What Guests Said About Big Sur:

This place is a total scam.
This place is a total scam. When you book through other websites, they do not notify you that the road is closed at half an hour from the hotel. My wife and I took a total of six paid days off of work, drove 300 miles, and then we were turned away 30 minutes from the hotel. When calling the lady wanted us to take a 150 mile detour to get to the hotel. We ended up, scrambling and trying to figure out what to do, spending a lot of money on a last-minute hotel and ruined our entire vacation. They seem perfectly happy taking peoples money, knowing perfectly well they can’t get there. The least they could do is make a courtesy phone call if somebody is booking outside of their website or some kind of notification. Screw this business and the lack of compassion and empathy when asking for a refund was inhumane. You not only took my money but you ruined an entire vacation. Screw all of you guys.AAnonymous - 10Scored 10
The Valley is stunning and our favourite place in the US.
The Valley is stunning and our favourite place in the US. The drive there is magical and the scenery and walks are amazing. Avoid the overpriced tourist traps and spend some time getting into the wild.MilesUnited Kingdom - 2.0Scored 2.0

There are several rooms across the highway 1 from the main facility. We were given one of there rooms. It was not was not disclosed to us ahead of time that we would have to walk across a busy highway. I am handicaped. Make sure you are not booked for one of these rooms since there is no crosswalk, sign to watch out for pedestrians or flashing light. Very dangerous! The facility was full so we could not be moved so we had to drive another 4 hours to find a place to stay for the night. The website for Big Sur River Lodge doesn't show these rooms on their main page. It looks like all rooms are near the restaurant, pool, store and river relaxation area. It is very decieving.

The Big Sur coastline is the most beautiful part of the California coastline! The windy drive is a little nerve racking, but the rugged beauty and the amazing turquoise blue color of the ocean are a feast for the eyes. The people in Big Sur are also very nice. Everyone needs to see Big Sur at least once in their lifetime. McWay Falls is breathtaking! Must have lunch or dinner at Nepenthe! The food is great and the location is magical.MaiUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
The place is located at state park with options for trails.
The place is located at state park with options for trails. There was no breakfast so that's somewhat inconvenient. The room itself as a nice fireplace, a hot tub in the terrace and a comfortable bed. But the shower is tiny.TamiIsrael - 8.0Scored 8.0

We liked Big Sur Lodge, the scenery along Hwy. 1, and the walk to to Pfeiffer waterfall in the Park 13 miles south. It's fairly easy to get around if the drive does not intimidate you. But the shortage of park rangers makes it difficult to find certain trails & info. We liked eating and sitting at the River Inn. Forget going to Point Lobos. It is so crowded you can't park near the main hiking trail, and you may, in fact, not be able to park there at all. Sadly, Big Sur is becoming too popular and crowded on holidays or in the summer. Go there at the other times.saraUnited States of America

- 7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 607 reviewsLarge and nicely decorated room. Proper glass cups in the room rather than plastic as we've had nearly everywhere else in the USA - good for the environment! Staff very friendly, especially the waitress for dinner who was great and super LGBT+ friendly! Great location close to the sights of Big Sur and has it's own trial up to the top of the mountain through the red woods.MarkUnited Kingdom

We had a delicious drink at the bar and chatted with the staff a bit. Had a nice walk thru the surrounding area and had dinner there that night.
