Beautiful lake view, nice room, unpleasant smell.
The view is nice even the decor for hotel is nice. Just some old outdated smell inside the room that unpleasant. In the beds is only have thin comforter. The thick blankets inside cabinet we just find it in the morning by the time we’re leaving. So we have to turn in the gas fireplace at night to keep us not freeze. My daughter felt like out of air in the room because the gas fire place. For adventure the room is nice overlooking the beautiful lake. For comfort need to get rid of the old smell don’t know how. I feel my clothing smell that way too when I got home. But the check in guy is very helpful giving us map and where interesting thing to go. TV is not working but there’s lots to see rather than watching TV.

This was the most uncomfortable room i have stayed. The hotel was not handicap accessible. The only seating was on barstool style chairs at a table that the relacement tv was propped up on. I requested additional towels and wash cloths(2 of each) but not enough was available. The room made you feel uncomfortable that you did not want to be in it.

Clean and Quaint and Safe
This hotel was clean and comfortable. Check-in was quick and easy. The room was spacious and clean. TV and internet did their thing. The bathroom was clean and the shower had plenty of strong hot water. The surrounding area was safe and quiet and walkable. I would stay here again.

The property needs to be upgraded, there was no AC it was boiling. The Smoke detector went off and the front desk said to take the battery out. They did not clean or make the beds. We had to go to the front desk to get toilet paper. Would never book there again

Smoking right outside my room while having to keep the window open as the room was hot and stuffy. The room did have a ceiling fan outside the bathroom door but we could not feel it by the bed. I did notice other rooms had an extra fan by the window I happened to get a room without. Bring your own coffee for coffee pot. Lake is not that nicest on that side and the parking is limited. The room was clean and staff was friendly.

Had to ask twice to get toilet paper, finally got some 4 hours after we checked in. The bed had an old worn out spring mattress where you could feel each and every spring you were on.

Nora was amazing and check us in smoothly! You get what you paid for so don’t be afraid to adapt. Location is wonderful, near downtown and local stores. We were surprised room did not have AC but the weather was perfect and the fan inside was more than enough.

We liked the view of the lake. We spent a lot of our time on the balcony sitting and appreciating the nature day,night and early morning. It was neat to have a birds nest close by also. We will come back again.👍

The room smell like urine. It was the worst experience I've ever had and they don't do refunds and refused to switch my room. I stayed in my car mostly. I went there to clear my mind and relax and it was so horrible, I'll never go back. Do not recommend.

I’ve been staying in big bear lake for literally years since I was a kid. This is the worst experience me and my wife have had. The first time my wife used the bathroom she supposedly used “too much toilet paper” and caused the toilet to not work, and this was the first day. We asked for a toilet plunger and the most edgiest guy came into our room to say “we have no idea where it is”. And even told us to put our hands in there to take out the paper. My wife and I had to drive to the nearest hotel lobby just to use their restroom in middle of the night and morning. This is a horrible hotel experience and I even heard other guest complaining as soon as I checked in. Please save yourself the stress and time and STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE THIS PLACE IS NOT WORTH IT. I spent $123 to not have a restroom the entire time, which is illegal for a hotel in CA and yet no one seemed to care.

A quaint peaceful little beach area with its own wading area even its own boat dock ! Basketball hoop for the kids, bbq and picnic tables. Nice relaxing area to sip your coffee watch the ducks and the boats out on the early morning water.

The hotel was next to the lake and driving distance to the shops & dining. The only thing is that you can hear the people walking around upstairs from the room. But if you can overcome that its overall good. Definitely coming back here again.
