Great, quiet away from home and subtle retreat. The area is pricey for food, and the lodge hours vary for bfast, lunch and dinner, but they provide coffee in the room. Overall a great experience for Big Sur.

It was 4:00 check in time on a Friday. It took us more than 30 minutes to wait to get our room. Jordan was alone at the desk as the only one checking in the guests. Rooms were not ready at check-in time. He was very busy but kind. There is a lot of information that has to be given to guests (how to get to your lodge, how to access the community areas, how to deal with the park pass, and more). Check in is a long process. The management should have someone else on the desk.
