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.

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.

The room was dirty, it was not cleaned when we got there. Dirty bathroom, bed, full trash can and pizza boxes. Remote was not working and could not turn on the tv. Hair dryer did not work. They had free breakfast but no cups, bowls nor coffee creamer. And no hot water in the bathroom sink. Horrible experience!!

Staff is great, but room was filthy
The service from the staff was excellent from the front desk staff to the housekeeping staff that came in to help clean my shower after I called the office. Ask for the room it was filthy. My shower had brownish foamy soap scum all over the bottom of the shower and clumps of black hair. I found pretzels, chips and my dog found a Ken Barbie doll and a bottle of super glue in the room. After the housekeeping came up to clean my bathroom there was some water on the floor so I took one of the towels to wipe it up and the cloth came up filthy black. I don't feel that this room was cleaned at all prior to me coming into it

Love that it’s on the water with gorgeous view!!Love that they take pets!!Love the reasonable price ! Close to village but recommend car as Lakeview street has no shoulder! Love the dock ! Would be nice for them to provide coffee in the room so you don’t have to walk to the lobby where they run out a lot. Really nice staff as well!!!
