Parking was located across the street, but was decent. If you're on this, second or third floor there is no elevators. The building is really very cool. Great restaurant attached to it. Walking distance to everything in downtown.

We love the Pine Inn! It has historic charm and coziness especially during the holidays. We have stayed here a few times and they never disappoint! Only thing we miss is a small coffee pot in the rooms so we could make a small coffee before heading out for breakfast.

Hotel has lots of character, room was great, clean, the bed was easily the most comfortable of all the hotels we stayed at on our 2 week roadtrip. Location was an easy walk to the beach and in the core area with the shops.

6/10 Location amazing. However the rooms need updating, mold in the bathroom specifically the shower head (easy fix) and the ceiling. The finishing in the tub was also peeling which was gross. There are not many hotel in Carmel with AC so beware! This one did not have AC but we got the room with the ocean view and it was amazing! You can ditch your car and just roam the streets excellent location. Staff was very attentive and friendly. The ambiance of the hotel was also very nice and regal. The bathroom was just such a turn off.

We had a great stay at the Pine Inn. The location is perfect, very central and within walking distance to everything. The staff were extremely nice and helpful, and the hotel itself is very cute. Our room was quite small, but we didn’t mind it at all. Overall, a wonderful stay and we’d happily come back!

Great location and friendly staff. Have stayed here a few times over the years. Rooms are nicely decorated and sized as typical for an Inn in Carmel. Parking available which is a plus. Location puts you on the main shopping road and a short walk down to the beach entry.
