Wonderful stay
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tally Ho Inn at Carmel by the Sea and would stay again when visiting Carmel.

The property was very quiet and the rooms were very comfortable and spacious. The customer service was great. Rooms were very clean. We loved all the amenities such as the jet tub, fireplace, and patio giving us ocean view. Cost was very reasonable with ocean view.

The staff was very friendly. We especially appreciated the guaranteed parking space per guest. There was easy access walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants in town. We liked the adjacent property IL FORNAIO with $25 food voucher each morning for breakfast for those staying at the Tally Ho Inn.

We are already planning a return trip, it was that good.
Pros:

We had an amazing view of the ocean from our room and deck. Every morning I would walk to the little coffee shop around the corner and come back and watch the sun come up while listening to the ocean.

Cons:

There wasn't a coffee maker in the room. The pillows were very hard, but the mattress was comfortable. There was a sign above the jacuzzi tub stating to only use bath salts, but none were provided.
