My wife and I stayed at the Pine Inn last weekend and had a wonderful time. It was a special day and place because it was our 40th wedding anniversary, and 42 years ago we became engaged here. The hotel retains all the charm it had way back when - fireplaces galore, overstuffed red velvet chairs in a clubby environment, and the most perfect staff one could ask for. The hotel is right on Ocean avenue in the middle of town which is convenient as Carmel is a walking town. The town was fairly boisterous on this particular Saturday, but quieted down to absolute silence about 9:00 PM. Funny - there were a zillion teenagers in town that day. Why would teens flock to a staid village like Carmel? Anyway, they were no trouble and quieted down later. Back in our room after dinner we opened the window and listened to the surf crashing on the nearby shore. This was a fine way to end the day.

We've stayed at the Pine Inn twice in the past few years, most recently for a one night stay during Easter weekend 2024. Each time has been lovely. The staff is friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about the local dining options and attractions. The location is great - it's one of the closest properties to the beach (about five blocks downhill on the way there so be prepared for the walk back uphill after a day in the sun). The only negative I can think of is that guests are not permitted to consume food or beverages in the lobby which is a shame given the comfortable setting with fireplace.

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!

Overall this is a wonderful cute boutique hotel with excellent customer service and complimentary guest parking. It's located in the heart of the shopping area and also a short walk to the beach. The rooms are very small, maybe 350sqft, but the beds are super comfy. The shower/tub is a bit outdated, but stronger water pressure and lots of hot water! The cafe next to the lobby actually has really good coffee! I would definitely stay here again, especially for a weekend getaway!

We've stayed here a couple of times and was very pleased. We especially enjoyed the ground level room that opened off the big porch that also leads to the restaurant. The charm began a the Dutch-style door as we entered. Location is excellent-town center. If we make it to Carmel again, we will seek out the Pine Inn for lodging.

This place does not look like much from the outside, but boy is it fancy on the inside! It was the fanciest hotel in town 100 years ago, and they kept it exactly the way it was 100 years ago. The furniture is all authentic and antique, and the rooms are in that period decor. I was there in early August and temperature in Carmel was 60° F. I know someone else complained about not having a/c, but he really don't need it along the coast. For less than $300 a night, it's a bargain! If you want to step back into time 100 years, spend the night at this place. It is also attached to Il Fornaio restaurant which makes it really convenient to have a great Italian meal.

Great place to stay. It is quirky and every room is different. The customer service is great and Il Fornaio is right downstairs from the hotel.

You come and stay here for the boutique ambiance and location. Its historical decor is maintained. On Ocean Blvd and great location to site see Carmel. No elevators. Slight musty smell but very clean and comfortable. Worth it
