Tally Ho Inn

Unfortunately, we have to downgrade this place because of the experience we had. Specifically Wen woke up in the morning after our first night, there were hundreds, if not, thousands of ants crawling on the bathroom floor. No doubt they were driven into the room by all the recent rains. When we brought it to the attention of the person at the desk first thing in the morning when they open, they said all they could do was spray. Of course, we did not want to stay another night in a room that had just been sprayed for ants. While the first staff person was perfectly nice, there was no apology and no offer for any other form of compensation such as a reduced rate for a $500 a night room, or use of another room for a second night as they did not look fully booked. So we chose to leave and not use our second night. There are many nice things about this place, but we feel they should've offered to reduce the price of the room or some form of compensation for our experience.

The room was clean, spacious and had a nice patio with a view of the ocean. The hotel is conveniently located midtown between the beach and the shopping plaza. On site parking was also convenient.

Small (12 rooms), quaint older hotel with a great location just steps from downtown Carmel-by-the-sea and short walk to the beach. A little bit dated but adds to the charm, in my opinion. Coffee available in the office but no breakfast which seems to be the norm in many of the hotels in the area. They have free parking available. Would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed the convenient location, the comfortable room, the seaviews from our room, the included onsite self-parking, and the pleasant staff. We experienced some difficulty using the tv remote, but a staff person was able to re-sync it with the television, and then it worked fine. The bed was very comfortable, but the bed pillows less so. The bath towels were rough, and the inn provides poor quality one-ply toilet paper. If driving yourself to the inn, please remember to bring your own bath towels and bed pillows and toilet paper. I think you will have a great stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

My wife and I stayed in this hotel for a couple of nights to celebrate our annyvecessary. The check in was very fast and the lady who helped us was friendly.

check in. When we went to check in the office was closed. Another hotel guest told us to go across the street to check in. If she would have not been there we wouldn't have known what to do. Someone called us and told us that 2 people called in sick. The manager should have been there to come in to cover that hotel. Completely blown away at lack of service.

Convenience to downtown. Every room had a deck. Fire place in room and fire pit outside were all nice amenities.
