The room was quiet, spacious, and very clean. The cabins are far enough from the highway that you don't hear traffic noise. Sitting on my balcony, I felt like I had the whole redwood forest to myself. Loved that there was no television set mounted on the wall. I did not use the fireplace, but it was gorgeous. The bed was just awesome.

    The room was gorgeous, as I remembered from previous stays and that is all I can say about our use of the facilities because it rained both days and so the park and hotel staff closed all the trails and the beaches as well. The restaurant was empty as were the cabins and rooms. It was dead.

    We stayed at the roadside motel. Our room had two separate queen beds. The room was cozy and warm with hot water, which were welcome for our winter stay. It was located inside Big Sur, so there were only a few lodging options available. The price was adequate considering the location.

    The location is amazing, in the middle of Pfeiffer State Park, so you can take some hikes from the door. The lodge has a nice cafe. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

    Location brilliant, different levels of trek right on the doorstep. Loved the decked area at back of lodge to sit out on and just chill. Pool fantastic. Great shop with all the bits you might need and some great clothes and souvenirs. Pitch black at night and a clear star filled sky. Beautiful. The amazing trees are wonderful. Firewood delivered daily.

    Big Sur Lodge was great, the pool was perfect on a hot day, the room was big and the log fire, even though we didn't need it, was really nice. The location is great for exploring.

    It was an adorable, old fashioned motel. The staff was nice. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. We appreciated having three beds, as we were traveling with our two kids.

    Nice place, stunning scenery, the motel was ok, the gas fire was a bonus because it was really chilly and you needed the fire on all the time
