There was no water for one day, and on the second day, there was partial water. We had to purchase water to flush the toilet. showered only once, fast before they took the water off the second day. I had spoken to someone at a holiday online, but i dont know if it was AI, but no one has responded to me.

For $300 a night I feel I need to be fully refunded of $600. There was no security door. It was taped open so you didn’t need a card to get in. It was extremely hot and no air-conditioning was available. The smoke alarm went off twice in the middle of the night and we called the front desk and no one answered.

No hot water and no water at the resort. Further, Expedia charged me more then the listed price and charges me an addition $222 for no reason. I cannot get in contact with anyone at Expedia because I keep getting cut off.

I had a smooth check in about 6pm. Once I settled into the room, and got back from dinner and showered, the shower handle wasn’t installed properly and moved suddenly turning the water scalding hot almost burning me.. we went to the front desk to changed the room because we’d be there for 3 nights.. the next room we were given, the adjoining room door didn’t lock, so they had their facilities person check it. You guessed it, we got another room. The next room, seemed fine except that the fire place didn’t work. Part of the reason why we booked this place. So our fourth and final room was fine except that we didn’t get the king bed we paid for, instead we got a very uncomfortable queen bed. We settled with this room because it was nearly 10pm and we were just tired. Not to mention the front desk person was very rude after the second room on. She made us feel like we were the problem but the rooms weren’t maintained properly. Also, no AC. The rooms are all heated. Breakfast the next morning was different. I expected a continental breakfast but breakfast was as the adjoining hotel restaurant. You can use credit toward the a la cart menu or choose a set plate (1 egg, hash brown or cottage cheese, bacon or sausage, and bread). It served its purpose. The staff there were friendly. On the last day, housekeeping was knocking on our door making sure we were going to check out, mind you we still had 30mins until checkout.

Front desk was on break and got stuck in traffic and we waited 45 minutes to check in. The electric fireplace was not working properly. Staff fixed it and the pilot light kept going out. The sink stunk like something rotten. It was an okay stay near downtown.

Love the walkable distance to the village. Good room. Some areas needed some maintenance and cleaning. Also, the room wasn’t very quiet, our dog could not sit still because of how many noises there were so late at night. Love the lobby. Pretty good beds and bathroom and tv. Super convenient.

STAY AWAY! Having stayed at this property multiple times over the years, and in this room specifically several times, I was astonished at how much the property had fallen apart since I’d last visited. What was once among the nicer properties in Big Bear, is now more like an overpriced, expansive Motel8. Fireplace that doesn’t work. Sink that doesn’t work. Heater that doesn’t work. Tub too filthy to step foot in. Bed that's a brick. Pillows like oversized kitchen sponges. Oh, and not enough towels and blankets. But what really set this place apart on this trip was the nighttime front desk staff. Either too lazy or ineffective to handle drunken hotel partiers causing a ruckus for hours, stretching into the morning, between the shouting, the arguments, and the cheering along to foot races down the hallways, hotel staff sat on their hands and did nothing. Suffice to say everyone – kids included – were woken up repeatedly, making for an awfully pleasant next day. And the best part of all, when I called down to the front desk to ask that something be done, the response I got from the man at the front desk was to dismiss my complaint and hang up on me. To say I’ll never stay here again is an understatement. I’ll vocally tell those around me to make sure they don’t ever make the same mistake.
