Bathroom issues

It was very well decorated. I liked all the little details. Our bathroom was a problem and i raised concern although nothing happened. The sink makes a very loud like engine noise every time we turned it on. Something with plumbing. It was scary using it in the middle of the night. The shower was seemingly clogged or something—two minutes in the shower and you’re standing in a bath. It overflowed into the outside of the shower and soaked through the towels. Very bad setup. It was slippery and uncomfortable every time we tried to shower.

When I arrived and checked in I was told the room was ready and given a key. When I got up there there was someone still cleaning it and she said it wasn’t ready but she would check. She came back and said it was ready. It seemed fine and clean but when I went ti shower I noticed that the shampoo and body wash were out. I didn’t bring any because I saw it was provided. Later that night we noticed that there wasn’t any extra toilet paper. These things are more of inconveniences than anything but still, when you pay that kind of money for a one night stay you shouldn’t have to call the front desk multiple times

Petit Pali was such a lovely place to stay. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with friendly smiles. The staff was so helpful and hospitable and everything was meticululous. I love the design and curation of the rooms and the dining/ breakfast area. Great shops within walking distance and they even offered their umbrellas since it was sprinkling outside. I’m already considering my next trip just to have another reason to go back.

The petit pali was wonderful, I couldn’t have stayed at a better place in Carmel. It’s right next door to all the downtown shopping, has one of the best continental breakfasts (and all other amenities) I’ve ever had. All the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. For the price you can’t beat it! I will definitely be staying at the petit pali for my next visit to Carmel.
