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 The shower/tub is a bit outdated, but stronger water pressure and lots of hot water!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.

Amazing location - right in the heart of everything. Great place to stay. Food, ambience and prices were beyond what I expected. I will be coming back next year (and the year after, etc.)

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

My wife made a reservation a few weeks before we were to arrive in Carmel. Due to an unfortunate circumstance we had to cancel our two nights a few hours after we checked in. Danette was super cool about it and refunded both nights in full. We're excited to stay here on our next trip to Carmel. The bellboy was also on his game and the lobby and bar are to die for!

Honestly, a truly great hotel stay. See my detailed highlights for more, but short version, this hotel: Affordable for the area In arguably a perfect location (walk-able for most of Carmel, quick drive to Monterey Aquarium and to Big Sur). Has a hidden gem of a restaurant literally attached to the lobby. Safe and comfortable rooms, which while small compared to modern hotels, were more than sufficient. We had 2 families, one stayed in a single Queen layout, while the other stayed in the double twin, without issue. Overall, don't overlook this place, you won't be disappointed.

From making my reservation to checking out- excellent experience. I made the reservation months in advance of a family wedding. Danette, Carla and Ariel were polite, professional and friendly each time I called- which was quite a few …
