Motel 6 Big Bear Lake, CA

8/10 Good
"To be fair this is an older building so don’t expect to much rooms are small. I’m happy to share that things were very clean inside and I wasn’t worried while I slept. So in this case I would say you get what you pay for. If you just need a quick layover for a night or two then it definitely works for that but nothing extra to right home about."
