Le Petit Pali at Ocean Ave

My husband and I came here on our honeymoon and had the best experience with Jessica, Alex, the two men at the front desk (sorry for not knowing the names), the morning breakfast team, housekeeping, everyone! We absolutely loved our stay, enjoyed the breakfast every morning, and the amenities. We even got to celebrate with champagne. We had a wonderful time and this location has an amazing team!

From the moment we arrived at this charming hotel, I was completely blown away by the exceptional service and attention to detail. The front receptionist lady was welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. It’s clear they take great pride in creating a memorable experience for each guest as they arrive. Prepare to enjoy a glass of sparkling rose wine. The French-inspired decor throughout lobby and rooms was absolutely stunning, transporting me straight to Paris. The elegance and refinement of every room and common area made it feel like a luxurious escape. Every corner was thoughtfully designed, with beautiful touches that added to the overall ambiance. Very quaint and small hotel, not the huge corporate hotel model. To top it all off, the baked pastries were divine! Freshly made, they were the perfect complement to our morning coffee. And let’s not forget the sparkling rosé—such a delightful treat that made us feel like we were indulging. This hotel exceeded all expectations in every way, and we can’t wait to return. It’s rare to find such a combination of impeccable service, stunning decor, rooms with fireplace and thoughtful touches that make you feel truly special. Highly recommend!

I’ve recently stayed here, and I felt the need to write a review to clarify what this is for future customers. It’s a motel, on the side of a busy road. Rooms are nice, the front of house lady is very nice, but for $700 a night, this is absolute daylight robbery. I stay in a lot of hotels, I know Carmel is an expensive town but I feel completely ripped off. The website and photos polish it all up very nicely but the reality is it’s a posh motel. Just want to manage expectations of future guests. Ps most rooms nosey, but room 18 is like sleeping out in the carpark.
