This trip was spontaneous and we decided to get a cheaper room. The room itself wasnt bad but the firplace didnt work and the outlets on an entire wall didnt work, which meant the tv didnt work and also the fridge, which was kind of annoying since we had food that belonged in the fridge. I was told i would get a partial refund, so im hoping that they follow through. Besides that the hotel was in a good location, the staff was kind and the room was decent.

This is a cozy property right on the lake! They had a property-wide maintenance issue on our first night but the front desk employees were friendly and accommodating about it. The issue was resolved for the second night and we were compensated for our troubles. Our little one liked the balconies overlooking the courtyard. This hotel was in a great location and within a short walk to Big Bear Village. We'd recommend you stay at this hotel, especially for the price!

Such a great cozy little spot. I was only there for less that 24 hours but I was greeted by staff with so much kindness every time and felt very welcome. I loved how close I was to the village which made it super easy to take a nice walk to the shops. Everything was clean and maintained. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place to recharge.

The room was nice but noticed there was a little gap under the door when we closed it. Sure enough, a mouse squeezed thru and scared the wife. I brought it up with the front desk and they made a note of it. That was the only opening I saw so that must have been where it came in. Other than that, I didn't have any complaints.

The stairs were hard to navigate, but we are seniors. We were super disappointed that the fireplace didn’t work. The room was decorated nice and the kitchen was a plus. Terry the manager was extremely nice. Part of the disappointment was Expedias fault. They listed it as having breakfast, it was continental. All and all it is a good location and fairly priced.
