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.

Great room, we stayed in the fireplace queen suite which was very nice. The only reason why i made it a 4 is because the room lacked in sufficient heat. The main bedroom didn't go above 60 degrees with the heater + fireplace going. Otherwise, a beautiful lodge, the front desk staff were nice, beautiful scenery.

Getaway from Technology
The room was clean yet very outdated. The toom had a fireplace with free fire wood. This is a great way to get away from technology and enjoy the outdoors. This place makes families interact with each other.
