Boutique Inn with Ocean Views and Free Parking in Carmel-by-the-Sea
Amenities
Tally Ho Inn offers free underground parking for each guest, a rarity in Carmel where street parking is difficult. The outdoor firepit and intimate courtyard provide a spot for evening relaxation with complimentary brandy served daily. Heated bathroom floors and whirlpool tubs are available in select rooms, adding a layer of comfort after a day of exploring.
Rooms
Many rooms at Tally Ho Inn feature stunning ocean views from private decks, with some suites offering spacious seating areas and gas fireplaces. The premium oceanview rooms include a jetted tub for two, a separate shower, and a king-sized bed with high ceilings. Each room is outfitted with a large LCD TV, a sofa bed, and a small refrigerator for guest convenience.
Dining
Guests receive a complimentary breakfast voucher for Il Fornaio, an Italian restaurant across the street that also offers room service and a sun terrace. Afternoon snacks and coffee are provided in the lobby daily, while complimentary brandy is served in the courtyard during evening hours. The affiliated restaurant serves fine Italian cuisine within walking distance, with a menu that includes pasta, seafood, and wood-fired pizzas.
Location
Tally Ho Inn sits just 500 meters from Carmel Beach, a 5-minute walk to the white sands and crashing waves. The hotel is within walking distance of downtown shops, art galleries, and restaurants, making it easy to explore without a car. Nearby attractions include Point Lobos State Reserve for hiking and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a 15-minute drive away.
Guest Services
The hotel provides a 24-hour front desk with staff who can help with luggage storage, laundry, and dry cleaning. Check-in takes place at Pine Inn across the street, but guests receive a personal walk to their room upon arrival. Daily housekeeping is prompt, and the property offers a safety deposit box for valuables.
