The rooms near the street have trucks loading early in the morning. Avoid them at all costs. Some rooms have a smoky smell from the roof. The evening staff is very unhelpful. The day staff is very friendly.

This place is really worn down and looks “dirty” even when clean. Rooms are really small and feel cramped. This time they felt stuffy too, with little air circulation and no AC. Fan helped but couldn’t keep window open due to noise. No coffee maker or any amenities in room. No coffee or other freebies in the lobby. Overall feels like a cheap motel. If not for the location and convenience of 1-night stays, wouldn’t stay here at all.

We have stayed here before, but this was our anniversary. After returning from dinner, a short while later there was a knock on the door and there stood a staff member with an ice bucket and a bottle of champagne! This place is an absolute gem. It is right in the middle of all of the art galleries, boutique shopping, and restaurants all within walking distance from the hotel. I honestly cannot say enough about this place other than this will always be our hotel whenever we visit the area! Five stars?...I wish I could give SIX!!!

I will not coming back to pine inn in the future. No parking place we had to go around block several time to find one space on the street. Room was so hot. No AC. No elevator. Our room was on the 3rd floor. No one helped.

This is a charming and unique experience in a historical inn. However, the history of the building was the only positive aspect of our stay. I was disappointed in the lack of care, attention and kindness of staff. The carpet throughout the entire inn needs attention. Our room was dirty. A pill and dirty a-tip on the floor, a candy wrapper on the chair and makeup smears on the mirror were not very welcoming as we entered the room. The bathroom door did not close all the way and there were deliveries and glass bottle noises below us right outside the window as late as 1am. Worst nights’ sleep we have had on our week long stay up the PCH. Disappointing for the price.

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 It was very small and outdated.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)
