Stayed one night amidst a longer road trip. Front desk staff was nice and helpful, but I was disappointed with the room for the amount spent. It was very small and outdated. I know that many other inns in Carmel are like this (you stay there for the location, charm, history, etc. vs the amenities), and I can appreciate that, but I’m glad we only stayed for one night… they were also doing work on the roof directly outside our window a majority of the day we were there which didn’t contribute anything positive to our overall experience. Overall, a fine experience, but if traveling to Carmel again, I’d look to book elsewhere.

Cute area but old building so the heater made noise at night. if you are booking through Expedia make sure to call directly and ask how many beds are in a room etc. Average service. Be prepared to drive around to find parking.

Perfect location near downtown

The location was perfect to all the restaurants and shopping. The staff was friendly. The room was cozy and comfortable. The ceiling fan did not work and the french doors did not close all the way. The shower/tub had no space to put toiletries. A shower rack would have been useful.

What I love the most is the professional service from Michael receptionist, the other staff. I love spend on hotel for interior design and facility. Unfortunately, my room our heater doesn't work and I got a small heat instead and also I feel the hotel could invest in soap, shampoo, conditioner, ears cotton to have a better quality and package to be match with the price they charge. Which is not worth for me to paid $275 for 1 night. (This price is after discount)

I booked pine inn because the neighborhood is wonderful, though the pine inn itself needs some updating. The property seems in poor condition. Room feels dirty very dated & worn furniture as well as brown dirty carpets and worn bedding. I paid for a ocean view which was blocked by scaffolding. Unfortunately it left me feeling taken advantage of being that I paid extra for the view. The staff seem tolerant but complacent. Parking is limited and you may have to find street parking as there is not much "free" hotel parking.

Characterful hotel in fabulous location. Convenient for shops a beach. Good restaurant. Sea view from third floor. No lift so big effort required to get cases up stairs. Adjoining rooms had paper thin walls and lacked some privacy.

Loved our time at this charming inn! The location is wonderful and the service was also great. The only negatives we had was not having an AC and coffee maker. Other than that, a great property to stay at.

We booked an ocean-view room, parking included, for one night. They forgot to mention the scaffolding covering the view side of the building. Parking is available only for the first 20 of 49 rooms, so you have to drive around to find a spot and then move every two hours. The lounge looks lovely, but you cannot relax with a drink there, no food/drinks allowed, which is NOT shown on their website photos. It's an historic building, badly restored. Please see photos... The bathroom and closet are 2-star hotel level. It was disappointing and did not reflect the rating listed. We deeply regret following your advice.
