Pine Inn

This was the perfect location for exploring the town of Carmel, the beach, and Scenic Rd. The staff were very friends and responsive. The room was clean and cozy! I’d definitely stay here again!

The Pine Inn has been a special place for my husband and me since we first stayed there on our Honeymoon in 1972. My siblings gave us a gift certificate for our 50th Wedding Anniversary in 2022 for us to make a return visit. We decided to use their generous gift to celebrate our 75th and 80th birthdays, which are a week apart. Jen and the entire staff took amazing care of us during our two-day stay in the Presidential Suite. Our entire time there was exceptional. Thank you so much to my siblings and to the staff of the Pine Inn for providing us with such a special experience.

We also enjoyed two wonderful meals downstairs at Il Fornaio and made a number of fantastic purchases at Diggidy Dog for the grandpup.

The Pine Inn is centrally located in Carmel on Ocean Avenue and provides easy access to the best of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Excellent location. Nice large room. Comfortable and near everyone. Historical building, very nice. Hotel offers parking and an Italian restaurant.

Great staff, location

Lovely quaint old hotel, very clean, but our room was very small, good location has a restaurant attached for breakfast dinner drinks etc, but closes quite early, as most things do in Carmel.
There is no elevators in this hotel, so we and others have to drag our cases upstairs, ourselves, although we were offered help. There is a good sized car park at the rear and we were able to get into it, but in season it may be more difficult.
We never used the restaurant as there were meant places nearby to try. Would recommend this hotel as location is good and refreshing from the usual boxy new style hotels.

This property was perfect for our four-night stay in the Sonoma / Napa region. Would gladly stay there again.

The Pine Inn is a historic hotel. For the price we paid and location of the hotel-in the heart of Carmel, it was fine but I would not recommend. Rooms did not have fridges or coffee makers and very few electrical outlets. Biggest complaint was that sheets and towels smelled like wet dog. Cleanliness of carpet at furniture also questionable. No a/c which is uncommon in Carmel but our room was stuffy. Hotel did provide fan which helped. Also, parking is nightmare especially on weekends. We arrived Saturday afternoon and had to find street parking for two hours and then keep checking back until a spot was available on hotel lot.

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!

Great location!

Stairs were more like a ladder. No elevator. Don’t recommed.

Stayed 2 nights. Room was hot until hotel provided a large fan. Great location with convenient restaurants.

Location is good. Can reach to some good restaurants quickly. The room facility is clean. The pity part is, the room we had stayed had pretty bad voice isolation, we can hear next door's conversation very clearly.

Not clean as expected, not housekeepers fault but stain carpet, chipped toilet seat and furniture, mold around the bath tub etc.
Though the website says enough parking but there was no parking?? When asked the front desk we are told to find the street parking( that we have to move every 2 hours )

Great location but very old dirty carpets, windows and walls are paper thin so you hear everything outside and in your neighbors room

Needed A/C

The plumbing made a lot of noise, even from other rooms, it kept me up at night. The service was terrible as well. When I complained to the desk clerk about it, they just told me to take it up with Expedia.

My room was on the 3rd floor, no elevator. There was no coffee available in the morning with out asking for it, which was given begrudgingly. Overall, not a pleasant experience.

The shopping and dining options were excellent. All within easy walking conditions. There was available parking across the street. What we didn't like was being woken up at 2am by a beetle landing on my ear and then getting into my shirt. There was also no air conditioning in this room.

Everything was great besides the roof in our room but if you can get past that it was prime location for everything in Carmel. Walking distance of everything, I’d stay again for sure

Beautiful property, Great attention to care for guest's.
