There was an issue with check in that was likely a combination of issues between the hotel and Expedia that clearly had frustrated the hotel employees and guests as generally tensions were elevated during check in and it was not the most pleasant experience but it was able to be resolved. The AC was not working in the entire hotel and it was a hot weekend though it cooled down pretty well at night and was quiet enough to keep the windows open. The hotel location is great! Very walkable to things and ample parking which was appreciated. Generally pleasant stay.

Nobody’s on the same page …

1. Air didn’t work. They said they’ll bring a fan to the room and never did. 2. TV didn’t work. One person says they’ll send someone up. We went out for several hours for dinner return to it still not working. Call down again they say it’s still not working properly. 3. The restaurant said they closed at 10 (on a Friday night) but when we walked down at 8:45 pm they said the kitchen closes at 9. It was so annoying because the hotel was a perfect location to everything but now we’d think twice before booking here again.

We went to this hotel for our baby moon on labor day weekend and it was very very warm outside, once we got there to check in the front desk gal told us there AC is down and she will put us down stairs where it’ll be cooler also have housekeeping bring a fan for me since i’m pregnant! haha so let me tell you the fan they brought was as big as my ipad! and they only brought one fan, my poor fiance didn’t get one for himself for the nightstand, I asked them for another fan twice and since didn’t bring it, I gave up and we tried to make it work for both of us.. also if we wanted to open the glass screen door for cold air at during night time there’s no outside screen where you can lock it only an glass screen door!! so you can’t really have that open during night while we are sleeping cause anyone can walk it! anyways all I have to say about this place is please at least call your guest let them know when there’s no AC in the hotel when it’s literally around 80s and let them know about the downstairs rooms only has a glass screen doors.. we both had an uncomfortable experience and it’s sucks cause i really love big bear it’s just this hotel of choice! also to mention the front desk gal said she was going to give me $50 off for the inconvenience due to the AC system, I did not see it on my final bill? I didn’t even want to argue and call them for the $50 off they can keep it! cause we’re definitely not coming back to this hotel…

No A/C, no TV, check in took 45 minutes with only 5 people in line and 2 clerks behind the counter. apparently there were issues with 3rd party reservations. no discount offered for lack of services.

Great location, friendly staff, and free parking… but that’s it. The AC system was down for the whole property, they don’t let you know before arrival but when you arrive with a sign on the front doors. What are you supposed to do get a last minute reservation elsewhere? They did “upgraded” us to a balcony room with the idea of opening the balcony door over night to cool room. It worked but tell me why there isn’t a least a screen door to avoid bugs from coming in and a little extra safety. The pool and jacuzzi were also out of service and again no heads up when booking, specifically booked this hotel for jacuzzi use. Would stay here only for proximity to the village and free parking but that’s it!

AC was out there was no towels in my hotel room and the hygiene products wasn't swapped out. Only one person to check in for busy labor day weekend so when i went down and requested towels some was suppose be sent up never happened. I also ended up with resort fees and others fees which was mentioned. The day before I call i guess the big bear lodge hotline ans asked about a deposit she told me there wasn't which I was suprised. Yet when i checked my bank account had almost 100 worth of charges added to my expedia booking charge If your on a tight budget and just need a place to stay thats convenient go for it, but if you have a little extra money book somewhere else I slept horribly both nights the only positives was the bed appeared to be cleaned. Overall dissatisfied with this stay in the end I found they are currently in transition of getting new owners so hopefully they give the plave the facelift it deeply needs.

Unfortunately it wasn’t a great stay. The best part about the hotel was the location & that’s really it. You can walk to the downtown area. Other than that the AC didn’t work our whole stay, the Cable did not work either.

I could agree with this hotel being what it is at a lower price point. The rooms are old, showers are old, everything is old and drying out. When we arrived, we were informed that the AC was not working in the whole hotel. We agreed to check in, having arrived at nearly 1800 and my mother in law with us. We figured okay, it's Big Bear, we can open the windows, it gets cool at night. We were put on the 2nd floor, because they explained the 3rd and 4th floor were hot because of the AC. It was not the AC that was the problem. Later in the evening around 2200, my mother in law had already fallen asleep, we went to shower and discovered the shower nozzle was either broken or not working correctly, and the party that was going on when we arrived was still raging on loudly, despite the hotel sign indicating that quiet hours already began. I called the front desk and the only thing they could offer was to change rooms, because their maintenance went home for the night. I declined since my mother in law was already sleeping.. They also informed me the party was supposed to last until midnight. How would changing rooms help - it would still be noisy. The party went on til 0100, and also stirring the whole night from the loud music and cars outside. The hotel refused any type of credit. No prior notice to the guests either about the loud party that went on past hours. Their customer service sucks. This room was $360 for one night. What a joke. Never again.

When we arrived, we found out the whole Hotel’s air-conditioning system was out and would not be repaired till the morning. They did provide us with a Phan. It was difficult to get my mom in and out of the hotel as their ADA elevator was also broke and the only way to get to the other elevator was for her to walk down stairs. It was warm during the day because it was summer to the point of uncomfortable, but in the evening it was nice and cold with the windows open and the fan going so we went ahead and stayed as the room has been prepaid for. when I checked out, they did not charge my room to my bank for almost a month.

Feels like a cheap motel. The staff we encountered was nice. But there’s no AC. Our room was at a constant 75 to 77 degrees. They recommend we “open a window” but we were on the ground floor leading into the open patio area so it’s not like we can leave that open that long. Especially not ideal when you have a toddler like we do.

Do not book!

Property is either in process of bankruptcy or ownership change. I heard 2 different stories. However, air conditioning system for entire hotel has beeb broken for 2 months and no repairs scheduled. The hot tub was also non functioning. No repairs are being made. If this is how Holiday Inn allows there brand to be represented, I'd never book at a Holiday Inn facility again. Staff, however, was great and relocated me to a room that was less than 80 degrees in the evening. I felt bad for the staff who were left on the front line to deal with unhappy customers by their management.
