    Just a tiny thing: The breakfast was super basic (only sweet stuff and fruits) and I would opt to go for an option in the village instead.

    Super friendly staff, nice area (close to walk anywhere in town) and quiet surroundings. Nice room, spacious bathroom.

    The only serious complaint applies to the entire city of Carmel. No Parking. I had to move my vehicle several times over the three days of our stay. As it wasn't my first trip to the city, I knew what to expect.

    I enjoyed the ambiance and design of the location. The staff was incredibly friendly. Service was impeccable as far as it was needed. It was on the outskirts of the market section of the city but still close enough to walk most places.

    We eloped in Carmel and chose this hotel as our base, we are so happy with our decision! The location is perfect, it has a really nice vibe and we managed to get free parking at the Sunset parking lot nearby. Have to mention Miley who was working the morning of our wedding, she is a star and really made us feel at ease and even arranged for a bottle of beautiful sparkling Rose to be put in our room. This lady is gold and is everything you want to make for a happy stay :)

    Parking is an issue.

    Just a few streets off Ocean makes this property a bit quieter than the sister location. Travelers be prepared as there are no assigned parking spots for this location -not even for check in. I got a good rate mid week and was happy with the accommodations-they even provide a flat iron along side the hair dryer and robe you would expect-good to know for next time. Refrigerators are noted for each room but they are full of items to purchase so if you are looking to store leftovers or snacks you may find room sparse there. Bikes are available to use and there are plenty of outdoor areas to lounge if traveling with others.

    Room was average-sized, however there weren't a ton of options to store luggage/clothing in the room. The towels could have been nicer as they stayed damp throughout our stay and are a bit thin. The fan in the bathroom didn't seem to come on.

    Excellent breakfast options for the morning with plenty of fruit and pastries to fuel your day, in addition to a small menu with items that can be requested from the wonderful staff at the Petit Pali.

    The only thing we didn’t like was having to stay in the bottom floor. There was a family above us with a small child who didn’t stop running back and forth since early morning and also late at night. That’s just common sense for the parents to have a little more consideration when staying at a hotel with little ones.

    My husband and I really enjoyed staying here. The cozy feel and ambience was perfect. Everyone in the staff was as very welcoming and attentive. We will definitely go back!

    The fridge and glasses are kept in the bathroom, which is off putting. Parking is also limited but as they don’t have their own lot.

    Location was great and the rooms were well appointed with some nice homey touches like cookie delivery and welcome drinks. The breakfast was also a great way to start the day.
