perk! The neighborhood is mostly residential and walkable to charming Westwood Village. Interesting dining options are nearby in Sawtelle and Persian Square. There’s also a cool cemetery with lots of celebrities (including Marilyn Monroe) just a five-minute walk away. My only complaints are the room had no closet or place to hang clothes, which was strange. The $15 daily credit towards food and drink isn’t applied automatically to your bill and has to be requested at check out it at the front desk. That seemed a little shady. The restaurant is also overpriced, but that’s LA for you!
