Very nice property, upscale and hip. Wish the gym was larger as there were too many people in the morning, but encouraged me to jog to Venice beach so not all bad. maybe a partnership with a local fitness center (John Reed) for as reduced cost day pass would be better for those that like a real fitness center.

Staff were attentive, friendly, and very helpful. Palma is a great spot for casual food and to relax and work or catch up with friends. It's a lovely casual and comfortable lounge style restaurant/bar during the day. Food is good too. Calabra food is the best. Great rooftop spot for amazing food, great service, and good drinks. Make sure to book a reservation in advance. The hotel and rooms are beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It's further inland, but you are close to Montana street eats, snacks, and shopping.

The spa situation is quite odd and is actually detached from hotel, the price is not worth the spa environment. No steam no sauna no hot or cold plunges etc. They had some challenges I am sure being over capacity for the Lobby bar as the rooftop was closed due to rain. Sat us (2 people) than asked us to move so they can seat the DJ’s friends, no big deal we moved for them (compd bread) . Service was very poor, no one came to table for a hour, we had to ask manager to get service.. excuse was that they thought we didn’t want anything even though it was a dinner reservation.. comp one non-alc drink. Just very poor service and even response to the poor service. Hotel itself is nice just would pick somewhere else for a staycation with proper amenities and service
