My husband and I decided to overnight at this motel following a very hearty meal (and a few Margueritas) in their charming restaurant. As the restaurant (and parts of the motel I believe) was temporarily closing for a scheduled deep clean the very next morning (breakfast/room service therefore not available) we were given a really great deal for the night...

My bf and I went up to big sur for our anniversary (new years weekend) I've never been . I called everywhere looking for a room and everywhere was booked besides big sur river inn. I wasn't happy with spending 185 dollars on a room for one night with no tv,no wifi, and no service but had choice. But the... More

Walking into our room was the first surprise, how could they justify $189 for what was an up market garden shed clean but very basic with a bath that was the size of a shower tray. The heater worked but thankfully it was not a cold night. The food in the restaurant was OK but expensive with mediocre service, and... More

This was our first trip to Big Sur and thus no other accommodations to compare to in the area. The rooms were big enough (No TVs or Wifi – and no cell service either) and VERY clean. Hopefully you are not there to spend a lot of time in your room, however. We were during the off-season and prices were... More

The setting of the "Big Sur River Inn Motel" is great, but pretty much everything else about our stay there was disappointing. We stayed in one of the 2 room suites with a river view for $225 a night ($249 after taxes & fees). At this price, we were expecting much more than the run-down room that we got. The... More

The room was rustic and mediocre but what really was upseting was the fact that they got my reservation wrong and when we (2 of us) arrived, we only had one bed reserved, when I had specifically requested two. A room with 2 beds was available the first night only and we had to go to Monterey to get the... More

Big Sur River Inn has a great restaurant and chairs in the river- a location we always look forward to. As a treat, we decided to book a room at the Inn. Despite the fact that we booked months in advance and specifically requested and paid for a downstairs suite, what we got was an upstairs room. Be warned, upstairs... More

My stepson just got married outdoors by the river at the Big Sur River Inn. We thought the venue was lovely, the hors-d'oeuvres excellent and the dinner excellent as well. We had the place to ourselves for the afternoon and evening. We were not interrupted by any other tourists. The bride and her attendants had convenient rooms looking out over... More

I had the pleasure of staying here while photographing a wedding, and the beauty of the location made me want to stay much longer! My favorite part of the resort is around back where wooden adirondak chairs sit in the river, just begging you to sit, relax and just "be" in the midst of the swirling water! Beautiful place for...
