It was traumatic for me & my kids. The toilet overflowed with water nonstop the whole bathroom including the carpet next to the bed , called emergency no. only the Receptionist lady came , no maintenance present at the facility at that day , i was asking the plunger from the Receptionist who ran into our room , and i had to do the plunger myself so that the water will stop overflowing from the toilet & we're really so terrified , i had to do it because the Receptionist was holding her cellphone while doing the plunging , couldn't imagine that bad experience on our stay here .First time in my whole life experienced it , after the incident the Receptionist moved us to anorther room .

fun hotel next to big bear. definitely would recommend going for the price, very kid friendly with ping pong, air hockey and a swimming pool. breakfast was okay, but free food is always welcome. staff was very nice and helpful. pool is closed in winter. smart tv in my room with netflix so that’s a massive plus. double queen room is a bit cramped. overall clean hotel with a fun atmosphere, many activities for people of all ages, quiet, fun staff and breakfast.

A very interesting Best Western. A mix between a typical BW, but with chandeliers, a piano in the lobby, and unique artwork. Clean rooms and a nice staff. I’d stay there again.

I wish housekeeping was automatic and not upon request. Also, the restaurant/bar area needs to be a bit more inviting. The tv was not working. The location was good/central.

My family had a great experience. We enjoyed the gym, game room, and hot tub. The room was on the small side but we had space for our luggage. The restaurant on site served tasty good portioned meals and the included breakfast was amazing, although it doesn’t open before 7am.
