This property is all about the location. Access to the village shops and dining is what its all about here. The hotel itself is in need of some work as every floor has a “out of order” sign on something. Our room while clean and well equipped had its shortfalls. The AC couldn’t really keep up with the heat of the day, but was aided by chilly evenings with the sliding door opened up. The toilet in the room is not fully secured to the floor and felt like it was going to topple over when getting up off of it. Never-mind that the toilet was so low that it felt like it was designed for a child. The room was clean and the bed/pillows were comfortable. TV microwave and minifridge worked well. Staff was pleasant, although they didn’t alert their guests that a third party was going door to door to check the fire alarms. Despite the shortcomings, we’ll be back because of the walkability, but really hope they address their maintenance issues.

Stay at your own risk

The air conditioning did not work. I was there for 4 days and on the last day it smelled like roach spray in the second floor hallway. Paid for breakfast in advance and it only comes with a drink and a choice of pancake or French toast, eggs and sausage are extra. I ordered an extra juice that was $5. I ordered a side of sausage that was $5. Of course none of this includes a tip.

Ice cold hot tub

We loved the location, they also accommodate us to stay in a room that was a little bit more fresh since the a/c in the whole hotel was not working. After staying I read the reviews and it seems to be broken for a while. The pool and the hot tub was ice cold!

Oktoberfest stay

I loved that the location is just steps from the village—so many things are within easy walking distance. We were there for Oktoberfest and didn’t have to walk far to catch the free transit to the convention center. There’s even a German deli with beer across the steeet. Those were the big wins. The front desk staff were kind and helpful, and the property overall was clean. That said, it’s definitely dated. The bathroom towels were super thin—think 1-ply—and way too small for an adult (they barely wrap around you), so bring your own if you can. I was hoping to enjoy the pool, but it was small and awkwardly placed in the parking lot, so that was a no-go. The AC wasn’t working during my stay, though they did provide fans. The property could use some updates and repairs, but nothing was truly awful. It felt like I was visiting in the off-season; I imagine the place comes alive in the winter. There’s even a little on-site restaurant and bar with live music at night, which was a nice touch. Overall, it’s not as cute, modern, or comfortable as other Big Bear spots I’ve stayed at, but the unbeatable location in the heart of the village makes it worth considering—especially during the winter months
