Charming, luxurious property in an ideal location. Rooms are petite, but all three of our rooms had fireplaces —. elegant, comfortable and inviting. Ritz Carlton quality bedding. Staff is warm and welcoming. Snafu in the reservation, but Stephanie Lewis, the General Manager was exceptional in how she resolved the issue. Master class in professional hospitality. Highly recommend and I will stay here again with my family in the future!

Le Petit Pali on Ocean Ave offers a charming experience from the moment you arrive, with a complimentary sparkling drink to welcome guests and beautiful teacups provided in each room for enjoying morning or afternoon tea. Our stay on the 4th of July was made even more special by the patriotic symphony performance in the neighboring park across the street, which provided a delightful soundtrack for hours. The location is wonderfully convenient, with a small market within walking distance. The hotel thoughtfully provides reusable bags for guests to carry groceries to and from their rooms, which is both practical and environmentally conscious.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Carmel at Le Petite Pali. Great location, fantastic breakfast, close to shopping, restaurants and everything Carmel has to offer. All this proximity to town and central location, comes with extra traffic noise. But it’s offset with amazing breakfast and hospitality!

Good (not great) hotel

Cute boutique hotel in great location. Breakfast is wonderful and staff was nice. However, it’s on a busy street and with no A/C, sleeping with the windows open was really noisy. The room was very small and bathroom doesn’t give much privacy with a barn door. Also, the parking lot is very tight. Overall it’s a nice hotel but has some drawbacks.

Really quite charming...

We found Le Petit Pali to be very comfortable. That said, we booked through hotels.com and got a fairly reasonable rate for the area (with which we're familiar). I've noticed that some of the reviews cite prices almost double what we paid, and to be totally honest, this would be a different review if that had been our price point. The positives: A comfortable bed, an abundant honor bar, good water pressure and a rain-style shower. A lot of thought has gone into the detailed French country-themed decor. This is a great location, downtown Carmel and the beach are within walking distance. Complimentary wine at check-in and evening cookies. We didn't attend the continental breakfast or evening drinks. Complimentary bottled water, and oat milk for coffee were nice touches. We used the Bluetooth speaker without issue. There was a great wall-mounted gas fireplace that threw lots of heat. Negatives: The room seemed dim until we optimized the lighting. Swing-arm reading lamps were cute but fiddly and out of reach once in bed. There is no folding luggage rack. It can be noisy because the closest intersection leads uphill out of town, so vehicles accelerate. There is no tea kettle and trying to heat water in the Nespresso resulted in tea water with coffee grounds (yech). The property doesn't have an ice machine. The bathroom has a sliding barn-style door, which doesn't seal completely, so not a lot of privacy (there is a very quiet fan). This was our biggest complaint, to be honest.

Grumpy check-in staffed and loud room

If not for the grumpy check in guy ( latino gentleman with a ponytail) and the fact he hat after being quiet unwelcoming he placed us in a room near the ice machine and trash shoot, we could hear guest and staff utilizing them at all jours of tge day and night so sleep was hard to cone by.
