Le Petit Pali at 8th Ave

We enjoyed the breakfast, but the front desk was unresponsive on several calls, and there was no shower gel in our shower. When we called for ice, we got no answer. The key system was faulty; only the master keys worked, so we never received our own keys. There was no parking, so we won’t return. Their website listed a 12 noon checkout, yet they called at 11:15 and said checkout was at 11. We liked the proximity to the ocean, the beautiful beaches, and the town, but the food could use more color.

The hotel was too loud; the entrance doors slammed and the whole building shook.

“Le Petite Pali has a charm of it's own. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and the staff incredibl”

The location was great, the breakfast lovely, and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, and I enjoyed sitting in the beautiful courtyard. However, the place wasn’t very sound‑proof: I could hear a neighboring room talking loudly at 5:30 am, and a guest in another room yelled “SHUT UP!” at the top of her lungs. Being on the ground floor, the person in the room above us spent an incredible amount of time walking—so loud we nicknamed him “Thumper.”

“Juste une nuit”

The décor was nice, but there was a lack of storage.

“Despite some minor things, we loved the hotel and had great time in Carmel and surroundings!”

The charm of the place and the hospitality of the staff stood out, and the design and convenient location near the main street and restaurants were great. The room was comfortable and had all the amenities you might need, so I highly recommend it. That said, given the overall quality, a few surprises emerged: the breakfast was nice but very limited—no cooked or warm options, not even typical hotel fare like smoked salmon or cheese. Storage space for clothes in the room was very limited, and there was no A/C—just a fan, which was insufficient even in mid‑September; we had to leave windows open all night, and the noise from other guests was sometimes loud. Parking in Carmel can be tricky, especially during busy periods, and there’s no dedicated parking for the hotel, so we had to find spots around. Aside from these points, the hotel is lovely, charming, comfortable, well‑designed, and conveniently located.
