The staff was amazing and the location was perfect. The history of the building is really cool. It seems like an update is needed— the lampshades were torn and dingy and the bed was so uncomfortable that neither my husband nor I slept well.

Review Title: Challenging Stay Amidst Renovations and Parking Woes My recent stay at a hotel in Carmel was marred by a couple of significant issues that future guests should be aware of. Firstly, the lack of on-site parking presented a considerable inconvenience from the get-go. Carmel is a charming town, but like many quaint destinations, it struggles with limited public parking options. Guests staying at this hotel should prepare to spend a good amount of time hunting for a parking spot, which is not the ideal start to a relaxing getaway. Moreover, my hopes for a peaceful weekend retreat were dashed early on Sunday morning. Despite the anticipation of sleeping in and enjoying the serene environment that Carmel is known for, I was rudely awakened at 5 AM by the sounds of ongoing renovations. The loud noises of construction work, including hammering and drilling, were incredibly disruptive. While I understand the need for periodic updates and maintenance, the early timing, especially on a Sunday, seemed inconsiderate and poorly planned. While the hotel itself boasts some redeeming qualities such as its prime location and potentially charming amenities, these were overshadowed by the parking difficulties and the early morning disturbances. I had looked forward to a tranquil stay, exploring the picturesque surroundings and enjoying undisturbed rest, which unfortunately was not the case.

It should be rated a 2star. Old rooms with dirty lamp shades, internet and tv down, no elevator, bed made noise everytime you moved, smelly room. So overpriced for the value. The staff were all very nice.

This was the second time we stayed at this hotel and first time (October 2023) was phenomenal. This time (January 2024), not so great. Our reservation wasn’t in the system; the staff was not in a hurry; front desk person just left us standing there. Finally it was found and we got a tiny room in desperate need of a face lift. Later on we got kicked out of the lobby for having a glass of wine. Too bad really. Different hotel next time.

Lost our reservations, was assigned a room outside the main building with narrow steep staircase. Room furniture inside was old interior, poor lighting in all of the rooms. Very disappointed.

There are some house keeping issues Pine Inn may want to check into:1) The toilet does not flush well. You need to keep your hand on the handle in order to completely flush. 2) Room is too hot even the heating system is set at 0 or1. We had to keep the windows open to cool down the room. One of the windows does not stay up/open. Maybe this is the reason the "exit door" around the corner in the hallway is always open to keep the temperature in the hallway cool. 3)There is a horizontal black pipe hooked to the radiator that runs into the floor. It creates loud banging noise from time to time. Our room is above the restaurant's kitchen. We hear the noise bringing the trash out to the dumpster and being pick up by the garbage truck starting at 7:43 am. We can also hear every motorcycle and car driving by and evert conversation by people walking by. This is the second time we stayed at the Pine Inn. We stayed in a newer room and had no noise and no maintenance issues. The staff are very nice. We hope our comments will help the hotel and the future patrons.

This is a good hotel. Excellent on sight restaurant. It's an older hotel but very well maintained. No major complaints other than room was small. Very quiet. No coffee maker in room and you have to walk across the street to the bakery which is no big deal. Unless you absolutely need coffee first thing in the morning due to your caffeine fixation. Anyway. I recommend.

While the Hotel was built in the 1890's, it has plenty of room, clean, and large comfortable bed. T he ocean view is absolutely magnificent. The hotel staff is cheerful, professional as well as courteous.

There was no parking available and the surrounding area was very busy. I asked the staff if they could offer a discount based on the fact that we had to pay for parking elsewhere and was shot down because “I had booked through a 3rd party.” I didn’t realize that people who use a site like Hotels.com get different treatment. Overview, nice, quiet hotel with a lot of history. Walkable to everything, parking was the only challenge

I liked the location near the beach and shopping, very walkable. I did not like the lack of parking on friday and Saturday night. I did not enjoy the antique/ old/ creaky floors, stairs, bed. I did not like the lack of coffee in room or in lobby. The red lobby with fireplace was perfect for reading a book and warming up.

Great location. Nice staff. Okay, the building is old and the walls are thin. But at the prices they charge, they could/should replace 1/3 of the carpets, do some in-room touch-up painting, and have in-room coffee machines or at least free coffee in the lobby. Felt ripped off and for very petty stuff.

The Pine Inn has a lot of interesting history. The lobby is decorated in a Victorian style and is charming. Our room could use updating. Unfortunately, this hotel doesn’t have a coffee bar and you’re not allowed to drink wine in the common areas, which would have been nice to be able to sit by the fire and enjoy a glass.

The Pine Inn location is wonderful and the staff is SO nice. The lobby is a time trip, but fun and I enjoyed ending my evening by the fireplace reading. The rooms are very tired. Even though there are some touches of updates (charging unit that has USB ports, key card entry), it still shows it's age. Lots of scuff marks, noticeable wear and tear, but clean. The bathroom was clean and nice, but the rain showerhead has very little pressure - I would never have been able to thoroughly rinse my hair in the drizzle; I had to use the bathtub nozzle. Unfortunately my bed was really uncomfortable. The mattress was quite lumpy. If I was here for pleasure rather than work and had to pay out of my pocket, I would have been very disappointed.

Loved our 2 queen room on the upper floor From a little seating area outside of our room, you could see the sun set over the Pacific. We were traveling with our teens and it was spacious enough for both of us. Nice staff! Loved the Andes mints on our pillows. Only complaints - there's not enough parking for every room, we arrived around 5pm and had to find street parking and then move our car according to the parking restrictions. Also, loud trucks (sounded like garbage trucks) rumbled down the street right below our room around 7-8am on a Sunday morning.

Very old hotel…well preserved and maintained. VERY CLEAN. Rooms are small and no elevator on property (that we found). Parking is a major issues as the have 1/4 of the parking spots in their lot as they do rooms. Staff was friendly and hotel is definitely a local icon, but not for everyone.

We really enjoyed staying at Pine Inn for the unique experience it offers! Some people may be out of place in this historical and beautiful Spanish turn of the century Inn which was built in 1889. We felt right at home and would definitely return in the future! The only thing which made our stay difficult, is that I am disabled and there are no elevators. Our room with a beautiful Carmel by the Sea view, was difficult to access and traverse the stairs with luggage. My husband struggled witht he stairs as well and next time would request a room on the lower floors. The restaurant, Il Fornaio, as a gem and the food was delectable! Pine Inn is right in the middle of the CArmel Strip and adjacent to all shopping adventures as well as restauratns and easy, close access to the beach! I want to point out, Gilbert at the Front Desk was absolutley amazing in meeting all of our needs, answering all of our questions and making our stay as special as possible! Professional, courteous and very personable! Overall the stay at Pine Inn was exceptional and we would definitely return and recommend to our friends and family!
