This is a nice place to stay. Conveniently located near all the shops and restaurants. The only drawback was we couldn’t drink our wine in the sitting room by the lobby. I am not sure why as it’s the perfect location to socialize with friends & family.

A Wonderful Inn
The Pine Inn at Carmel-by-the-Sea was a wonderful experience. We had a clean and comfortable room with views to the beach. The Inn has everything to offer, great dining and shops to enjoy.

Comfortable but not excellent
The bed was fairly comfortable, but room was somewhat stuffy. Radiator heat was off, but room still seemed warm. Also, walls are thinner than I would expect and you could hear neighbors in the early hours. Lobby is charmingly decorated in turn of the century style.

Not amazing.
Not the best. Location was amazing...room was clean. I recieved an upgrade upon check in but the room was not what i would have booked. The room was NEXT to the restaurant entrance for the hotel so i was unable to open the blinds without people looking thru my window. Room was beautiful but old and very dark. Spa bathtub was a nice surprise though. Restaurant noise and the scent of marajuana was annoying. I tried to have dinner on the rooftop but was denied a menu due to a wedding. Beautiful property, i might give them a second chance sometime

I enjoy the atmosphere, the antique furniture setting in the lobby. The fireplace area is great to have a nice conversation, read a book. I feel at home.
