We arrived late on a Saturday night, we had dinner in Monterey. I called to make sure that someone would be there with our key..they just said to come to the restaurant and check in there. When we arrived, an envelope with our last name was tacked to the restaurant door. For $200 a night, it wasn’t spectacular but it... more

I read several of the reviews about the Big Sur River Inn before deciding to make a reservation for a one night stay. There aren't that many hotel options in the area and, I figured, how bad could it be for one night? So, we went without high expectations. We had a room across the road from the main inn.... more

We stayed at the Big Sur River Inn for one night in May. We were driving down PCHWY 1 and it started getting dark. We stopped at Big Sur River Inn and thought it looked like a nice place. The room was average, but just what we needed for the night. Their restaurant was very cosy and the sweet potato... more

I stayed two nights there with my spouse and pre-teen child in the middle of the week. We first tried to book at Deetjen's but they seemed very reluctant to have a kid staying there and had no rooms large enough for 3. At BSR inn, we had a large double room with comfortable clean beds and linens, an updated... more

We spent a fabulous night in one of the suites overlooking the river. For those looking for tv and lots of modern activity, this is not the place. It is for those who will love the serenity, a beautiful river where you can sit in sturdy bentwood chairs in the river or alongside it, surrounded by redwoods and beautiful scenery.... more

My wife booked a Wednesday night with this hotel a week and a half before. I sat next to my wife when she booked by phone and confirmed that we would be there on a Wednesday. The Tuesday before the night we were to stay my wife called by cell phone to ask for directions as there is no address... more

Unfortunately, we were misled by the name and website. The motel is right on the highway. Cars pass by continuously and only 30 feet from your door. The rooms are depressing. The sheets and bedspread were stained. When we opened the door to the room we were greeted with the smell of Pine Sol and mold. The room had absolutely... more

I stayed in this hotel for one night in early June. The room was very clean, but definitely not worth the money they charged for it. The staff was nice and the Inn's Restaurant was very good. I love Big Sur and we basically just needed a place to sleep for the night, but next time I visit, I will... more

Never, Never, NEVER stay here!!! We phoned the inn on our way to Big Sur to see if there was any availability. We asked many questions about the accommodations to be sure we understood what to expect upon our arrival. We were misled by the Big Sur River Inn staff. When we got there, we were completely surprised by the... more
