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.

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
