Big Sur Lodge

有點貴，性價比不高，服務態度不熱情

I read all the reviews so expected a lot of this but was still surprised. The walls are THIN. Seriously thin. I could literally hear everyone’s word for word conversation in the rooms around me. No privacy. Rooms are seriously RUN DOWN. Like I get it’s not a 5-star hotel but chipped paint, dirty coffee makers, smoke stained chimney. Even without the fireplace lit, the whole room smelled like smoke. I felt like with what I spent, there is a minimal level of service and maintenance expected. Customer service was meh. Between the front desk and the restaurant, I had to go find someone to help. And they seemed shocked I could want something. And the food at the restaurant was barely ok. I would definitely not make a trip back just for the food. Big Sur as a destination is great but I don’t see myself coming back to Big Sur Lodge. Next time I’ll try someplace else.

Our cabin was just right, we loved the balcony. Our beds were comfortable, and the shower was delightful.

Fabulous location, great hikes in the redwoods, panoramic views. Rooms are clean, fireplaces well provisioned and staff helpful.

If you want a quiet, off of the map, unplugged, magical experience, this is it. The rooms are not fancy, no Wi-Fi, no TV, no frills. The beds were decently comfortable and we had a fireplace and a small deck to sit on. That being said, the lodge is extremely nice with a fire going and a place to hang out, books to read with comfortable seating, a coffee shop, a restaurant with very friendly service, and a gift shop. There are no words for beauty of the grounds, it’s like being in a fairytale. We will definitely be back!

Stayed here for two nights on our first trip to Big Sur. The location and the surroundings of the property can’t be beat with lots of wooded trails to check out right off of the property which was fantastic. We arrived late (around 8 pm ish I think) on what was probably a busy day which I understand but there was just one other family ahead of us and nobody after us, which is why it felt a little odd that the check-in process felt rushed. Since there was a storm and we were traveling with a toddler, I had a couple of questions. But the kid who checked us in was unnecessarily curt. Okay, whatever! So, I let it be. Anyway, we checked in and got free entry to three local state parks which was nice but as luck would have it, we ended up spending a lot of time in the room because of the rain. The cottages themselves are spacious and feel private with a nice balcony overlooking the trees and a cute skylight. However, everything in there felt dated and definitely needed a good dusting. I agree with one of the previous reviewers who said the walls were paper thin because we could hear every time our neighbor sneezed. Lol! But it was mostly quiet. There is also no wifi and the cellular reception is spotty. The heater in the room rattled all night but kept us warm albeit the dust on it was slightly concerning. All in all, it was a rustic, peaceful stay but I am not sure it justified the $$$ though.

There was so much smoke spot on our chimney. The air was awful to breath inside the units. I have three small children and there was very little ventilation. We asked the front desk if the soot was normal because we felt like we slept in an ash tray.

Liked everything. Read prior reviews and came prepared for cabin style stay with warm clothes and our own entertainment. Room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant had brunch on Sunday that was great. Hiked to Molera beach using the parks pass.

Great location and friendly staff. On the other hand, the heater in the room was too noisy to the point it woke me up at night. It makes sudden loud noises while cooling down.
