A Wonderful Inn

The Pine Inn at Carmel-by-the-Sea was a wonderful experience. We had a clean and comfortable room with views to the beach. The Inn has everything to offer, great dining and shops to enjoy.

We were given a standard room at back of the property.The radiator heating in the room did not work. Was told it was on timer and would turn on at 5pm. 6pm still no heat, when I called was told it would be turned on in 15mins later. After alot of metallic banging noise and gurgling water noises the radiator started to get hot but the control knob would not control the heat and it got so hot it was untouchable 120C or more. Called the front desk and was told there was nothing they could do. But we could pay to get a room upgrade. We decided to go to dinner and leave it to warm up room. When came back the room was like a sauna, opening the window for 1hr did not help. So we called the front desk and told them to turn off the heat deciding we would use blankets to stay warm. 5am the restaurant kitchen below out room started up and with all noise from voices and service vehicles coming and going we got no sleep. Miserable stay with no help from the staff. Lesson. Terrible hotel. Pay more and stay somewhere decent.

Great hotel

Lovely older hotel on Ocean Avenue, in the heart of galleries, shops and restaurants, and a short walk to Carmel beach. We booked a room with a double bed, knowing it was much smaller than our King at home, which size wise was ok for one night. But the mattress was old and saggy, leading to an uncomfortable night's sleep. Otherwise, everything was terrific, including free parking at the hotel, which is at a premium in central Carmel. We highly recommend the hotel...just don't book that double bed room!

This property is in need of a huge remodel. The roooms are dingy and boring. The third floor hall that goes downhill made me question the safety. Most of all there are NO ELEVATORS! This should be very prominent in the advertising. This is very sad because this hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Carmel. Time for an update guys. Staff was excellent . Go to Restaurant was excellent.

The Pine Inn is the "Grand Old Lady" of Carmel. Multiple generations of faithful travelers have stayed there for it's charm, attentive staff & gracious hospitality. It is not there anylonger. The dining area does not open early. I got my coffee across the street. I sat in the dining room to wait for my friend to come down from their room. I was told "nothing is free lady, you can't sit there unless to order breakfast". I went into the lobby where there are multiple signs staying "no food or drink". I asked the desk where I could sit. She said: "Well, you could go outside". It was raining and I walk with a cane. I had my wedding there 50 yrs ago. One of my 4 children had their honeymoon there. Ive stayed at The Pine Inn so often in the past, that they use to send me Xmas cards. I now undetstand why the hotel was nearly empty last week. The staff is rude & undertrained. The "Grand Lady" of Carmel is a lovely shell of a building. Im not sure who owns the hotel now, but I would never recommend anyone I know to stay there under its current management.
