Le Petit Pali at 8th Ave
4.3/557 Reviews
Le Petit Pali at 8th was amazing! We celebrated my 30th here from Fort Worth, TX and had such an amazing trip. We brought our 7 month old son and had baby rental gear delivered via BabyQuip. Karen and Shaq set up the gear and moved us to a bigger room before we got there which was so sweet, we definitely felt welcomed as a family. Shaq was so helpful with recommendations and Karen was always checking in to see if we needed anything. The champagne breakfast is a fun touch and Natalie our waitress was on top of it. I always felt like staff was on top of cleanliness and our room was always so clean. Valencia the housekeeper did a great job and I loved that they were always cleaning around our time out of the room and trying to make in convenient for us. The decor of the entire place is precious and such a fun vibe and the T3 straightener, blow dryer, and clothes steamer are nice additions as well! This would be a great place for a girls trip, couple, or families. I previously read concerns on parking and the walls being thin but I will say the little amount of foot traffic I heard from the room upstairs didn’t bother us or the baby at all, and the parking during December wasn’t much of an issue either. If having a parking lot is priority then you could select the ocean ave property that Le Petit Pali has. Chris at the front desk was super helpful at checkout explaining the differences in properties so I know for next time but we would definitely come back here because of the great touches and the customer service! The room did have a mini fridge but I also needed a freezer for ice packs for my breastmilk and the front desk was happy to keep the ice packs in their freezer up front, just a note for moms traveling with milk. Thanks for an amazing 30th birthday trip! A note on the AC….most hotels in Carmel don’t have them which worried me a bit being from Texas but in December we kept a window open during the day and heater on at night and the temp was perfect.
Carmel Wayfarer Inn
3.7/5106 Reviews
When I arrived at the hotel at noon, the uncle at the front desk told me that I could check in at 1:30 pm. When I checked in, I changed to another uncle and told me I was sorry to check in at 3:00. Room facilities are old, shower water is cold, water is not hot enough and small. Breakfast is very simple.
Hofsas House Hotel
4.1/5102 Reviews
The hotel is near the town center, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the commercial street. It can be said that the location is very good. There are many varieties of breakfast, including orange juice, coffee, yogurt and several kinds of bread. Compared with other hotels, there are more choices. The front desk clerk is very friendly, because the hotel does not have an elevator, so if you have luggage, you can ask the room attendant to help you deliver it to the room. The room is not big, the shower room is not big, maybe it is exhausted to the level of Samsung in China
Comfort Inn Carmel by the Sea
4/5101 Reviews
Very close to the highway and close to the 17th bay. The facilities have been slightly improved and the sound insulation is not very good. Back to another similar hotel. There is a complimentary breakfast, the bed is very large and it is ok in general. If you drive by car, you can stop at the door. The gas station is separated by two streets.
Pine Inn - Carmel
3.9/5102 Reviews
The room is small and complete, this is the first hotel in the town, not open on weekends, so good luck. Twin room, the bed is a bit small, but the baby sleeps in a small bed with a sofa, just fine. Breakfast is delivered by the hotel, but the tip is not rich, but the miscellaneous fruits are pineapple, cantaloupe, cucumber and so on. Next to the hotel is lush, smelling a scent, can not help but buy. Carmel Beach should be visible across the bed.
Best Western Carmels Town House Lodge
3.8/5112 Reviews
If you are want to visit the downtown Carmel area and plan to park your car and walk everywhere, you are in luck with this hotel. We booked a king room for a two night stay and did plenty of research so we knew both the negatives and the positives. We had a very nice quiet room with covered parking, so helpful. It seemed to be unseasonably warm in the afternoon hours, especially in the sun with the high humidity, so the lack of A/C in the room was felt, but opening the windows and using the old fan did help. Maybe they could consider a ceiling fan in the future. We left the door open several times to get extra ventilation in the room, but we found that the bugs wanted to enter the room as well. As previously mentioned, there is no elevator, just stairs. If you have mobility issues, be aware of this. The lady that checked us in was very kind, welcoming and friendly. Appreciated her helpfulness. Just a quick reminder that everything in the downtown Carmel area is ”smallish,” meaning that shops, restaurants and sometimes local inns and hotels, are not big on space. If you feel the need to spread out, this is not the place for you, but it is in a great location and reasonably priced for an expensive area.
