    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I loved the campground site. There is a beautiful river around the campgrounds which we were able to hear running while at our campsite. I love the dim lighting at night, we were provided free firewood for the first night and you can purchase another set for $10 which was cheaper than the nearby stores. The staff was exceptional and very kind. One of them provided us with an entire itinerary that was amazing. Only issue was the futon bed was not that comfortable but it was tolerable

    The premises are amazing, the true star of the stay. Amidst a beautiful forest with giant trees. The walks around the camping grounds and to the restaurant are beautiful. Just take the car out of the driveway and your nearby all the main sights of Big Sur, Pfeiffer beach, Big Sur Bakery, hiking spots etc.

    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.

    Rooms are spacious and comfortable. We had one with a great fireplace and it’s worth the extra $$$ in cooler weather. Location is great for exploring Big Sur. The breakfast sandwich we purchased at cafe was good.

    Location is amazing. It’s nestled within the trees so it’s very beautiful. It’s really close to hiking trails and that made it convenient. plus, you can’t go wrong with all that Big Sur has to offer.

    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.
