Inn · Monterey County

@cntraveler

"The vibe: Touristed roadside inn. Top amenities: Riverfront restaurant and bar, adjacent convenience store and deli. Best for: Road tripping motorists looking for comfy digs for the night. What's nearby: The Big Sur River and Andrew Molera State Park. Entering Big Sur Village from the north, this is the first property that greets you with snug motel-style rooms with updated finishes. Its indoor-outdoor restaurant sits along the banks of the Big Sur River and is usually abuzz with tourists. The real draw are the Adirondack chairs strewn about the river’s shallow waters. Nab a seat and a glass of wine, and dip your toes in the cooling ripples."
