10/10 Excellent
"Great stay! The hotel and Big Bear in general are very dog friendly and it made the trip with our two small furbabies such a great experience. The staff were very helpful and kind. The location was great and the room was clean and spacious. We had such a wonderful stay, we will definitely be coming back again!"

"The staff was very friendly. The room could use some updating as well as the mattress. We went on a warm (80’s) weekend and just know that the rooms do not have air conditioning. They did provide a fan which helped. Enjoyed playing Super Mario on the Nintendo 64! Overall I would stay there again."

"The room air conditioning hasn't been working for several weeks and doesn't look like it will be fixed soon. They do offer fans, and the weather will probably be cooling down soon."
