Hotel stay was amazing. The front desk when we checked in was super friendly. I believe one was named Alex. It’s true, you do get champagne at check in. And also , they sent us down the street for sister hotel happy hour, and they also gave us free champagne and snacks. The room was very cute, loved the fire place and super modern. The next day we went to the “complimentary breakfast” and I’m pleased to say it was exceptional. Five stars isn’t enough. Mimosas, fresh delicious pastries, a fancy and cute yogurt bar, fresh fruit, boiled eggs, fresh sourdough bread if you want toast. This was for my girlfriend’s birthday weekend and the hotel really made our stay perfect. Can’t wait until we can go again. Walking distance to anything you could need, as well a the beach.

Overall, my stay was very enjoyable. Natalie at the front desk was fantastic—friendly and helpful throughout. The hotel’s prime location is a major plus, making it convenient to get around. The only downside was the building's sound insulation; noise from people walking in the halls and doors closing was quite noticeable. Still, the positives outweighed the negatives, and I’d consider staying again.

Pros: Very cute. Clean. Nice staff. Close to everything including downtown Carmel and beach. All walking distance. Cons:Room is very small and cramped. No closet. Bathroom door is a sliding barn door so NO privacy if you’re not traveling alone. Otherwise the location alone is worth it.

Very cute hotel with friendly staff and a perfect location. Only critique is that the rooms aren’t very well insulated for sound, so you may want to bring your earplugs especially if you like to sleep in. Great breakfast. Free parking. Very nice high end bath products.

We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Everything about the property is so thoughtful and absolutely darling. It was perfect for our first anniversary. And the staff was WONDERFUL—incredibly kind, gracious, and ready to do anything they could to make our stay better. Great location too. Would absolutely come back and will be looking for other Pali Society properties going forward.
