First the positives: staff was friendly, location was great as it’s right by the village and the location is quiet. The quirks: they have two friendly resident cats that roam the lobby and the halls. I loved that but just fyi. There is sort of a crystals vibe here with crystal lamps in the room and hallway. There was a boom box plugged in at the hallway playing until about 10 pm. There isn’t really any outdoor space attached to the building that you’d want to sit at. They had three picnic tables surrounded by odd storage of things like part of a toilet. You could see this eye sore from the room. The negative: terrible night’s sleep for all three nights. The floor boards creaked and walls are thin so you heard your neighbor’s movements and voices in rooms and hallways. Got a text that parking was free but front desk said there would be a charge for parking (in the end I was not charged). Rooms look nicer in photos than reality, with lots of polish needed throughout (broken door on cabinet that appeared to have one held a fridge but now was empty and dirty looking inside, general wear and tear like tired, stained paint in bathroom, a weird slatted radiator looking thing on the wall that looks dirty or dusty or in need of paint?, yet they had put in an updated mirror and some kitschy appliances, etc, to make it look funky modern hippy). For $200 a night I expect better, maybe the place would be good enough to get by at a lower price on the top floor.

Check-in was too late in the day 4pm. If we wanted to check-in earlier it would be an extra $50. We couldn’t use the tv. The worker tried her best to connect but she has no luck with the tv. Power shut off at 3am so we woke up with no electricity and we knew nothing about it. Food wasn’t available to us or coffee. Online it stated we had 1 free parking but when we checked in, we had to pay for parking. We will not be returning to Sierra Blue.

Really enjoyed this hotel. There are no elevators and a lot of stairs to get from one side to another or to an upper floor. The room was spacious with AC and a fan!! A giant window to see trees.
Shower floor is very slippery. 2 year old could barely stand without falling. Recommended a rubber mat.

Pros and Cons

Old property, looks like it's undergoing some renovations. While our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable, there was visible water damage on the bathroom ceiling and antiquated furniture. Minimal staff but very friendly. Walking distance to the Village was very convenient. Not bad for the price.

The staff were extremely friendly. The property needs an overhaul, though. For the price of each night they charge there is no way I should smell and see mold in the room. It is a health hazard and should be addressed as soon as possible. In addition, the walls are paper thin, so noise is booming through the rooms.

Terrible customer service The property was already doing construction on the pool Yet only notified us that the swim portion of this "swim club" a day and a half in advance We did not have enough time to replace this hotel as we were already traveling The least off the hotel could have done was give us a partial refund Especially since it was very very hot in Big Bear during our stay All they offered was if we decided to ever come back we could get a percentage off. That doesn't help the one day we had to stay in Big Bear The positives the room is nice. The bathroom needed updating but the room was decent The negative. There's no outdoor space other than the parking lot There's no nice seating area The pool wasn't available. The jacuzzi wasn't available, so if you're not sitting in your room, there's no actual amenities or anything else to enjoy of the hotel The hallways just smelt like cat litter. I'm allergic to cats. I didn't know this ahead of time that there were cats I think the website and Expedia need to just give quest 100 accurate information so we can make a decision on where to stay
No door lock didn't feel secure
Pool area not open and they did not. Let us know in an appropriate amount of time to find another hotel and get a full refund

Property is older and shows its wear and tear. The pictures make it look nicer than it is. Pool was empty when we arrived which was a bummer for the kids. No prior notice or info on their website as to the status of their pool.
