Nice cozy hotel located walking distance from the village, shopping mall, dinning area and the big bear lake. the room and bathroom needs some upgrades and repairs as the shower knob was kind of broken. The font desk people were very nice and courteous. Overall we liked the place. I give 4.5 stars.

Not a great stay for us
Poor service - no response when using the phone number left on the sign in the front desk - the entire 3 day stay (I left a msg on the first day). Large cobweb in the corner of the room which makes me think not a lot of attention to detail when guests stay. Broken heater meant clicking sounds all night, booms every15 min and at one point stopped working altogether. 20 year old dog cannot be left in the room alone so although they’re dog friendly- you must be with your dog at all times. That meant canceling skiing, tubing, zoo visit, only sitting out in the cold for breakfast, lunch and dinner…be prepared if you stay with your dog.

Don’t be fooled like I was. The way this property presents itself online is a lie. I requested a quiet room a month before arriving but given one of the loudest rooms on the property and initially told at check-in we couldn’t switch rooms. Nobody slept all night long due to poor construction of the property as well as their policy to allow 24/7 use of the lobby, regardless of how loud or drunk the guests are who loudly shout in the middle of the night. Rooms don’t have any carpet or rugs so the ground floor can hear all the loud stomping above as well as chairs scraping across the very thin floors. Doors don’t have any chain locks so all it takes is a toddler pulling the door handle and it automatically disengages the deadbolt so they can run out of the property or fall down the stairs. The doors don’t fit the doorframe properly and you can see light coming in on 3 sides so this contributes to noise leakage. We barely had any hot water and had to take cold showers. The floors were not cleaned so our feet were black, the once white grout on the bathroom floor was also black. There are undisclosed cats living at this hotel and walking around the common area so beware if you have a cat allergy. There is also mold growing on the property (I have photos) which they try to fix with humidifiers but it’s not enough. Lipstick on a pig is what this property is. I will say the staff was nice but ultimately not able to do much. I was given a small partial refund for checking out early.

The hotel was a nice stay, but be aware they will nickle and dime you for everything. $60 pet fee. $56 resort fee, $17-$34 for breakfast per person. Not even the in room coffee is complimentary. Really feels like a bait and switch with the pricing. Anything positive I could say is overshadowed by the gross hidden fees.

Great hotel and easy walk to village
We had a great stay as a family of 4. We picked this hotel due to the large rooms and close proximity to the village. We were so happy with this hotel. The rooms were comfortable/spacious and they had a fun little game room our kids enjoyed. We were also able to easily walk with our stroller to the village which was so helpful since it was a crowded weekend. The room also featured snacks and drinks available for purchase at a reasonable price which came in handy. We will definitely stay here again!

Great staff. The room had a video game console that looked like it came out of the 80s with a ton of fun, retro games on it. There was also a record player and some records. Both gave the room a cool vibe. We will stay here again.

The property was close to the Village. Walkable if you wanted to. The property was clean. The room had bunk beds and an arcade game inside the room that was a major plus for a family of 6 with young kids. I’ll stay there again.
