I am platinum with Expedia, so I don’t take posting a 1 star review lightly. I highly suggest not booking this place. Whilst the photos do look beautiful, sleeping was not possible. The renovation has had no care taken to actually sleeping, and every single thing can be heard. Dogs howling all night, the couple next door could be heard at midnight (use your imagination) and the constant road noise. Check in was appalling, no one was ever available on site. There are many beautiful places in big bear - such as Hotel Marina Riviera (which we booked for the second night as we could not stay another night in this hotel). Tread cautiously, this hotel felt like a money grab rather than a company that cared about hospitality.
