"We had a King room on the second floor, which is outside entry up stairs. The stairs were clean and well maintained. Entry is by keypad, which worked well for us. Staff was helpful and friendly on checkin. The room came with a microwave and mini-fridge/freezer and th AC worked well. It was very clean and well maintained. The amenities were correct for the room (product dispensers in the shower (3) and by the sink (2), towels (2 sets), tissue, luggage rack, ironing board, etc). These rooms have been renovated relatively recently (a few years) and have been very well maintained so far. The rooms here are well above average quality for lower cost motels in this immediate area and we will continue to return so long as they continue to maintain the property so well."

Lucia Lodge

Lucia Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This is just the sweetest place, nestled into a cliffside, south of Big Sur. Miles from any amenities, and with no one to greet you when you arrive, the owners nevertheless make checking in a breeze and even have the wit to provide an extra key in the lockbox in case you lock yourself out. In the morning, a "breakfast nook" opens at 8:30am so you can have a muffin and fruit and juice with the coffee you've made in the room. Ocean views are spectacular, even if you don't have an ocean view room, since you can walk up the trail to enjoy the sea. A real find. I've passed through Lucia dozens of times and always wondered what it would be like to stay there. Now I know. On this trip, it was the perfect stop."
