Top Big Sur Hotel Reviews

Bay Breeze Inn

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Staff were great"

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Bang on, èeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Right on the beach! Amazing toiletries. Bi Sur After Rain is a great body wash. Great aesthetics"

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We love the keyless entry to the room. Super roomie and big rooms. Very clean. Fully stocked. How’s the microwave refrigerator. The text to the front desk or to the hotel is awesome. They respond right away. The indoor pool and hot tub is a plus. There’s always towels ready by the pool area. Which is very helpful. They have a great coffee machine in the lobby. Love how we can just text them instead of call them for any questions and again we really love the keyless entry to the room. We did not have to check in at the lobby because we did it all online and we’re not notified when the room was ready via text. We did stay here a few years ago but this time around it’s fully renovated and definitely a 10 out of 10 would stay here again in the future."

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"This is an old hotel but it was very clean and rooms had been updated. Staff at checkin were very friendly. Hotel was easy walking distance to a variety of restaurants. Not a lot of on site parking available so if you were running late, you might have to park on the street."

Lucia Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome property with views to die for. Very quiet and the rooms were nicely appointed. Only thing is food is either 30 mins North or 40 mins south. Luckily, there is a taco truck across the street that is delicious! Definitely 10/10. We would definitely return again! Thank you Lucia Lodge! 😊"

Sand Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent
