I'm new to Monterey and just spent the weekend with my girlfriend at one of the tent cabins here (Her idea, and a good one). We had a nice and relaxing time. Quarters are tight, so make sure to get on good terms with your neighbors, though. The redwoods provide plenty of shade. The cabin we stayed in was clean... more

My boyfriend and I went to Big sur for a weekend vacation. We stayed at fernwood for the price. Before I had booked the room, I read some reviews on the customer service and read that there were several complaints. But I decided to book it nonetheless. In a way, I was dissapointed because the customer service sucks. The girls... more

This is a great place with really nice brand new cabins in addition to the regular campgrounds and tentcabins. They're about $182 per night and sleep 6 which was ok, but my only complaint is that they tack on an additional charge if more than two people are staying. more

This is another one of those hotels when really you are paying for the location not the hotel, and if you keep that in mind whilst staying here you wont be too disappointed. The bedroom is really quite basic, and the bathrooms are old. The hotel is on the road, but i cant say that was a problem, it isnt... more

We stayed in the motel and while the rooms are close to the highway there was very little traffic noise during the night. The bar is fantastic, there's free wifi, and the food is good value. There's an excellent shop for general supplies and the staff are really friendly. I was almost put off staying here after reading some of... more

e had a 2-bedroom suite, one of the rooms was hardly any larger than the bed itself! Not a comfortable place at all, next to the road. more

I was on vacation with my 3 grandkids under the age of 10. We had been in our car for about 6 hours and were hoping for someplace nice for the night. We stayed in one of their new cabins to find out they didn't have any hot water and when I complained they said try again in the morning.... more

We booked this hotel during our trip from LA to San Francisco, along the Pacific Coast Hwy. And we were pleasantly surprised by the location of the hotel. It was affordable compared to the other hotels in the area ($84). It has a great grill and restaurant.The staff was very friendly too. The only downside was that the bathroom had... more

My partner and I arrived in Big Sur after a 13 hour flight and a 7 hour drive along some of the most beautiful coast line I've seen. We didn't want to spend a lot of money and chose Fernwood for both the location to Big Sur's sights and it's cheap rooms. They gave us a choice of a very... more
