Pine Inn

Pine Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect Carmel by the sea location. Shopping great and right outside your doorstep. Secondly, Il Fornaio restaurant on sight, and also great cafe in lobby with warm wood interior, and a fireplace. Restaurant ROOM SERVICE😋😋 Staff is attentive, professional and efficient . Bell service from private parking lot next to hotel, another reason why I chose this place. I felt safe. Location close to all you want to experience in Carmel by the sea. 17-mile drive, Point Lobos hike and view, Carmel Valley Road wine tasting, Monterey history and restaurants."
