Hotel has lots of character, room was great, clean, the bed was easily the most comfortable of all the hotels we stayed at on our 2 week roadtrip. Location was an easy walk to the beach and in the core area with the shops.

We had a great stay at the Pine Inn. The location is perfect, very central and within walking distance to everything. The staff were extremely nice and helpful, and the hotel itself is very cute. Our room was quite small, but we didn’t mind it at all. Overall, a wonderful stay and we’d happily come back!

This is a quaint, very charming, centrally located , “Super” Staff, great parking and we enjoyed our stay. (The Hotel itself needs some upgrading as far as condition of the furniture, carpets, door handles, bath faucets, towel racks, and dusting, we were in room #45.)That was for the owner, they need the extra hours to do this.

Reception/Concierge was very unwelcoming. Standoff-ish, and didn’t create a good vibe for my stay. The rooms are way too old. There’s a difference between retro/refurbished and just old and under maintained.

If you like old properties with good historical context, or have been to Europe and stayed in some of their older properties, then this place is for you. Great location, limited parking, and some really interesting period pieces for furnishings. Price of anything in Carmel is pretty high, so take $$$$ in stride. Don't miss their restaurant!
