Small rooms - no drawers. Can be noisy but it didn’t bother me.

Very cute upgraded motor lodge. The room was small but new, clean and neat. We stayed for 4 nights which was a little too long for this hotel since there were only a few hangers and no drawers. The location is excellent. The champagne breakfast was delicious. I loved the local marmalade’s, bread and granola. The 1 minute eggs were also a nice touch. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I’d recommend staying here for a one or two night getaway.

As noted in previous comments there is a busy road close by but that didn’t bother us personally.

This is a very nice hotel. The bathroom is so clean that you couldn't even find any watermark on the wall, the glass door and the sink. The moment you walk into the room you would feel relaxed and comfortable. the staffs were very friendly too. Wish I can come back and stay few more days in the future. Thank you!

n/a- perhaps slightly loud in the evenings as we were right off the parking lot unfortunately

everythign about this stay was so charming. the decor is stunning, and although the rooms are smaller than I expected, they clearly thought of everything. What is missed in the size of the room is made up 10x with everythign else the hotel offers. great location, on site parking, a fabbbbulous brekfast, welcome drinks. And Miley (Mylee**) at the desk was AMAAZING!!! would happily stay again

The rooms were too small.

The staff courtesy, the service, and the cleanliness of the place. The location was ideal too.

The breakfast is pretty stand out without any consideration of gluten-free. Beside that it was amazing and I will definitely go again.

The location was amazing and the stuff was really kind. The room is decorated really cute with everything you need inside and they have cookies afternoon and a glass of wine when you enter the room

Slightly noisy from the nearby roads .

Very well fitted out for the size of rooms . Lots of nice touches and things you wouldn’t necessarily expect.

On-site parking is minimal, and tight.

Situated in a rather nice location. With shopping, bakeries, and restaurants within 2 mins walking time/ distance.

I thought the price was a little steep considering it really is an upmarket motel

Beautifully decorated hotel right in the heart of Carmel. The staff on the front desk were very attentive and greeted us with sparkling wine on arrival. The rooms were comfortable and tastefully designed. We had a lovely nights sleep, despite the noise from the road outside. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast but nice to have it on offer.

Not enough parking

I love everything about it

My only complaint is the lack of privacy with the barn door for the bathroom, being the rooms are very Petite .

It’s adorably English countryside..

The parking lot is small-- we didn't have any trouble, but if you are arriving late at night, you may have difficulty parking. The lot was always full by about 7 PM. The breakfast setup was a little weird, and we only went once because of this even though the food was good. There's very little seating, only 2 tables inside and then 6 or so tables outside. It was busiest around 10 AM, so maybe go earlier if you want to get a table, because people also tended to linger. The nook where the breakfast is served is very small, so if multiple people were there it was crowded and took quite a while to serve yourself. The coffee and mimosas/champagne are great, but the beverage service was slow. We had finished eating before we got our coffee. If you stuck around long enough at breakfast, they left a tip envelope on the table, which I thought was a little odd and kind of tacky.

Overall, we loved Le Petit Pali! The location is great and made walking downtown easy. It's a motel vibe, but very updated and has a very cute aesthetic. The room was comfy, if a little small with our big dog. We booked our stay very last minute, so there wasn't a lot available, but we'd probably opt for a bigger room next time. Everything in the room was clean and seemed brand new. The Diptyque bathroom amenities were such a nice touch. The fun bonus touches like complimentary sparkling rosé on arrival, and the daily cookie delivery, just made our stay feel even more special. I found myself really looking forward to the cookies! The breakfast was delicious, loved the local pastries and the La Fermière yogurt. I saw some other reviews say that they were just refilling the La Fermière containers with other yogurt, but they seem to have fixed this because these were unopened new containers. Yum! And, of course we loved that the hotel was dog friendly. There is a pet fee (flat $140 for your stay) so just be mindful when booking. They have a weight limit of 35 pounds on their website, but I called in advance and they take bigger dogs as long as they are well-behaved.
