The is our second stay at a Petit Pali hotel. We stayed at the Carmel location in the Fall, and loved it. The Laguna Beach location could not be more perfect. The hotel sits directly off of the PCH across the street from the Montage Hotel and beach access. The walk down to the beach and beach area was stunningly beautiful. The hotel provided beach chairs, and towels and also had beach umbrellas available if desired. Everything at the hotel is so thoughtfully designed and decorated. It is stunning really. Two small complaints. First, we had sand all around the perimeter of our shower that had not been cleaned from the previous person before us. I kindly asked for housekeeping to attend to the issue and the hotel assured me they would. The issue was never resolved and I did not want to hound the hotel about it, so I let it be. The shower curtain in our room was dirty and needing to be replaced. The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast in the mornings. While the selection is small, they do offer delicious yogurt, with homemade granola, a few pastries and whole fruit. They also offer alcoholic beverages. We do not drink alcohol but were still asked to leave a tip for the yogurt and orange juice we ate for breakfast. For me, it was a bit off putting. Perhaps it is ok to ask for a tip for those drinking alcohol? I am not sure. I guess I just feel like if you offer a complimentary breakfast, it should be that…no tips required. All in all, the hotel is lovely and I would stay again
