Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We arrived late for check in so our keys were left taped to our door which was fine. The cabin was clean. The beds and pillows weren't great. What disappointed us the most was the lack of knowledge and help available to find the sights. I was told several times just look for the trail head... or I don't know, you'll have to go back to the lodge... Which we did and there was zero help there either. One important thing to know is the wifi doesn't work there so make sure you download any and all maps of areas you want to see. We never found the trail head to the waterfall and the beach was overcrowded so we didn't get to see it either... Eventually, we just decided to move on to our next destination. We did enjoy the River Inn Restaurant located down the road from Big Sur Lodge.

Great central location in Big Sur

Stayed in a lovely attached cabin with a small balcony out to a redwood forest. The hotel is located right at the entrance of Officer Big Sur State park and includes an entrance pass to local state parks for the length of your stay. There were multiple hiking trails and points of interest on the property.

The location of this property and outdoor scenery was amazing. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. However, for the expensive price tag, I figured the room wouldn’t have been so worn down with broken window screens (it didn’t look like the pictures at all). Also, our place happened to have the smell of a dead animal from inside one of the walls. I get that it’s in the middle of the woods, but for how much the place cost (>$300/night), I figured they could afford to take better care of the place.

We loved our stay at Big Sur Lodge. The property was so peaceful and beautiful. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. It was an older property but well maintained. The bathroom was a little dated but it was clean. We would definitely stay here again.

This is IN the state park. It feels like being at camp amongst the redwoods. For T-Mobile, cell signal is mostly miss. I also had trouble getting the wifi to work except in the main building where we check in. There is a restaurant offering all meals. There is a mini-fridge and hot water pot with coffee "tea" bags. The room is spacious and has a balcony looking into the forest. There's a swimming pool. Yes, I would stay here again.
