"The property is beautiful, and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Unfortunately, when we woke up after our first night, there was no running water in the RV. That had a significant impact on our stay, especially given the price. We would have appreciated knowing about the water situation before booking."

Top Big Sur Hotel Reviews

Bay Breeze Inn

Bay Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The Bay Breeze Inn is the best facility that I have stayed at in Seaside over the last three years. The room was large. The king size bed was wonderful. The microwave and refrigerator were more than adequate. The shower water strength was awesome. The staff were responsive. Parking was always available and free. I volunteer for Pebble Beach golf tournaments and getting there from the Inn is easy and about a 20 minute drive. Costco is 1/2 mile. Other grocery stores and restaurants are close by; some in walking distance."
