The front desk check in process was terrible. Our reservation was lost and Jason at the front desk was combative, insulting and stated "you don't have to stay here". This was our anniversary weekend and my daughters birthday. We had reserved 2 rooms. I have never been so upset and wished that someone could be fired as much as I wish Jason could be as a result of his unprofessional behavior! It has taken me this long to get over the experience to write this review. Prior to this experience we always stayed at the Pine Inn.

Jetted tub was nice, beds were cozy and warm. Walls are a bit thin, and bathroom needs to vent.

A charming little hotel. Absolutely wonderful service. You could see the age in some parts, but it was still lovely. The lobby is a beautiful time capsule. Anything we needed we got within minutes.

Challenging...not recommended...old place, heat doesn't work, loud, vibrating noise from restaurant that will not answer calls for roomservice. Toilet a trust fall as it's so low then watch out for protuding tp dispenser! Bathroom door pops open on its own hitting you in the knees and exposing you to your roommate. Ugh. Restaurant service in person terrible. Naturally, parking in Carmel Challenging but noise from north facing rooms get restaurant and trash major noises. Not worth it at all.

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.

Although it’s located in a great location, the parking lot is across the street, so with levels and stairs, makes it not friendly for people with limited mobility. Housekeepers were sweet and kind. Wish I could say the same for front desk.

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.
