We had an incredible time in Carmel. The accommodations and staff very great. We were treated like friends from the moment we arrived. Ravi was the most gracious host and we were fortunate to run into him when we got out of our car. He made a point to speak to us every day and offered good spots to visit and places to eat. We highly recommend the La Petit Pali. We will be back again.

Best part about this hotel is the location. It’s right at the end of Ocean Ave and a short walk to cafes, shops and restaurants. The bed was comfortable and shower pressure was awesome.
