"This hotel was like a dream - one of those \"please-don't-let me-wake-up\" kind of dreams.\nI love old Montreal, and this small boutique hotel fits in perfectly with the cobblestone streets, beautiful terraces and quaint shops. Le Petit Hotel (\"the small hotel\" en Anglais) is just that - a 24 room hotel that is lovingly maintained and stylishly outfitted.\n\nAs you enter the hotel you'll notice that there's a coffee menu behind the check-in desk. No, you haven't walked into the wrong establishment, Le Petit is also a lovely caf\u00E9 with espresso, cappuccino and delicious croissants.\n\nThe staff here subscribe to a whole other level in customer service excellence. Interacting with the staff feels more like chatting with a neighbour or grabbing a coffee with an old friend. They are full of great local suggestions for shopping and dining as well as local entertainment. \n\nUpon unlocking my door I was met with the soulful sound of jazz piano on the iPod dock- an incredibly small, but thoughtful gesture that immediately set the tone in the room. Funky retro orange furniture and silver lamps are warmed by exposed stone walls and beautiful shutter windows that open up all the way (be careful if leaving these open too long - I had a roomful of mosquitoes upon waking up!) to let in the beautiful night air.\n\nThere were a couple features in the room that made a big difference to my comfort level - the closet was huge with a ton of storage, the bed was incredibly comfortable with soft, decadent bedding, and not only were there sconces on either side of the bed, each had a reading light attached that was fully adjustable to make us bed readers love life just a little bit more.\n\nWhile these features were awesome by absolute favourite thing about my room was the shower. Hands-down, without a doubt the best shower I've ever had! The spacious shower boasts 5 jets and adjustable temperature control. Huge bonus - they stock Aveda toiletries that smell like mojitos - DELICIOUS.\n\nMy two nights at Le Petit were a delight and when I left I had that slight twinge of regret, much like the feeling you get when waking after a fantastic dream. Keep doing what you're doing Le Petit - your little hotel is an old Montreal dream."^^ .
