"The price tag is a bit steep at this 751-room resort designed in richly wooded Craftsman style, but standard rooms sleep up to two adults and four kids."

"Disney didn't miss the details when constructing this enormous version of an Arts and Crafts-era lodge... hiring craftspeople... to contribute one-of-a-kind tiles, furniture, sculpture, and artwork."

"Palihouse arrives on the Westside, inside a historic 1920s Spanish Colonial building, steps from the Third Street Promenade."

"Service is attentive, rooms are generally oversize, and there are a number of the units that sport kitchens and kitchenettes aimed at attracting well-paid long-stay guests."

"Just a stroll from the Pacific and mere blocks from posh Montana Avenue and the lively Third Street Promenade."

"In an opulent 1927 Moorish revival building, the new Palihouse Santa Monica has an even cozier feel than its Melrose counterpart."
