Big Bear Frontier

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this hotel for the location. And it did not disappoint. We walked to the village, the marina to rent a kayak, alpine slides and several restaurants. We knew ahead of time about the construction and the pool being closed. So I did not account those things into my review. We stayed in the hotel portion with a queen bed. It was clean and comfortable. Although we didn’t use them, I liked the option of the fridge and microwave in the room. We did hear quite a bit through the doors/walls, but mostly outside of quiet hours (they do provide earplugs!) And we utilized white noise. The staff in the office were welcoming and very helpful. We look forward to coming back next summer to see the completed upgrades."

Holiday Inn Resort The Lodge At Big Bear Lake by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room didn’t have air conditioning. The hotel gave us a fan to try and keep the room cooled off. Our room was on the third floor. The staff was wonderful and they went out of their way to accommodate us. The location was great."

Vintage Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved having the kitchenette with a real frig, a living room and separate bedroom. Parking was right in front with plenty of trailer parking. While there is no air conditioning, there is a large fan in the living area and a ceiling fan in the bedroom. We were very comfortable. Beds were also very comfortable. Great place, will be back next year."

Lagonita Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our room at the Lodge would be perfect for summer or winter as there is a nice fireplace. The kitchen was clean and well stocked. The balcony had a nice view of the lake. The staff were friendly and very helpful. There is a play place for kids and friendly ducks to feed. It is close to everything you could need but is isolated enough to be quiet. I would highly recommend it!"

The Burgundy

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing. I called the night before asking about extending and found out we got upgraded because there was a booking issue ! super sweet staff. only used the spa in the room once , shower water pressure wasn’t good but that’s to be expected at a hotel! bed was comfortable. i love the fact its a keyless entry door. walls are thin but that’s to be expected. Husband and i will definitely be back! so glad we were able to spend our honeymoon here!"

Hotel Marina Riviera

8/10 Good

"Everything was great! Friendly staff, Beautiful location. Great view. The restaurant was great. Walking distance to the Village. Short drive to everything else. Only problem was our AC unit started leaking onto the floor. They were very apologetic and tried to fix it right away but the problem did continue until we left. They did give us a discount for the inconvenience. Besides that I highly recommend this hotel! We will return!"
