Natasha at reception was very friendly. Room was clean and modern. Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short due to the wildfires in the area but Natasha helped arrange for us to get a refund for the remaining night. Great customer service.

The hotel bar was very fun. The property was nice and shaded. The bed was lovely.
There wasn’t air conditioning but it was pretty comfortable.

The rooms are great and unique, I love the art style in the rooms and outside too. I feel like it fits my vibe, and is not a cold corporate looking hotel. It’s also very dog friendly, and conveniently located near everything you may need, including spots that are vegan friendly. I fully recommend staying here. I’ve already recommended it to everyone in my friend group.

This hotel has shared kitchen on the bottom floor where you could store food (labeling them so nobody else takes it). My remote control was not working to the television unit, and the host was gracious enough to come back in the evening to see what was happening; he ended up replacing the television on the spot. Friendly staff!

This was our second time at Sessions. We really liked it because the staff is friendly and the rooms are very clean. They didn’t disappoint again. I will never stay anywhere else when staying at Big Bear.

Room was spacious & clean. Amazinly priced, but when i tried to extend an extra night price went up so ended up getting a cabin else where. Didnt try pool, because no one gave an answer as to what time it closed. Also no ac only fan was provided. So wasnt too bad but still hot in room.

Nice place with many amenities including game room, shared fireplace room, kitchen, outdoor games like horseshoes. Very quiet and property is very spacious. Rooms are a bit small as it is an old style hotel and resort but fine if you are busy outside doing other things.

Nice hotel on the main Street
Really friendly check in and service. Thought we got a deluxe double but ended up with a top floor room at the far end of the floor with stairs far away. Did not realize I had to tell the hotel I was with a disabled friend. Room was nice and the area was continently located to town and the lake.
