Petit Pali was such a lovely place to stay. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with friendly smiles. The staff was so helpful and hospitable and everything was meticululous. I love the design and curation of the rooms and the dining/ breakfast area. Great shops within walking distance and they even offered their umbrellas since it was sprinkling outside. I’m already considering my next trip just to have another reason to go back.

The petit pali was wonderful, I couldn’t have stayed at a better place in Carmel. It’s right next door to all the downtown shopping, has one of the best continental breakfasts (and all other amenities) I’ve ever had. All the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. For the price you can’t beat it! I will definitely be staying at the petit pali for my next visit to Carmel.

While the rooms were comfortable, the small fridge was filled with beverages for purchase, leaving no space for personal items. Room service was great, but they forgot to refill our coffee and creamer for four consecutive days. The continental breakfast was average, though the server was excellent. Additionally, the coffee in the lobby contained a significant amount of coffee grounds for four days, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, the room was comfortable, but I probably would not stay here again.

We had a great experience from the time we arrived to the time we left. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our morning breakfasts with them (getting to taste the local treats) and we were in perfect walking distance to everything. Its a quieter town, but we wanted to go out and have some drinks and found a cute small bar they recommended, Sade. Again, great experience!

Staff was courteous and helpful. The amenities are great and the hotel is very dog friendly. Due to the location of the hotel, there is road noise so use the earplugs provided by the hotel if needed. Also most of the parking spaces are on the smaller side so a big car is not recommended.
