Cons: Breakfast was not served until late (coffee at 8:15, food at 8:30). The room I was in (#6, I think) was stuffy and dark, and it was hard to get fresh air because the windows didn't open. No chairs to sit in. Room was expensive. Parking on street.

Secluded and tranquil, the Tally Ho Inn offers a true English countryside atmosphere. Indulge in the luxury of serenity and romance with as much pampering as you like. Only half a block from the heart of Carmel, the Tally Ho is an idyllic retreat of flowers, gardens, fireplaces and a soothing view of the ocean. Take a short picturesque stroll to Carmel's famous white sandy beach and revel in the fabulous views of the Pacific Ocean, Pebble Beach and Point Lobos. Flower-filled decks, patios and views create a natural setting that promises to refresh and relax. Combine nature with elegance and let us serve you a fabulous meal on Tally Ho's peaceful deck while you enjoy the warmth of the outdoor fireplace.

Pros: We loved the spaciousness of the rooms at the Tally Ho Inn, as well as the amazing ocean views. I'm not sure if any room has a bad view at this hotel. It's a very well done renovation of a former typical 50s motel into something much nicer - moving parking underground and creating a central fireplace patio. The location cannot be beat for Carmel. The beds were enormous and very comfortable. Loved the fireplaces and the giant TVs mounted above. Breakfast each morning was definitely light (continental style) but tasty and much appreciated!

Cons: We could hear a little bit of the TV of our neighbors below. Some rooms' bathrooms are much more recently renovated than others. The beds are perfect, but overall the decor is dated - think 90s splendor with high end antiques, and a light Asian aesthetic. Didn't stop us from enjoying the room but it was noted.

Pros: Breakfast was okay; nothing to write home about. The outdoor area is pleasant.
Cons: Lack of personnel - When I arrived, the front desk was vacant, but for a sign that said, "Will return in 15 minutes". After waiting 20 minutes, i called the number finally someone came. Room very small. Location is NOT "steps from Carmel Beach". It's about 9 blocks from the beach. That description is misleading. Air conditioning was not working, nor was the refrigerator. When checking out, once again, nobody at the front desk.

Cons: I happened to have the same two rooms as last year. However, one of the room has broken heater. I left the control on whole night by turning to the highest temperature, but it never turned on. This actually reminded me that last year my wife complained the room was cold but at that time I was not in the room with broken heater. Hard to believe that it is not fixed for a whole year.

Pros: Breakfast was quiche, croissants, a bowl of fruit (blackberries and raspberries), yogurt and granola. The quality is good and the coffee is excellent. The inn feels very much like visiting someone’s home (in a nice way). The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean and comfy. It is run efficiently and with attention to detail. They are very accommodating, and have no problem letting you use the kitchen facilities. I found the location ideal. It’s located on a quiet street with good access to Carmel’s beautiful beach. It’s a mile walk to town, either along the beach, or on attractive streets with interesting houses to look at. All in all, the place was worth it. I would stay here again on my next visit.

Pros: We were spending the week exploring Carmel and this was a very convenient and clean-looking hotel. We'd read some reviews about the missing cheese hour, etc. and scoffed at people being weird about their missing amenities; generally if a place is clean and pleasant, I don't think there is much else to comment on. But I have to say, it was a sore disappointment that we booked two King rooms for two couples (a deluxe and suite) and in the early, cold November morning, I reached for the bathrobe I'd read so much about (it was constantly in the advertising for the King suites that there are these great thick robes) and saw...there was none. In either King room. So I'm listing the amenities as OK because honestly, it was really chilly in our room and I think that when you book deluxe king suites, they should come with bathrobes if that is advertised everywhere and it's quite chilly. I got ready that morning in my husbands sweater and we left the next day.

Like I said, were pleasantly surprised and will be back!

So I'm listing the amenities as OK because honestly, it was really chilly in our room and I think that when you book deluxe king suites, they should come with bathrobes if that is advertised everywhere and it's quite chilly. I got ready that morning in my husbands sweater and we left the next day.
Cons:
10,0 Excellent
Pros: Beautiful. Clean. Friendly staff! Will come again but ask for a room that isn't close to the road.
Cons: Noise. You can't sleep with the window open due to to the cars on the road. No AC which wouldn't be a problem however noisey road had to close window.
5,7 Okay
Pros: Needed a room in Carmel.
Cons: RIght on busy road. Tiny room. Crappy wifi.
8,5 Excellent
Pros: Wine and cheese between 5-7 pm and homemade hot breakfast.
Cons: Small room, street noise
9,3 Excellent
Pros: We were a little skeptical, but were pleasantly surprised! The staff was great, the room was very nice, the fire pit was fun and the breakfast was above average. Nice extra buffet touches like quiche and croissant egg and sausage sandwiches. Yogurt was in nice glassware and fresh cut up seasonal fruit, versus just bananas and apples and oranges. Like I said, were pleasantly surprised and will be back!
Cons:
9,3 Excellent
Pros: The service from Tom was the best I've ever experienced. He was extremely polite and very friendly. The property is beautiful and very quiet. A nice Romantic setting that is a short 15 min walk to all the shops. Gardens are beautiful and the firepit was a nice bonus.
Cons: Wish they had more wines in our room to choose from.
8,5 Excellent
Pros: We upgraded to a King suite, which was a clean room, though not particularly sizable. Staff was very nice and efficient. It was a quick walk into town, and the grounds of the hotel were lovely.
Cons: There was also no refrigerator in our room, though we thought we saw one in another room. For our room being a suite and upgraded, the lack of the fridge was a little bizarre.

Pros: Everything

5,0 Okay
Pros: The Location was good. An easy walk to lots of boutiques and restaurants.
Cons: The inflexibility when the number in our group reduced and we could not take a smaller room, even for the same price! Also the breakfast was way below expectation. It is not difficult to provide a healthy breakfast, with cereals, fresh milk that is not cream, real coffee ( a nespresso machine would be nice).

Cons: There are many bed & breakfast inns in Carmel. So to compare really, for me it was about the hospitality. Check in was horrible! Lady could not have made me feel more regretful choosing them! She was rude, short, and essentially just handed us the key.
