Check in/out was easy and the staff very friendly and responsive. Room is very spacious and clean. The hotel is at a great location , walking distance from nice restaurants and stores. Everything was great, the only thing it could be update is the cookware/ pans, other than that we loved it and we’ll definitely come back.

We booked the Brown Bear room at SoCal Vacations. It’s right in the Main Street of Big Bear Village. It had everything we needed for our family of 4, plus doodle pup. We were able to cook in. Communication was stellar. Would definitely book again for winter or summer.
