My friends and I enjoyed this property immensely as part of our getaway to Big Sur. Comfortable beds and room, friendly staff, delicious restaurant & coffee shop, warm fireplace in the lobby and restaurant, great gift shop and a perfect location. We hiked the nearby trails in the beautiful redwoods that were spectacular. Parking is easy. It's a beautiful, comfortable, fantastic lodge! Thanks to the superb and friendly staff for making us feel so welcomed and happy here. We can't wait to come back and stay again.

Great location, the only downside was the extremely noisy heater/dehumidifier thing right by the bed.

Run down and thin walls
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.
