Overall very outdated building with outdated room interior, dead bug on the carpet floor, strange smell although not too strong, and the floor of my room is connected to the stairs, so whenever people walks up the stairs there was a very loud noise in the room.

The hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade…very old & run down. The staff at the reception are rude & not accommodating at all. Seems like the hotel management has changed. It was our anniversary trip & we asked for a quiet room. They gave us the room above where all the deliveries are done 4:00 AM…hence a lot of noise…and then when we told them about it the new person at reception said that it’s one of their worst rooms.

The inn is really quaint and cute and I loved the lobby. Biggest challenge was the noise. They’re having construction so we were woken up very early in the morning to the sounds of a loud truck and construction

The place has multiple levels but no elevator, necessitating a steep climb to our room dragging our luggage(we're 80). Parking was a block away and also very inconvenient. The bed in the room was pushed into one of the corners, and for the inside sleeper to get in and out, the outside person had to get up and let them out. Also, there was no table in the room which made having any thing to eat in the room difficult.

Very old building, yet nice and clean. Very comfortable beds and an excellent breakfast restaurant! The staff in the Pine Inn were not friendly and we had to go in the back door to get to rooms. No elevator or help with luggage. The wait staff at the restaurant and the food was excellent!

The front desk check in process was terrible. Our reservation was lost and Jason at the front desk was combative, insulting and stated "you don't have to stay here". This was our anniversary weekend and my daughters birthday. We had reserved 2 rooms. I have never been so upset and wished that someone could be fired as much as I wish Jason could be as a result of his unprofessional behavior! It has taken me this long to get over the experience to write this review. Prior to this experience we always stayed at the Pine Inn.

Jetted tub was nice, beds were cozy and warm. Walls are a bit thin, and bathroom needs to vent.

A charming little hotel. Absolutely wonderful service. You could see the age in some parts, but it was still lovely. The lobby is a beautiful time capsule. Anything we needed we got within minutes.

Challenging...not recommended...old place, heat doesn't work, loud, vibrating noise from restaurant that will not answer calls for roomservice. Toilet a trust fall as it's so low then watch out for protuding tp dispenser! Bathroom door pops open on its own hitting you in the knees and exposing you to your roommate. Ugh. Restaurant service in person terrible. Naturally, parking in Carmel Challenging but noise from north facing rooms get restaurant and trash major noises. Not worth it at all.

So much nicer than a large chain resort!

The staff, the ambience, the history of the property made it extra special.
