This is an overly convenient part of town and the rooms are super cute. Really charming. Make sure you ask for the hotel on Ocean because there are two and the other one doesn’t have parking.

The place attempts to construct a French Country air. The staff was very good. The rooms are small and counter space is at a premium.

Convenient location and great staff. Pros of location are that there is a lot of very loud traffic noise so take your ear plugs if that is likely to bother you. As a recently renovated establishment it seems very old fashioned to not have SMART TVs in every room. On enquiry I was told one could borrow an AppleTV box which is helpful but it’s been a long time since I stayed somewhere that only had Xfinity on the TV as a default.

We loved everything about this property! The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and parking our car was easy. The room was spacious and comfortable, with an electric fireplace - functional for heat and wonderful for ambiance. The luxurious extras were amazing - from the robes to the slippers and even a Nespresso coffee maker in the room. If we were staying longer, we would have taken advantage of the complimentary bicycles they offer to guests. The glass of wine and fresh baked cookies upon arrival were a welcome surprise, and complimentary breakfast was way more than we expected in both presentation and variety - all of it delicious. All in all, this was our favorite overnight stop on our trip down the PCH, and would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

I really enjoyed my stay at Petite Pali! I stayed for my birthday weekend and loved it. We were fully accommodated by Alex and April! They were so lovely and warm, definitely made our stay that much better. Both fire places in our rooms didn't work, however someone left a space heater in our room which was helpful and much appreciated. I will say the conditioner and the body wash dispenser in our room did not work either but luckily we brought our own. Over all, great experience, we will be staying again!
