Lifestyle/Travel Features




Carmel is among the country's most popular small-city destinations. Quaint restaurants, art galleries, boutique shops, unique homes, international conferences and famous golf courses are all backdropped by the Pacific Ocean.

So, while a visit to Carmel is a good choice for myriad reasons, it does present a dilemma: Where's the best place to stay? Logical choices, of course, vary depending on your reason for visiting the Monterey Peninsula — business to budget travel, a romantic getaway to golf. Carmel is not an inexpensive destination, but one location that provides a good cross-section of accommodations needs is Carmel Lodge.

Visiting Carmel-By-The-Sea for the first time or as a frequented destination affords a good dose of sensory overload. Art galleries, restaurants, unique homes and businesses and myriad recreation choices are all canvassed by the majesty of the Pacific Ocean.

And there's the potential problem. Like other popular Monterey Peninsula cities, with so much to see and do while visiting Carmel, where's the best place to stay?

It's not an easy choice, particularly considering that within a one-mile radius of downtown Carmel, there are more than 60 accommodation options that combined feature more than 1,000 rooms.

The unassuming Tally Ho Inn is among the most convenient, well-appointed, historic and quaint options.
