I really enjoyed that your reservation includes admission to 3 parks locally - that is part of the reason why I wanted to stay at the Big Sur Lodge. Looking forward to returning to the Lodge sooner than later!

Overall, I would not recommend this property. Customer service was terrible! We were told the restaurant had limited hours, nobody said you can only get carry out...the entire time. 2 workers in the coffee area were working restaurant orders and the bar, good luck getting anything. They would continuously walk away while there was a line. At check in, she was less than helpful. The room itself is probably what you should expect. The shower had mold/mildew through out. Certainly not worth the premium fee I paid to stay. I would not recommend.

Definitely felt like a camp ground rather than hotel. Room smelled moldy. I didn’t realize because I booked late and online. Staff seemed to feel they were doing me a favor rather than there to serve. Not worth the money.

Cozy room but room’s carpet needs to be updated. Everything else was comfortable for a lodge. Check in was only at 4 pm and we waited 45 minutes to check in. They need more staff during that time.

Our cabin was very peaceful and comfortable and we appreciated the beautiful location in the forest and easy access to the state park hiking trails. On the day of our visit the lodge cafe was only doing takeaway service due to staff shortage and we felt the quality and quantity of food was not worth the price charged. Otherwise would not hesitate to recommend Big Sur Lodge

We loved our stay at Big Sur Lodge! The access to the state park was amazing and staying in the redwoods but inside in a comfy bed was the way to go. So many trails right outside the door! If I had one critique it would be their showers need updating. They are old and dingy and even the shower curtain is coming apart and gross and the shower head was inadequate for pressure - sort of like a camping shower but should at least be a bit upgraded for the cost of the rooms. Otherwise a good experience!

Location incredible. Lodge very spacious. The property in general is very nice and is rustic in a nice way. Lodges could do with minor upgrading. Paint and carpeting.

Pros: It’s in the Pfeiffer Big Sur state park, so it’s quiet and basically you are in the redwoods forest. People who work in the lodge are very kind and friendly. Also It’s a dog friendly lodge. Cons: the facility is very old. Needs a good upgrade. Because we had a dog, I assume that our room was dog friendly room, and it smelled like pee, that was unpleasant. There is only one trail that dogs are allowed around the lodge which is only about half miles.
