At the mid/low end I am generally not interested in staying at points hotels unless I need a late checkout or the property is generally the best in the region
Plenty of high-end options in and around Big Sur, even within the Hyatt ecosphere. CVR is only half an hour away if traffic's light, and Hyatt Carmel is even closer (it's not 5-star, but it's quite upscale ) Even in Big Sur proper, places like Glen Oaks offer what I would refer to as a luxury motel experience (though they have fancy standalone cabins as well).
