"Big Sur has been a destination for most of my adult life. I’ve covered every type of overnight including camping all the way to Post Ranch. I’ve stayed at Big Sur Lodge numerous times but this will be my last time. I get the premium of location, however when a nightly charge approaches $400, I expect some level of accommodations and the room we got was horrible. As we arrived, (at 4:30 PM) a landscaper was in front of our room soaking the area, forcing us to drag our bags over a hose and through water just to get to the room. While he apologized, who thinks it is good to water in front of a room post check in time? Once we opened the door to the room it was boiling hot. We needed every door and window open to get it to cool off a bit. Sadly, only the tiny bathroom window had a screen and we spent the night battling flys that entered the room unobstructed. There was NO breeze and we were unable to stay in the room so we left for the beach hoping it might cool off while we were gone. We later found a fan but with only one power outlet, it just circulated hot air. Miserable night as we could not leave the back door open as instructed. NO SCREENS on the sliding door and window?!? I get it that the accommodations are basic, no Wi-Fi, TV, AC. But no screens on doors and windows? This is a nature experience destination but no screens let moths drawn to the porch light and any passing bug unobstructed access. I hope this helps some avoid this situation, soooo not worth the cost."
