I was surprised to read some reviewers when they said that this was good value for money. We paid $200 per night compared with $225 at Beverly Hills Hilton, a five star hotel! This motel is stylish, different and comfortable but not what it should have been for the money. The motel is nestled in the redwood forest and each... more

We arrived in the early evening and were 'greeted' by a none-too-friendly gentleman. We got our keys and I found that the room I'd paid so much for was just next to the office but very cute - with a careful, nice remodel. The only issues outside of the above were that the walls are very thin and we were... more

After 4 days on the road driving down the PCH, this was exactly the type of halfway break we were looking for. Previous reviewers were correct that the reception is a little frosty (don't expect an early check-in!), but it is only frosty for the US and would be perfectly acceptable in Europe. We stayed in Cabin 7 across the... more

Good location, but still has a motel feel when you check in. The rooms are nicely renovated with contemporary styling (especially compared to some of the other motels on offer in this price range). Ours was a standard room and small, with no particular features to get excited about, I'm assuming the larger cabins had more to them. The staff... more

I researched every lodging option in Big Sur in a ton of detail and decided on Glen Oaks based on the TripAdvisor recommendation. We were not disappointed one bit. Very clean, updated rooms. Perfect location for day hikes in the Big Sur. Would definitely stay again. We had a private patio which was great, room #12. more

Glen Oaks is in a fantastic location, the rooms are really really cool, and there's a nice little restaurant diner next door that serves a great breakfast. My only criticism of the place is the welcome we received when we arrived was pretty unpleasant - easily the most grumpy person we met in the whole of our long tour of... more

I stayed at the Glen Oaks for one night with my husband. They did a great job with the renovation of this place. I loved the heated floors in the bathroom. It is a little bit pricey ($250/night) but it really is a wonderful place to stay. Like the other reviewers mentioned though, the walls are very thin. Good happy... more

We stayed in Room 9 and loved the private patio with the glassed-in gas fireplace shared with our spacious king bedroom. The bathroom was so beautiful from the radiant-heated stone floor to the floor-to-ceiling glass doors on the shower. Wood from renewable resources is used throughout. Kudos to the owners and designer on a fabulous remodel. Also be sure to... more

Pros- clean, modern (duplex units), nice location in the redwoods, close to a restaurant , good phone reservations info Cons- rooms are smallish, a/c very noisy- (fan noise), we checked in then went to supper and then went to our unit which they had rented to someone else- they gave them another copy of the unit's key. no one was... more
