There were some cobwebs in the corner of my room and on the ceiling. The fan also was dirty on the bottom, as it had not been cleaned in a long time. At night it is very dark, not too much lighting outside, but parking is easy. The room is spacious and the small deck is convenient.

Big Sur Splendor

We hit the jackpot finding this hotel in Big Sur. Nestled in a state park the Big Sur Lodge is the perfect place to hike and take in nature. From the lobby we were able to hike some amazing trails which were well marked. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. While there was no television and the WIFI was spotty, I was able to get a strong enough signal from the room. The location could not be more perfect.

Our car broke down, we arrived well after dark. We asked the front desk if they had a jumper cables. She replied no but she could call the ranger. We asked if someone could give us a ride to the cabin. She said no. My wife has a heart condition and was wearing a heart monitor. Soon after while walking up the hill, exhausted, staff drove by us in a golf cart. They didn’t offer to give us a ride.

Felt basically like camping, in both good ways and bad. Beautiful view of the stars, nice walking trails, even wildlife (turkeys!). However, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, the heater clanged all night, and the toilet was comically small. I would have no complaints if we did not pay $200 per night. Given that price, I would expect a good night’s sleep at the very least.
