I arrived early and the receptionist allowed early registration so that I could park on the property so I could go on a long bike ride. Also room was available well before the 4:00 p.m. check-in time.

Located in the lovely Carmel by the sea this charming cottage hotel has such potential. The room is inviting with fireplace. The distraction is the deferred maintenance on the floors and an area that concerned me that could’ve been mole in the bathroom.

Beautiful small cabin style hotel in Carmel. 10 minute walk to carmel downtown. Parking for each cottage is separate in front of cottage. Perfect place for long stay.

The petit pali as near a perfect of stay as you could get. The hotel is right next door to all the best shopping in Carmel and restaurants. We didn’t have to drive anywhere! On top of an amazing location the continental breakfast was one of the best (along with all other amenities) I’ve ever had; the staff was also very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be staying at the petit Pali for my next trip to Carmel. Oh! And you can’t beat the price for this place.

This property is very old and needs to be updated. Inside is clean but very antiquated. Outside is dilapidated - needs a lot of attention.
