"We only stayed here one night as we were making stops down the coast of California but we would’ve stayed for a week if possible with how amazing this hotel was! The staff were very friendly, helpful and improved the overall experience. The property is beautiful and set one street over from the Carmel Beach which makes for easy beach access! The room was very clean/modern and is definitely a luxury experience! We highly recommend staying if you are a couple in search for a hotel in Carmel!"

Carmel Beach Hotel
Le Petit Pali at 8th Ave
4.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (64)
"The location is prime in the town so you can walk everywhere and the employees were very hospitable and friendly. The two things that stopped this place from being excellent were the lack of parking for even luggage drop off (especially when you are solo) and the bed. I had to drive around quite awhile to find parking. Also, the bed was too hard. Had to sleep with the pillows under my shoulders and hips because I am side sleeper. They do provide little extra touches and are dog friendly:)"
