The ambience of the Lodge was warm and inviting as it was nestled among the Redwoods with wonderful trails in a beautiful setting. The room was large with everything needed and a small balcony. The dining room had delicious food and very friendly, responsive staff.

Lovely Lodge

We really enjoyed our time staying at the lodge. The location was amazing with so many trails leading from there. The coffee shop was really convenient and the restaurant pretty good. Our cottage had plenty of room for the two of us and nice accommodations. The bed was really soft. Would highly recommend staying here.

The restaurant inside Big Sur Lodge was really not very tasty. The French fries were too wet with oil and the onion fries were all melted. And the hamburger patties was smelly. Too expensive for the tasteless food. And the website said the Wi-Fi worked, but it never did. So, you had to go to the office or conference room, and if an employee was using it, you had to wait a long time to use it. Except for the kitchen unit, there isn't even a microwave. The refrigerator is too small to store food, so it can only accommodate drinks. A large family would have to pay more than $50 per person for each meal. I would never recommend this place to my friends.

Lobby facilities great room poor and uncomfortable

We understand a lodge would be more basic than a modern hotel room, but with no sound proofing at all, so kids and dogs disturbed us most of the time. The very old heaters that bang so loud as the heat up or cool down than my wife jumped up in bed. Also we had the last cabin in the block with 1 bar WiFi and it just did not work. The Lobby and restaurant were lovely and had good internet. We had coffee and eat dinner there.
