Everything was great except the heater was really noisy when it clicked on and off. We realized we were better off heating the room and then turning it off to sleep. Which wouldn't have worked if it was really cold all night.

Extremely poor customer service.
We stayed one night. The hotel was prepaid and booked on Hotels.com. But, we were charged again but the hotel for the room. Three calls to the hotel later and still no return call from the manager regarding the over charge. Very dissatisfied!

Visit Big Sur but don’t stay in Big Sur
The BigSur Lodge is not a hotel but a collection of connected cabins which are outdated. The heater was not able to heat the cabin. There is only WiFi in the “conference center” which is run down, lacking proper seating. A poor experience

Loved location but lack of wifi in rooms or main lodge was disappointing. Wifi is dismal convention room was ridiculous. Old soap bar left in our shower, heater made loud clicking and popping noises all night and half the vertical slats on bathroom window were missing. Property well maintained though and trails super close.

The check in woman was a bit grumpy and short. The room was nice but the bathroom could use some upgrade and the pillows are lumpy. Not everyone likes Earl Grey tea. Very perfumy. A plain black tea like English breakfast would be a better choice for all tastes. But the real mugs were a nice touch. Dinner was very nice and waitress very pleasant.

Comfortable and spacious rooms. These are old cabins but they are clean and have the usual in-room amenities: coffee, fridge, charging ports, etc. The entire point of being in Big Sur on this trip was to be out and about reveling in the beauty of the place so this lodging was perfect for us. Loved not having a TV and less than excellent connectivity while here. Very nice to unplug.
