Pros:

Expedia said my credit card had an issue and could not book the room for me. Ragged Point later called me personally to see if i was still interested in the room. I asked about. My credit card issues and they replied "not a problem ". I let them know i had made other plans, " no problem we are completely booked but had one opening available ". Wish i could have stayed there...oh well , maybe next trip.

Beautiful location at the southern end of Big Sur. Spectacular views, nice restaurant and wonderful peaceful nights. Dark and quiet. Very scrollable. Great place to "recharge your batteries." Highly recommended.

Pros:

Ocean view was nice and comfy bed. Overall place is a little dated but could be due to Hwy 1 closure for past couple years. Not a lot around but can take nice walks and enjoy nature.

Chose the place to see the views. 1st night was foggy but glad that on our last day it cleared out a bit. The guy from check in gave us informational great spots. Salmon Creek trail was nice!

Pros:

I enjoyed my stay very much. Better than expected. We had a superb ocean view. My only complaint was the bed was a little uncomfortable but I improvised with one of the extra pillows. Also I do wish there was a better reception for wifi and phone calls. The wifi is out of date but no fault of their own it is some governmental regulation to persevere the environment. There is a phone in the office that can be used as need. I definitely recommend it for a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. We will be coming back again!

Pros:

A wonderful view and beautiful grounds. We loved our balcony and cozy bed. The only downside was the horrible smell of cleaning products in the bathroom. We had to air it out for hours to even go in the bathroom without being overpowered by the smell of bleach and other cleaning supplies. I would suggest the hotel transitions to eco friendly cleaning products without a strong scent.

Pros:

Spider webs in room. Screen on rear sliding door damaged. Glass windows next to entry doors have no curtains and allow no privacy as you can see silhouettes and night lights through glass. No credit cards or debit cards accepted. Dining way over priced.

Pros:

Its been 10 years since I was last here, and the place is not quite what I remember. Things are looking a bit dated and run down. With highway 1 being shut down, they don't get the traffic they normally do, and have had to shut their down their mini mart/snack shack, and, I believe, reduce service at their restaurant. I hope they can survive this unfortunate situation, and bring the hotel back to its former glory. Such a beautiful location!
