The

Cute room, we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and cookies Thin walls very noisy our neighbors kept slamming their door late night/early morning

Appreciate the fact that it was close to downtown.

Great continental breakfast. Staff was great. Rooms were very quaint. Parking was limited.

Everything No gym or pool

Great location - very walkable to town and beach. Breakfast was super delicious and convenient.

My husband and I stayed at Le Petit Pali for our wedding anniversary and overall we felt our stay was just okay. When we arrived, I was surprised to find that the property is essentially a motel with charming decor. While it looks cute, it wasn't what I expected based on the photos and price point. The biggest disappointment was that there was no air conditioning. I didn't think to check beforehand because I assumed a hotel in this price range would have AC. That definitely impacted our comfort visiting during July. I was also confused by the high daily amenities fee. There isn't a pool, no onsite parking and there's not even an elevator to bring your luggage to the upper floor, so it wasn't clear to us what the fee was covering. They do offer complimentary bikes to ride into town, but we didn't feel comfortable using them because Carmel's streets are narrow and busy. Many of the "amenities" listed on the website seem to be standard hotel offerings, such as Wi-Fi and linens, rather than extras that would justify the additional fee. They deliver complimentary cookies to your room each evening, which is a nice touch in theory, but unfortunately we didn't think they tasted very good. On a positive note, the location was convenient and made it easy for us to explore Carmel. Overall, the hotel wasn't terrible, but it didn't meet our expectations for a special anniversary getaway given the cost. We plan to choose a different hotel the next time we visit Carmel.

Amazing location. Beautiful and clean rooms. Charming outdoor courtyard. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this hotel!! Will definitely go back again!

Breakfast menu below expectations. Parking difficult.

Location was great. Walkable to Ocean Ave. Clean. Love the fresh cookies. Breakfast had quality breads and spreads. Green juice was yummy. Bed was comfortable. The front desk was nice enough to let me know I forgot something. I wish breakfast had more variety aside from pastries and boiled eggs. Fresh fruit would have been nice. Unfortunately there was a stain on one of the robes in the room. Walls were a bit thin. Response time via text was slow at times.

Nice interior design, Good Breakfast The noise in my room was unbearable. I stayed in Room #11. I think it must have been next to the back office, so not only was I hearing noise from the upstairs guest, but also from the back office, which went on all night. Didn't sleep a wink.

Good

Everything about our stay here was perfect! Such a cozy and inviting place. The breakfast served each morning was delish. All their pastries are locally sourced, which gave the stay a more personal feel. The staff was the BEST! So accommodating and helpful.

Room was very pretty and very clean. Staff was amazing!

Nice breakfast and room.

Our stay here was perfect! The inn was clean, the staff were help and friendly and the location was great! The breakfast in the morning was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Deceivingly cute. Do not be fooled by the photos. It’s a motel. It’s incredibly noisy. Zero insulation so you hear absolutely everything. You have to keep the windows open for air because there is no A/C in Carmel so you hear ALL the guest chatting and walking by all the time because everyone has to keep their windows open for air and some resorting to propping their doors open. This is a basic cheap motel with lipstick on it. All cosmetic with no improvements to the actual motel apart from cute furnishings and misleading instagram photos . Noisy fridge placed 2 feet from bed and a fan that you can’t use because it rattles. The hotel is very cute looking, tastefully decorated, has comfortable beds with decent bedding but it’s still a not suited for a good night rest and certainly not fit to be called a boutique hotel. If you’re charging $400- $700 a night we’re gonna expect more!

I liked the location of Le Petit Pali, although, parking was challenging at times due to the 2 hr parking limit. The rooms were very small, even smaller than I expected, it made for a tight squeeze and I was glad we didn't bring our dog, it would have been too small. It was a charming property, but I wouldn't stay again, not for the price. I expected a bit more for having paid over $600/night.

Breakfast was wonderful! Great friendly staff and service. Fresh delicious food! We are dairy allergic, so we appreciated the non dairy options. Everything was clean and we liked the decor. The patio was clean and inviting.We loved the location to town. We would never stay there again for a few reasons. For the price point we were disappointed in the noise!! The loud party atmosphere in the court yard, (right outside our windows) that we had to complain about all three nights was ridiculous. The room above us was very noisy. (It really sounded like they moved every piece of furniture) until 10:30. And we hated the "music" (speakers outside our windows) that was blaring from 8-8! It was not restful. We also felt it very invasive to have cookies brought into our room (with singing) even though we expressed our allergy to them.
