Big Sur Lodge
There was no a/c available. No t.v. available. The parking spaces were to small with limited space to open car doors. There was mold in the shower. The staff weren't that pleasant especially at the store. It seemed like they were bothered to help you.

Post Ranch Inn

Lucia Lodge
Everything is good; fantastic view. The only thing is that the address on the map is the closed restaurant. It took us 15 minutes in the dark to find out the location (which is very close to the address on the map but in the dark it’s really hard to see)

Big Sur-Style Lodge in Carmel - PANORAMIC VIEWS! Hot-Tub, Game Room/Pool & Dogs
Pictures don’t do this place justice. It has everything you would need and then some. The downstairs game room was so nice to have since I have multiple teenage boys.
